Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus polled five people within the game this morning to figure out how many first-round picks might pass on signing today; according to Goldstein, three of the executives said that every player will sign, while two said that one player won't sign. Goldstein added that, of the executives who expect one player to pass on signing, neither thought that player would be Blue Jays first-round pick Tyler Beede.

and more on the top picks left to sign


Twenty-three of the 33 first-round picks of this year's draft awoke Monday unsigned, while 11 of 27 supplemental first-rounders haven't reached terms.
Teams have been told by the commissioner's office to not offer more than the specific signing bonuses it has outlined for each pick in the first five rounds.
The league also is trying to clamp down on the amount of bonus information announced so as to prevent players from using that of others as leverage in negotiations.
