Drafting a player like Schmidt is enough to get excited about, but Padres fans have learned not to get their hopes up. San Diego has traded away most of their top prospects in favor of MLB-ready talent, leaving their farm system barren.

Ideally, the front office would keep him long enough to see him actually play in a Padres uniform.
