Draft Pick Signing Deadline and opening of New Medowlands Stadium

Major League Baseball teams have until midnight tonight to sign their draft picks from the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft. It's worth noting that there are 15 first-round picks who have yet to sign, the most notable being the Washington Nationals' no. 1 overall pick Bryce Harper. The list is as follows:
  1. Bryce Harper, Nationals
  2. Jameson Taillon, Pirates
  3. Manny Machado, Orioles
  4. Drew Pomeranz, Indians
  5. Barret Loux, Diamondbacks
  6. Matt Harvey, Mets
  7. Karsten Whitson, Padres
  8. Deck McGuire, Blue Jays
  9. Yasmani Grandal, Reds
  10. Dylan Covey, Brewers
  11. Josh Sale, Rays
  12. Christian Yelich, Marlins
  13. Zack Cox, Cardinals
  14. Kyle Parker, Rockies
  15. Zach Lee, Dodgers
Indications are that Harper and Taillon, the first two picks in the draft, will sign before the deadline for big money contracts. Many expect Harper to get more than the record $15 million that the Nationals gave last year's no. 1 overall pick Stephen Strasburg.

As for me, I'll cross out the names of those who sign, as well as their figures.

As well, tonight at 8:00 PM the New York Giants and New York Jets will face-off in the first game at the New Medowlands Stadium. I'll be watching that game too. Should be a good one.
