If the Pirates sign Appel, they will have a very impressive with Tallion, Cole, and Appel.

Re: Official 2012 Draft Day Thread (Day 1)
Point of clarification on the slotting bonuses. Am I understanding the budget is the amount set for a team's first 10 rounds, right? So while maybe the amount showing for #8 isn't the max they can pay, but the difference has to be made somewhere else. If so, I could see they could go up some, but they'll be sacrificing on some other draft pick (meaning, likely, they'll choose some later picks for affordable signability). Am I making sense with that?

Going to be a fun decade or so with lots of duels between the Reds and Pirates, methinks.

I liked Heaney, think he can be good.

I'd still not be surprised if the Reds select Stephen Piscotty at #14
