$3.25-$3.5 Million To Get Parker to Leave

Is that what Clemson is currently paying? They definitely getting their money's worth in football.
 
what a moron. like he has any future playing in the NFL. he's one injury away from relying on a Clemson degree for employment.
 
... because he'll make so much more in Arena Football.
 
Last year's #26 was Eric Arnett (RHP). He signed for $1.1 million. The closest OF prospect was #25 Mike Trout (CF). He signed for $1.2 million.

To earn more than $3 million, you had to be in the Top 6, and that didn't guarantee it. #4 Tony Sanchez signed for $2.5 million and #5 Matt Hobgood signed for $2.42 million. To earn more than $1.5 million, you had to be Top 10. The only players to make more than $3.5 million were #2 Dustin Ackley ($6 million) and #1 Stephen Strasburg ($15 million).

In short: Parker will probably not be offered even half of what his father is asking.

Andrew Brackmen got 4.55 million as the 30th pick a few years back. You can get however much you want from any slot in the draft. You aren't slotted into money.
 
Dabo should kick in some $ to encourage him to leave. That way, he'll have a good excuse if Clemson does poorly this year. If Parker plays, and Clemson still has a disappointing season, Swinney will likely be on the hot seat.

Brackman was signed for $3.3 million and put on the 40 man roster, despite the fact that the Yankees knew he would miss a season with TJ. Boras apparently spiked Cashman's drink that day.

Teams aren't limited to slot (btw the slot for #26 is $1.197 million) but they're not going to offer substantially above historical numbers unless there is reason to believe the guy won't sign (i.e. a guy who could go back to college and move way up the board in one season). Parker won't land higher than late first round next season, and he won't make it in the NFL, so the Rockies have a reason to stand around $1.2 - $1.5 million.
 
The Rockies will pay big (over $2MM). The players have the leverage here. Drew (the Boras Client) didn't lose any $$$ when he didn't sign and came back a year later. Didn't Austin Jackson get about $1MM in the 2nd or 3rd round? Supply and demand. Parker can play and the Rockies or someone next year will pay.
 
I'm sure this is just negotiation tactics. If they're going to the media and giving a figure there's obviously a reason for it.

I don't see how he has any leverage at all. He's not an NFL prospect ala Jake Locker or Joe Mauer.

Yikes! Clemson degree! The Rockies should wave that in his face and offer him $55k per year. When he mentions the NFL to them, they should cue up our two games against him last year.
 
If Parker turns down in excess of $1M baseball offer, in order to play a sport he will never play again after college, he is the epitome of a Clempson atha-leet... stoopid.
 
He'll sign in time. It negotiations. I will bet that he gets closer to his dad's figure than the $1MM figure.
