Sigh of Keeper League Relief!

With just mere seconds before the MLB draft signing deadline struck, a flurry of signings came across the desk. Most notably of which were Moustakes signing with the Royals, Vitters with the Cubs and Wieters with the Orioles.

Both Moustakes and Wieters looked like long shots in getting done; however, both opted to go pro. Vitters was assumed to have a verbal agreement, but was simply waiting until Moustakes had decided to go public with it.

As far as fantasy impact goes, Wieters and Price are the biggest "near-term" contributors. Price has #1 SP stuff and needs to be grabbed in all keeper leagues, while Wieters is a powerful switch hitting catcher. Both should rise through the minors quickly, more than likely making their debuts in mid-2008 with their respective clubs.

Coming out of high school, Moustakes and Vitters are more long-term projects, as is Porcello (Tigers). All three have enormously high ceilings, but as with any high school draft pick, the bust rate is ridiculously high, so buyer beware! It is still worth taking a shot on them simply due to the amazing upside.

On a down note, any Matt Harvey owners have to be a little bummed today as he failed to even negotiate with the Angels, let alone sign with them. He will be attending UNC in a few weeks.
