Padres are on the clock...
I think they go for a pitcher.

We just selected a starting pitcher (Cal Quantrill of Stanford) that has already had Tommy-John surgery - and he's only 20 years old. One of the analysts at mlb.com stated the best predictor or future injury is past injury and with all the healthy high-ceiling arms available he didn't like the pick.
His father was a reliever - Paul Quantrill.For Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....

After selecting a pitcher coming off Tommy John the Padres go with a shortstop ranked #91 on mlb.com's big board. Problem is he was the #24 pick in the draft. Wow.For Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....

Quantrill was a bonehead pick in my mind. I'm sure he projects well but haven't we had enough of injured #1 picks? Fucking A. Then ANOTHER SS?
I'm about this close to pulling the ripcord on Preller.Comment

He's an SS, but he's projected to 3B. I think they really like his bat.Originally posted by ArtistFormerlyKnownAsBKR View PostComment

I read that later, but nonetheless I just don't get what his strategy is.Comment

Lawson, Reggie RHP from Victor Valley HS.
Another guy coming off of injury whose most recent development is going the wrong way.
This is some sort of Bobby Beathard draft.Comment

We just selected another TJ pitcher in Mason Thompson. He was much higher in the draft until the TJ issue but still I need to ask why would the Padres take such risks so early on a couple TJ pitchers?For Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....

I saw that. I guess if you really feel strongly about a guy, OK. But now this is two TJs before the 4th round and another guy coming off injury whose mechanics are all fouled up.
Thompson's pretty skinny for 6'7".Comment

Ten of our first 12 picks so far are pitchers. We're going to be set for pitching. I think Quantrill, Lauer, and maybe Thompson will be fast risers.
Will be interesting to see if we go heavy with infield players during the coming International signing period. That would make a lot of sense.
UPDATE: WE just drafted a 2B/3Bman in the 10th round. That ends the streak of pitchers.For Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....

Supposedly the Padres will draft some good talents in rounds 11-20 that have made it known they will require overslot offers - mega overslot in fact (to keep from going back to school). The Padres started with the third largest draft pool in the league and Preller promised all of that money would be spent. So we'll see later today.For Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....

That did look bad but there are some extenuating circumstances with him. That's a good pick. More later.Originally posted by ArtistFormerlyKnownAsBKR View PostFor Stinky-Jon-Wizzleteats....
