If you go 5-10% over your draft allotment, you lose your first rounder for the following yr. The Red Sox allotment for their entire draft is $6.83 million. Last yr, the Astros didn't pick Appel because he wanted the entire first round allotment of near $7 million. The sox first round pick is worth $3.24 million. If you assume all teams will go to the 5% wall, then that leaves that pick at $3.4 million. If Appel wanted $6 mil and believes he can get it, then the sox might be drafting him for no reason since he'll either kill their entire pool or he'll go to Indy ball and take his chances next yr. Regardless, I think the point is moot. He doesn't fall past the Cubs IMO
