Here's the list of who have signed: Of those not signed in top 20 rounds: 2 Kessinger just had his season end 3 Brewer is still playing 4 Barber is going to be overslot, so needs the other deals done first 9 Battenfield just had his season end 11 Gusto juco arm, possibly waiting on overslot 16 Jordan juco bat, possibly waiting on overslot 18 Campbell HS arm, probably overslot if he signs 19 Krabbe. Don't know why he hasn't signed yet, but his Twitter says he's an astro. Looks like this is shaping up to be fairly drama free.
They’ve freed up something like $600k so far. Unless some other underclassmen are getting above slot, Barber is going to get 2nd round money.

They got $750k Net underslot. I don’t know what Brewer is expected to get but Barber probably got 2nd rd money and there may be enough for a couple other guys to get overslot.
If my calculations are correct, they're about 100k under if all unreported bonuses are at slot, plus another 250k before they lose a pick.
That’ll probably get taken by some combo of Dickey, Reese, Jordan, Gusto, and Campbell. Guys drafted in the 30-40th still probably out of play. Barber had better be good.
