I am thinking Rhett Wiseman is becoming more and more of a possibility.

I know I'll never forget where I was when I heard Jasvir Rakkar signed...
So it's official... I'm a Cub!!!
Seriously though the guy was a pitcher on the Stony Brook team and it is nice to be adding the depth though he is really, really unlikely to ever affect the major league roster.

The link you posted above shows the over-under budget but doesn't actually list how much each guy signs for. Unless I'm totally blind, which sometimes happens :D

It apparently doesn't show the bonuses for each player but it shows how they could spend, how much they have spent, and how much they are over or under budget at the top.

If you go back a page or two in this thread, there is a link to Baseball America draft tracker. You can't get the individual bonus amounts, but it has the guys the Cubs signed bolded. It also has the amount the Cubs have spent on their pool and how much under they are under their budget so far.

Pierce Johnson signed for slot apparently. And fifth rounder Prieto signed for 57K under slot.
