The Padres did their usual thing on draft day, and thats pick a bunch of high schoolers that have proven nothing but that they are better than their 18 year old counterparts. I jumped to ESPN to read about their first pick of the draft, the third overall, and noticed another high schooler, followed by this in the commentary: "They're bad at this."
Of course, the Matt Bush signing will be hard to overcome, especially after this weekend when the guy that the Padres could have and should have signed, Jared Weaver, throws a complete game shutout against the Pads.
In the end, the Padres have a new batch of talent, and hopefully some of it pans out. John Coniff over at MadFriars.com got Jim Callis' opinion on the draft and it was better then my initial thoughts, so take a look. Also, from mlb.com we have the final list of all the draft picks in 2009.
By the end of the weekend, the Padres had come to terms with 22 of their picks, as outlined in the Padres official site.
