Wouldn’t it figure that the Mets went cheap?
Posted by Tony | August 18, 2009 at 2:00 pm | ShortcutThe Mets are a joke.. how can they deny the financial dire straits they’re in any longer?
Posted by Rick | August 18, 2009 at 2:03 pm | ShortcutWow!!! How could a team in the biggest market spend the least amount of money?
Looks like Madoff has bankrupt Freddie Coupons!
Posted by Kevin | August 18, 2009 at 2:08 pm | ShortcutSo if the Mets signed the same players, but gave each of them an extra million dollars, it would have been a great draft?

Posted by JessD | August 18, 2009 at 11:13 pm | ShortcutSo given the amount spent by the Cardinals (middle of the pack)– did they get value for their ten picks?
Posted by Allen | August 19, 2009 at 6:29 pm | ShortcutSure it’s risky, but draft dollars are the best investment in baseball. If you didn’t spend much, then you didn’t do a good job of drafting.
Posted by Walt | August 20, 2009 at 12:34 pm | Shortcut[...] Cooper over at Baseball America has a list of the money spent on the top ten rounds of the 2009 draft. The Mets unsurprisingly spent the [...]
