Lemmerman was selected by the Padres in the minor league portion of Thursday's Rule 5 Draft, the
team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
San Diego plucked Lemmerman off the Cardinals' Double-A affiliate, Springfield, where the shortstop prospect slashed an underwhelming .231/.353/.367 with eight homers, 36 RBI, 46 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases in 308 at-bats last season. He'll likely land at Double-A San Antonio and supply organizational depth in the middle infield.
