With Fernando Tatis, Nick Margevicius, and Chris Paddack all breaking camp with the big club in opening day the Padres certainly bucked the trend of suppressing service time on major league ready talent. A refreshing approach in the current environment. Later today righthander Chris Paddack will make his major league debut at home versus the San Francisco Giants. Over the last four years Paddack has experienced the highs and lows of the road to the show. Selected by the Marlins in the 8th round of the 2015 draft, Paddack impressed in his professional debut and followed it up with a standout performance early in 2016. On the last day of June the Marlins, with designs on a playoff run, traded Paddack to San Diego for Fernando Rodney. The righthander made three starts for the Padres before sustaining an elbow injury that required Tommy John Surgery. After sitting on the shelf for more than year Paddack pushed his way across high A and AA, arriving in camp determined to skip AAA and the PCL altogether as a member of the Padres rotation. The Texan stubbornness paid off, as the goal came to fruition, in fact the moment was captured beautifully in the below tweet.
