Cubs Sign Baez, Vogelbach, Maples … and Nine of Top Ten Draft Picks

August 16, 2011 12:54 am By Neil 68 Comments

The Chicago Cubs were extremely busy Monday leading up to the signing deadline. The Cubs inked nine of their top ten draft picks and 18 of the top 20 … and in the process they paid over slot for a majority of those picks.

The Cubs signed first round pick Javier Baez to a $2.625 million bonus. Dan Vogelbach, the left-handed slugger from Florida, signed for $1.6 million and the Cubs inked Dillon Maples, their 14th round pick to a $2.5 million bonus … the largest bonus ever handed out to a pick below the second round. Maples, a right-handed pitcher, was named the North Carolina Baseball Player of the Year

The Cubs also announced the signing of Shawon Dunston, Jr., who had committed to play ball at Vanderbilt. Dunston, Jr. received a $1.275 million bonus. Of the top 10 picks, the only player the Cubs were not able to sign was the eighth round pick, OF Taylor Dugas.
