Got him with the 4th pick.

I've had players called up the day they sign. In my current league, I drafted a Gwynn/Molitor/Biggio type lead off hitter first overall. He was a 31 overall 78 potential. The AI immediately called him up and suggested using him as a back RF against lefties. That part bugs me...a lot. I used him as an everyday player, even though he really wasn't my best option. He struggled initially, but is on pace to finish the season hitting .270 with 40 steals.
