In what was only a surprise move if you weren’t paying attention for the last 24 hours or so, The Phillies selected Outfielder Mickey Moniak from La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, California. Moniak will likely sign for well below the assigned pick value of just north of $9M, though it could be some time before we get an official number there. I’d guess it’s not less than $5.25M, but not much more. Sense was he would not get poicked by Atlanta or Cincinnati, so his point of leverage for bonus would by the fourth pick – slotted at $5.
