It may well be that the 189.9MM draft pool does not hit that number. Several teams have relatively high cap values in comparison to what they normally spend. It will be interesting to see if there is pressure to get near their cap value.

Nice post, Jon. Just as a reminder to readers, these are total amounts alotted for draft spend, but not all teams have the same number of picks.
So Boston, for example, has fewer $$ per pick, despite having virtually the same amount of money as Baltimore.
Also keep in mind that if you sign a player for under the alotted amount, you can spend that excess elsewhere.
The result is a TON more strategy being required in formulating an approach to selections.
It should also be noted that if you fail to sign a pick, that money us subtracted from the pool.
Right -- there are a couple of different approaches that could work in this structure, theoretically. But comminication with your signees-to-be will be paramount, and correctly profiling the class on the whole should help determine a team's approach (based on their alotment/picks).
I'm wondering if there will be any "bargains" in the first round (at least, the early picks) under this system. For example, the Orioles' #4 pick is slotted for $4.2M. If I'm the agent of whatever player is selected, why would I accept less than the full amount? In theory, being able to reallocate any savings sounds nice, but will that actually happen? What I don't want to see is a signability pick that saves some money just to reallocate it later. Swing the bat with your first-rounder.
