PADRES SELECT JOHNNY MANZIEL 837TH OVERALL

Johnny Baseball? You never know.

In the 28th round of the MLB draft the Padres selected Johnny Manziel 837th overall. Manziel was drafted by the Browns in the 1st round, 22nd overall to the Browns in the NFL draft. Manziel was a shortstop for his high school, Tivy High. Although Manziel will probably never wear a Padres uniform I enjoyed the pick.

Another notable pick was when the Yankees took Mariano Rivera’s son, Mariano Rivera III a RHP out of Iona with the 872nd pick.
