Only a day remains in the 2017 MLB draft as general managers look to find what value they can get in the later rounds.
The nature of the bonus pools makes it difficult to add high-potential prospects in the 11th round and beyond. With the bonuses capped at $125,000, teams have to dip into their general bonus fund if they want to exceed that amount.
That offers little incentive for GMs to target prep players who have slipped down the draft board since those players will almost certainly demand more than the pool amount.
