Yesterday we posted an article looking at the top available draft picks remaining on the board ahead of the third round pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The thought going into that article was that the Pirates should have money available for over-slot picks after their first three selections on day one. None of them seemed like over-slot picks, though it seems possible that they could save a little on all three, which we will soon find out as players start to sign.
That thought process is still there going into day three after the Pirates didn’t pick anyone on Monday who should require over-slot money, and they took a handful of players who should get under slot.
