It was just one game in the rookie-level Arizona League. One quick look at a group consisting mainly of recent call-ups from the Dominican Summer League and recent 2018 draft picks. However, it was yet another glimpse into the fun and exciting types of players that fill the San Diego Padres minor leagues.
Right after the draft, I highlighted five players who I thought were the big names to keep an eye on. Two of those names, Xavier Edwards and Jawuan Edwards, made their professional debuts last night in the Arizona League.
There were concerns about the signability of Xavier Edwards coming out of the draft.
