I think Paddack's double-plus command gives him added stability, and he's already successfully returned from TJ, so it's out of the way for now. Factor in his Petco advantage, and likely amazing whip and it's a pretty drool worthy package. Even though I also loathe pitching prospects. I recall the last batch of Padres future aces didn't really pan out, and they had 4-5 at that time as well. So the Padres have a high SP fail rate, but in a small sample size over recent years.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

I don't remember that fucker I drafted first in my first RJEL minors draft but he didn't go anywhere either.
