I still stand by this:
there should be a cap on ammy draft players.
50 million and six years is retarded for a draft pick.....absolutely absurd...i don't care if he is the next Maddux....the kid hasn't even pitched in the big leagues yet....hell that is half as much as Pujols is making!

Fields, Oliver, and Turner have all signed.
Great night.

Tate signs with Padres
Problemo?
The question is, will Turner's $6.25M bonus affect Stasburg and/or Ackley's bonus at all, assuming that the deals aren't done yet?Remember that Turner was picked ninth, so $6.25M is "considerably over slot".

A cap does nothing except:
a) artificially remove the entirety of a player's leverage and his right to receive his market price
b) make the owners richer

or..............keeps it fair.
it wouldn't be done to make the owners more rich, and i don't see how that is a valid point to the argument.
the reason for doing so is so you don't have Aaron Crowe's or Matt Harrington's who miss our on their baseball careers because of money. If you keep a reasonable cap limit for each draft slot...the team and player can try to negotiate under that cap limit.
let's say pick one can not sign more then an 8 million dollar signing bonus.
and then on down the list. it would keep it in check, it doesn't mean the players can get that much.
you can also have a 3 percent annual increase to the limit for inflation purposes.
....there is no reason baseball should potentially be deprived of a great talent because the player or the agent got too greedy that they were willing to walk away from millions to play a game they love.
it is allowing greed to run these young ball players rather then allowing them to just be excited to play.
is it really fair what Turner got? how would you like to be the guys drafted before him who got less?
it isn't about sticking it "the man" or owner....if you didn't have greedy owners, then you wouldn't have a free enterprise of major league baseball....you don't ignore a cap because as you said, "b) make the owners richer"
you do it for all the reasons that it would help these young athletes.
