Taylor Lindsey, the supplemental first-round pick who signed on Friday with the Angels, received an $873,000 bonus.
A shortstop from Desert Mountain High in Scottsdale, Ariz., Lindsey went 37th overall despite not ranking on Baseball America's Top 200 Prospects list. His bonus matched MLB's estimated recommendation for the No. 37 slot in 2009. The Blue Jays failed to sign Kentucky lefthander James Paxton with that pick a year ago.
