Andrew Carpenter Closes in on Clearwater Record!

Phillies sign Julian Sampson

2007 Draft

I love being wrong about things like this, but the Phillies handed over the money and got the deal done. Per Baseball America

There were two above-slot signings of late-round picks. The Phillies landed Washington high school righthander Julian Sampson (12th round) for $390,000, while the Rangers locked up California prep righty Kyle Ocampo (13th round) for $250,000.

MLB wants picks after the fifth round to receive no more than the last slotted bonus in the fifth round, which was $123,300 this year.

So far, so good. If it was only going to be one of either Sampson or Workman, I wanted Sampson, so this is a good start.
