    Those four were college seniors. The Astros likely signed all four under-slot, freeing monies to sign the drafted HSers.

    Bonuses in, from the Baseball America draft database:

    Bryan Carney - $47,500
    Aaron Piasecki - $97,500
    Ryan Pruitt - $2500
    Taz Butler - $2500

    Looks like they all had the $2500 contingency amount shaved off, otherwise it would be $50K for Carney, $100K for Piasecki, and $5000 apiece for Pruitt and Butler. OP updated.

    Dang I pegged those 4 guys for ~$700k underslot and they ended up ~$760k underslot. Nice.

    They are often connected and rely upon each other.
