PrintThis will probably get no where near the number of posts as Day 1, but at least it allows some GLBers to chat on a Wednesday. We're now in the 7th 8th round somewhere in done with the second day of drafting.

We've definitely started to stock up on pitchers. James Needy is from Santee. I also found a ESPN College Football recruiting page for him. He's the 140th ranked QB according to them.

Another pick
- Nathan Freeman, Duke U (SR) R/R 1B
WTF do we need another 1B for?
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
wow, why did it number it like that.
That 1. should be 234.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Well
I’m not really thinking about those guys since they are already in AAA and the majors.
But we have Cooper in AA hitting really well, Carrasco is doing pretty well in Lake Elsinore and Ft Wayne already has 2 1B in Dykstra and Clark. I guess somebody has to play 1B for the Eugene Emeralds, but it doesn’t need to be at the expense of a prospect at another position.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
From DePo
A 6’8" first baseman, Nate has monster power. This year, his senior year, he had 19 homers and just 24 strikeouts. As you can imagine, he makes a nice target over at 1B.

Roster fill guy
with huge upside! Probably has a good pick up game as well.

I also found Donovan Tate's recruiting page
Here.
He’s listed as the #6 ATH. Whatever that means. I guess because he played QB in a system that wouldn’t work in college, they aren’t sure what position he’d be.
Both links have highlights included, but I assume they are ESPN Insider membership only. I will say the Tate can sure chuck it down the field.

Another Pick
264. Christopher Fetter, U Michigan (5S), R/R RHP
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
DePo again
A 6’8", 230 lb starting pitcher, Chris had a huge spring after seeing a jump in his velocity up to 94 mph. In 94 innings this season he walked just 17 and struck out 103. At 6’8" you could say he has good “downhill plane”.

That there is a them to our pitchers this year. I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s tall and throw hard.

They keep picking

I'm serious
That’s how it works. Eventually teams will start forfeiting picks and once all the teams do that, the draft is over.

Donovan Tate and James Needy
You think we’re boring Harold Reynolds?? Screw you!
The Padres already have a geniune quarterback controversy on our hands! What do you think of that Harold??
Have you seen the measurements for all our drafted pitchers?
This QB controversy may not just be between two guys. All of them have ideal QB measures except for Sampson.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
Picked this up from Baseball Prospectus
Kevin Goldstein (9:20:26 AM PT): The Padres are surprisingly the first team to take a signability guy in Keyvius Sampson, a projectable RHP and one of the better arms in Florida. He’ll take more than 4th round money to sign, and the Padres continue to change their ways.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
reponse from another BP contributer
Kiley McDaniel (9:28:28 AM PT): Agreed on Sampson, KG. Saw him this year and really like him. Welcome change of course for SD and great pick if they pay the man.

More
Kevin Goldstein (10:08:11 AM PT): Matt Hunter (Tallahassee): Kevin do you see the Padres getting Sampson signed?
KG: You need to keep in mind that when you see these signability picks, they’re almost NEVER done blindly, there was almost definitely a phone call there to at least get a feel for the cash.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
DePo on our 10th rounder (#294)
Ryan Hinson, LHP from Clemson University
It was about time we took a lefty. A 6’2", 220 lb reliever, Ryan has also started in the past. In the bullpen his FB has been up to 94 to go along with a solid slider.
The draft is really going fast right now, so I’m not going to be able to continue posting after each pick. There are a few breaks, so I’ll try to do so roundups along with a recap at the end of the day.

For those who follow college football, Jake Locker (Washington QB) was the last pick in the 10th round.

No video on this guy
none on Drake either.
He’s also a college SR too, which means he’s not a good Peoria candidate either. I guess the 1B and DH stops in Eugene are accounted for now.

From BP in their first round recap
3. San Diego Padres
Pick: Donavan Tate, OF, Cartersville HS (GA)
KG Says: “That’s the highest upside they’ve maybe ever selected. Grady Fuson loved this guy from day one, and unlike the Matt Bush disaster, they actually got the approval to spend the money on the guy they like. MONSTER athlete.”
Quotable: “I slightly prefer Sano because I think there’s a better chance he hits. That said, Tate has the higher ceiling and is two years older, so it’s very close.”—Kiley McDaniel, on who he would prefer between Tate and international phenom Miguel Sano.

According to BBRef
There have only been 3 players drafted from Lee before this year. 2 were by the Padres (Jonathan Kirby was the other). Methinks they like to scout this school more than others. The other team that drafted one was the Indians and Lee University is Cleveland… Tennessee. Weird.

I’m guessing because his dad played for Detroit and Baltimore in the mid 1980s. Maybe Ken Williams knew his dad or just likes the bloodlines?

Unbelievable athlete with speed that rivals anyone in the country…also a smart baserunner, who can steal a bag almost on command…had a tremendous fall, and is one of the club’s most improved all-around players entering the 2009 season…has big-time power, and has all the tools to develop into a very dangerous hitter…can play all three outfield spots, but is a natural center fielder due to his speed…has an above-average arm…has really developed into a baseball player since coming to The Farm, after splitting much of his high school career between the diamond, soccer field, football field and track.
