Any chance we sign Matt Harvey?

There's the list of players we drafted, the bolded one's are the guys that we have signed so far. It makes me wonder if we will ever sign Matt Harvey. If we can sign him, we would be left with the steal of the draft. He should have never fallen that far. Hell, one site (Click Here) had him going 17th overall to the Texas Rangers in the draft. He fell 101 picks past that and into our laps. Another site (Click Here) had him going 18th to the Cardinals. He fell exactly 100 spots past that prediction and into our waiting laps. Another site (Click Here) had him going 8th overall to the Colorado Rockies, 110 spots past that prediction and into our waiting laps. A lot of people even believe that his upside is bigger than that of Rick Porcello, the top high school pitcher in the draft who fell far because of signability issues. He's a future stud if brought up correctly, much like Weaver was.

So, is there any chance that we sign him? I can only hope that we do. Much like Jered Weaver, who fell to us in the first round back in 2003, he is a Scott Boras client, so who knows. I say we drop the bank on him and make it happen. But, that's just me.
