The Rockies, with two extra draft choices as compensation for the loss of free agent Brian Fuentes, signed seven players in the first five rounds of the draft, spending $7.1533 million on signing bonuses on the players.

The Rockies spent the fifth largest amount on signing bonuses for the first five rounds of the draft. NL West members San Diego ($8.2325 million on five players) and Arizona ($7.3737 million on 10 players) ranked third and fourth. San Francisco was 10th ($4.8785 on five players) and the Dodgers were 22nd ($3.13966 million on six players). The Dodgers received two compensations picks for the loss of right-hander Derek Lowe to Atlanta, but also lost their own first-round pick to Arizona for signing second baseman Orlando Hudson.

Washington led the 30 teams with $10.475 million in signing bonuses to four players, inlcuding what was listed as a $7.5 million bonus for right-hander Stephen Strasburg, the No. 1 pick overall in the draft. The remainder of Strasburg’s signing package will be paid in salary over the next four seasons. Washington failed to sign its fifth-round selection.

Seattle was second with $9.9836 million in signing bonuses for seven players.

Washington, Seattle and San Diego had the top three selections in the draft, which impacted their overall bonus packages. All three players are represented by agent Scott Boras and signed shortly before the deadline Monday night.

Despite a report to the contrary, Greg Reynolds held the Rockies record for the largest signing bonus trying to the signing of Matzek.

Here’s the five largest signing bonuses for the Rockies:

1. Tyler Matzek, first-round draft 2009, $3.9 million
2. Greg Reynolds, first-round 2006, $3.25 million
3. Jason Young, second-round draft 2000, $2.75 million
4. Troy Tulowitzki, first-round draft 2005, $2.3 million
