Yankees sign 16 of top 17 draft picks

Last night was the deadline for signing players out of the 2010 draft. Heading into deadline day, the only pick unsigned by the Yankees in their top 10 rounds was their fourth-rounder Mason Williams, but the Yankees signed him before the deadline last night. They signed 16 of their top 17 picks and 29 of their 50 overall.
