Craig, there's nothing like that. The Blue Jays have already signed most/all of their seniors to "four-figure" bonuses.

Hey awesome article, but I just wanted to say you forgot Mets 10th round pick Paul Sewald who was a Senior from the Univ of San Diego. Thanks

Rockies took Senior Ben Waldrip out of Jacksonville St. in 10th as well.

Patrick Ludwig in Pitt's 10th round was also a college senior.

You list Kevin Brady as a Sr. He's a Sr. academically, but a redshirt Junior by eligibility. If you list him as a senior you also need to list Matt Price, another redshirt Junior, the same way.

It would be great to see the number of college seniors picked in these rounds from the previous draft. Clearly more were picked this year, but it didn't go from 0 to 61. It would be great to know the baseline from previous years.

Relative to slot, is there a lower limit for a signing bonus? I thought I'd heard that players can't be signed below 40% of slot.
If the 40% limit is at play, a 10th rounder ($125K slot) can't be signed for less than $50K, and a team can't free up more than $75K. If there is no lower limit, a team can sign a 10th rounder for $5k and free up $120K instead.
Does this 40% limit exist, or was I (or my source) dreaming?
