As a UNC guy, and a huge baseball fan I will follow what happens with some of UNC's signees. Namely, Brian Goodwin(high school teammate of my son)and Donovon Tate(UNC Football signee). While reading some posts on a UNC Football message board, I saw that a poster had theorized that the Padres(drafted Tate) would likely not pay Tate a huge amount so as to have more money to pay their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks. Is that a plausible scenario, or is the poster engaged in wishful thinking hoping Tate will be on campus? Surely all MLB teams are generally prepared to pay all their draftees, correct?
