Also, keep in mind since the advent of this CBA the Cards have signed every top-10 round pick.
They didn't sign Trevor McGill in the 3rd round of 2014, but received a comp pick and got Jordan Hicks in 2015. However, in 2015, they didn't sign Kep Brown, the 10th round pick.

And is supposedly going to go to Palm Beach when he does sign. Not surprised Jones would be the draftee assigned to the highest affiliate, a bit surprised he'd be in Advanced A.

You're right. I made the mistake of relying on Baseball America. Sorry about that.
I'd say the Cards are finished signing anyone of significance now.
The Cards can spend up to $277,250 on any pick made after the top-10 rounds ($177,250 to get to the 5% max overage to avoid a draft pick penalty plus the 100k you can spend after the top-10 rounds and not impact your bonus pool).
Will that sign either Whalen or Ydens? Doubtful. The other HS guys aren't really prospects and I would suspect that be enough money to sign any of them if they decided to throw that money at them at the deadline.

I thought I saw Cabbiness was a decent HS prospect but I could be mistaken.

Maybe I'm reading the draft tracker wrong over on viva el birdos, but it looks like we have closer to 500K over slot money to spend. If that is the case, who would you pursue left on the list? Whalen? Ydens? Murders? Do you think we could get 2 of the 3?
