Updates on player signings and assignments will be posted here by Steve Adler and Mickey Koke.  Check back often!

The MLB Draft kicks off Monday with the first round and will continue through Wednesday.  We will do out best to provide you coverage of the Padres picks and unique analysis from our own Cheri Bell, Brian Koke and resources throught the web. 

I want to invite you to join us and encourage you to participate in the coverage.

The newest Padre: Karsten Whitson

Karsten Whitson

Karsten Whitson  RHP

6-4 190 lbs     Chipley HS (FL)    DOB:  8/25/91

This year’s draft class is notably strong in pitchers, particularly RHP. Karsten is a prime example of the quality of this draft. With a fastball clocked between 91-96mph,  with good movement, he also has a plus slider from 81-83mph that has a hard, sharp break. His third pitch is an 80-82mph changeup that he is working to improve and is average at this point.

Whitson is tall and lanky, with good control and few walks in his starts. He has a repeatable delivery and is athletic.

He started the season strong but had a late season fade that has concerned scouts but has made a good showing in the All Star competition this month. As a result of this up and down season he has moved up and down in the mock drafts. His current surge could help move him back up to his prominent position in the top 15 picks of the first round.

 

From the Paul Dipodesta Blog

Sometimes you have to take your shot.

Karsten is a 6'4", 215lb right-hander from Chipley, FL with a fastball that runs between 90 and 95 mph. His main secondary pitch is a relatively polished slider that has been unhittable at the amateur level. While he has shown some feel for a changeup, he just hasn't needed to use it much up to this point, but we anticipate that he'll have a solid one going forward. A great competitor, Karsten pitches with an attitude, and I mean that in the best way possible.  Read the entire story here

This one puzzled me a bit with Cabrera available...my only thought is they went with the guy with a closer to major league ready bat as possible.

We got ourselves a bat. Jedd is a junior shortstop from West Virginia University who has done nothing but rake for three years. At 5'10" and 195lbs, Jedd is a strong infielder with right-handed power. This year he had 48 extra base hits in just 236 at-bats while only striking out just 24 times. Furthermore, last summer he hit .326/.386/.488 with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League. A driven, hard-nosed player, Jedd is the type of grinder with the makeup to will himself to the Major Leagues. We were hoping all night that he might still be there when we picked today, as we feel he's one of the more polished bats in the draft.

3rd round the #Padres select Zack Cates - Pitcher, Northeast Texas CC
Quote
 
 
# SD Steve 2010-06-08 10:54

Quote:
We love pleasant surprises! Zach Cates is a newly converted pitcher from Northeast Texas CC. A former catcher, the 6'3", 200lb right-hander has a fastball than runs 90-95 to go along with a nasty changeup. Just 20 years old, this spring was Zach's first full season to concentrate on pitching, and he struck out 92 in just 69 innings. We feel he has the chance to be a starter and should continue to develop as he spends more time on the mound.

Quote:
A junior second baseman from the University of Kentucky (and originally from Ontario), Chris is a player with exciting speed. Combining last summer on the Cape and this spring in the SEC, Chris has stolen 68 bases in 93 games. Wiry strong, he also has some strength and will get his share of extra base hits. Another player with great makeup, he's absolutely driven to succeed. After not playing much as a freshman at Kentucky, he became the first UK player since 2000 to earn back-to-back All SEC honors.

5th Round - Padres select Jablonski Noel - CF from Coastal Carolina #MLBDraft
Quote
 
 
# SD2VA1977 2010-06-08 10:22
Rico is a stud. Saw this guy play against JMU this year. I believe he stole like 51 bases this year. An absolute burner with great range in the OF and a pretty solid arm from what I remember.

# SD2VA1977 2010-06-08 10:23
I think I saw something rating him as a possible 2b somewhere...maybe Baseball America?

Rico?

That is the name he goes by, not Jablonski...at least that's what they called him down in the tourney in SC.

He has wheels like Durango, but he hits line drives, finds the gaps and the line.
I really liked watching this kid.

Sad to see Munson go to ARI...was hoping we might snag him!

Quote:
Bisson is really fast. Noel might be faster. Rico is the CF for Coastal Carolina, and in his past 125 college games, he has stolen 104 bases. That's silly. Possibly more importantly, we think he's the best defensive centerfielder in the entire draft and is a perfect fit for PETCO. A right-handed hitter, Rico is another guy we think has great makeup. With Gyorko, Bisson, and Noel, we have some small strike zones!
