Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is having himself quite an offseason. On Saturday, the San Diego Padres selected Manziel 837th overall (he’s listed as a shortstop). Something tells me he won’t end up in a Padres uniform, but it’s a nice publicity stunt. I guess he made quite an impression with that first pitch he threw out for them in 2013.
