Report on Ben Howard, Ideas for Future Articles

Fri, Jul 13, 2001Ballhype: hype it up!
by Geoff Young

A report on Ben Howard has been posted. Kind of lost in the shuffle with all the good young arms in the Padres organization, but still someone to watch.

I’m calling the column “Future Friars” now. I’ve been thinking about going to that title for a while, and now seemed as good a time as any to make the change.

A couple ideas for future articles:

  1. Top 15-20 Padres prospects. I’m not a big fan of making such lists, but people are curious and it gets me thinking about why I like certain players over others. I’ll probably do this sometime next week, before I run more Future Friars reports.
  2. Trades that brought current Padres here. Yeah, everybody knows about Andy Sheets for Phil Nevin, but Donne Wall for Bubba Trammell is looking pretty good right now. Scott Sanders for Sterling Hitchcock. Andy Ashby for Adam Eaton. You get the idea.

Got any ideas of your own? Drop me a line.
