Deadline Deals: Sox Sign Seven

If you don't know, now you know, you know.
The 12 AM deadline to sign 2011 draft prospects has come and gone, and the Sox beat the crap out of it.
Only Miss Cleo knows who of the 2011 MLB draft class will achieve greatness. But Theo was almost perfect on Monday night, signing seven out of eight dudes that they were in active negotiations with, including all four 1st-round picks.
The only guy that turned down millions of dollars to go back to being college poor was 8th-round pick Senquez Golson.
But here is the list of the newest Sox prospects and how much they signed for, per Alex Speier:
1st round (No. 19): Right-hander Matt Barnes, University of Connecticut, $1.5 million
1st round (No. 26): Catcher Blake Swihart, Rancho Rio HS, $2.5 million
1st round supplemental (No. 36): Left-hander Henry Owens, Edison HS, $1.55 million
1st round supplemental (No. 40): Center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., University of South Carolina, $1.1 million
4th round: Right-hander Noe Ramirez, Cal State Fullerton, $625,000
5th round: Shortstop Mookie Betts, Overton HS (Tenn.), bonus unknown
7th round: Left-hander Cody Kukuk, Free State HS (Kansas), $800,000
