Braves have $4 million to spend on first ten picks in 2012 draft

Jim Callis of Baseball America has released the draft pool allotments in the first 10 rounds for every team under the new CBA, and the Braves happen to rank near the very bottom at $4,030,800. Could this be a potential handcuff? Only $3,735,700 was spent in last year's draft, but the Braves may have had a different plan for this year, and this limitation could interfere with some drafting flexibility.
