2nd round pick signed

From Keith Law (4:05 p.m. ET): The Padres signed second rounder Everett Williams for $775,000. The outfielder was under consideration in the first round by a number of teams but slid primarily due to a deep crop of similar high school outfielders and concerns about his bonus demands that, in hindsight, were probably unfounded. Williams projects as a top-of-the-order hitter who can play a solid centerfield; he's short but strong with a runningback's build and adds some needed athleticism to the Padres' thin system, as their drafts have been heavy on polished college players in recent years. Williams was committed to play for the University of Texas.

Who gets the boot when Edmonds comes off the DL?

Gerut, McAnulty or Crabbe?

I think Crabbe stays b/c he is rule 5 and he can play infield.

Maybe we should try to trade P-Mac if he has any trade value.
