Noonan's contract was selected by the Padres on Wednesday.

A 27-year-old journeyman minor leaguer with just 135 career plate appearances in the majors, Noonan was hitting .321/.353/.445 with four home runs in 335 plate appearances for Triple-A El Paso prior to the promotion. He will take the place of Jose Rondon and could earn somewhat regular playing time at shortstop, considering the Padres seem to have soured on Alexei Ramirez.
