Szczur picked in Round 5, pick # 160 of MLB Draft by Chicago Cubs

Cubs! Couldn't ask for more. He should most definitely sign.

Sign!!

SIGN!

He should definitely sign. The worst thing he could do is not sign and then end up getting injured at Nova this season.

Guaranteed money?

A 5th round, fast outfielder in the Cubs organization....sign on the dotted line. He already has a NC ring and now he can cash a nice check. Hearing about him donating his marrow show what kind of a person he is so I hope he does something "selfish" !

put it in the MLB thread like everyone else

I wouldn't have read it if it was in an MLB thread. Here is good and it is the only player from FCS I really give a shit about anyway.

Hey, I know why it's over here. I'm just sayin' All the other FCS guys being drafted are listed under the MLB Draft thread. Only seems fair. (but i know he plays football too and I had to get some kinda dig in)

PLEASE SIGN as football fall camp is starting.

Seriously, he was THE reason Nova beat Montana. I honestly wish him the best and his signing to play baseball should have come about 7 months earlier.

It actually wouldn't be fair because he not only played baseball but was a major mother fucking star on the football field and won a NC so having a little extra glory is what would seem fitting to me.

He's still an FCS football player until he announces his decision or he signs.

This is easily the biggest story of the offseason for FCS.

Ah, so Edwards being drafted was just a passing thought

I'll try to remember that in the future

the "slot" for his pick is $137,000. He'll probably get over slot by a little because of the incentive to return to college, but not by much. I'd peg him for $150,000-200,000 in a signing bonus plus a minor league contract (read very little money in salary and only paid during the summer). The one thing he should be able to get his the remainder of his undergraduate degree paid for if he wants to go back to school after his playing days are over.

fair enough.

What's the $$ for round 5, 1st pick (# 146). They took our Jr SS (though I don't know why anyone would) and I wonder if he'll take the money or not

I don't know the exact figure, but you can generally look at a difference of about $5000 per draft spot when you get into the 5th round.

So that would put the 5th round 1st pick around $200k. Keep in mind that is just the recomended MLB slot. They can go above or below that if they want, but it provides a starting point for negotiations.

No, THE reason was that Nova's o-line dominated the Montana D line and blew open holes for him, Whitney and the other Nova backs to run through all night long.

I have no personal insight, but I can tell you that driving in the car yesterday afternoon, local Phiilly sports radio said it may be a tough decision but they thought he'd stay at 'Nova....

Generally from what I understand, if you get taken in the first 2 rounds it's a done deal, you go to the pros. If you get taken 3-7, it becomes a question mark. Do you go to the college you signed with, do you stay in college for your senior year, etc. May not know until mid August when these kids have to make their final decision.

I think Scissors will decide well before then out of respect for the 'Nova football program. And, one of the things you'll lose if you stick around for your senior year is the leverage of going back. As danefan pointed out, there's almost no way he goes over slot if he stays for his senior year -- and runs the risk of injury. If you're thinking with your brain, you gotta sign. If he goes with his heart, who knows? I'm sure he'd like back to back titles.

Agreed with all but the last sentence. Fuck him on that one.
