Also, as Rene Gayo has said, you can’t anticipate how a six figure bonus will change these kids. Some see it as a stepping stone towards a bigger future, while others see it as the ultimate payoff, and in some areas $150k is a monumental sum.

I think they do a great job in Latin America and it really disappointed me that they put in a new spending cap there and made it such a low number. The amateur draft is a whole different ballgame though, no one should be happy with the overall results when compared to the spending

As a group, they have a decent amount of six figure bonus players. Some lived up to those numbers, while others did not. ”
