The next Matt Murton?

Though, of course, as the 3rd pick in the draft he'll get a million chances before being regulated to bench duty like Murton.

Cubs selected third baseman Josh Vitters third overall in the draft.
Vitters is an advanced player for a high school product, and if he could stay at third base, he might have the bat to become a star. That said, there's a good chance he'll end up in left field, making him a little less of an asset. The Cubs hope he'll develop into a .280-.300 hitter with 25-homer ability.
