A's 5th round pick- 182,000
A's 8th round pick- 92,000
A's 9th round pick- 75,000

Anybody telling you the A's suddenly jumped to 400K for a 10th rounder is not a very intelligent individual. Especially when they arent known for big bonuses anyway

I am with you, no way in hell he got $400K.

We are talking about the A's, not the Red Sox or Yankee's.
They do not pay for unproven players, period....
Anyone ever hear of "Moneyball" and Billy Beane?</p>

It would be different if he had indicated a strong desire for college and to pass on the draft. Sometimes in those cases several teams will pass on the player in the early rounds because they don't believe they can sign him. Then they make take a stab in the dark at him in later rounds offerring big money and while trying to convince the player to sign.

In Dixon's case, he had always indicated that he would take the money if offerred.

its about how to score runs. It just happens to use stats that show that undervalued players can help you score runs; therefore, small market teams can afford to get those guys at lower salaries. Generally speaking, if everyone used the moneyball concept, salaries wouldn't change and small market teams would still struggle.

And moneyball also stresses college players so obviously they are willing to deviate from that strategy. And again, maholm got offered near a mill in the 17th round by the TWINS in 2000 so this isn't unheard of. They are drooling over Dixon on the A's scout board (yeah, I did it, I went to the A's scout board).

i'm not arguing with you, but if those guys were college juniors or seniors, wouldn't it follow that they may offer a highly touted high school senior a significantly larger signing bonus than older guys they drafted earlier? if dixon really is a top 3 round talent, maybe they drafted him, thinking if they didn't sign a top pick, they'd have money to throw at him later.</p>

that the sabermetrically-inclined, Moneyball-inspiring Oakland A's would throw that kind of cheese at an unproven prospect. If it was a money-hemorrhaging franchise like either New York team, maybe.

...and now I see that everyone else has already said the same thing I did. That's what I get for taking 15 minutes to reply.

if he really was a top 3 round talent, somebody would have chosen him before the 10th round. He hasnt hidden the fact he wanted to play baseball. And historically, black kids from Mississippi havent been known to holdout for lots of money or forego the money to attend college...

No player so far lower than Round 3 has signed for more than 287,000...and neither did Rashun Dixon

FYI

"Moneyball
also touches onto the A's methods of prospect selection. Sabermetricians argue that a college baseball player's chance of MLB success is far and away higher than a traditional high school draft pick. Beane maintains that high draft picks spent on high school prospects, regardless of talent or physical potential as evaluated by traditional scouting, are as good as wasted."

Players drop and get signed for bigger bonuses all of the time. If you think a player is going to drop, and you have a little extra cash to meet his needs, why not let him drop? You can still get the players you need now, and get him later, and if it doesn't work out...all you wasted was a 10th round selection instead of a 3rd round selection. Here are the 2007 signing bonuses scroll through it, you can see jumps in signing bonuses throughout the first 10 rounds.

Oakland A's signings for 2007-

2nd round- 432,000
3rd round- 238,000
4th round- 155,000
5th round- 126,000
6th round- 25,000
7th round- 100,000
8th and 9th rounds- didnt sign the player
10th round- 7,500

aGAIN- Dixon didnt get 400,000 and it wasnt even close to it, no matter what he says. This them trying to save face due to statements made to the paper. I just hope the kid got something close to 100K
