Blengino’s Thoughts on the Padres Organization
Tue, Dec 4, 2001

Picked up Tony Blengino’s Future Stars book the other day. Good stuff, as always. I’m preparing my own Top 30 Padres prospects, and in looking at what Blengino has to say about the organization, I was surprised to see him rank Ben Johnson as the second best prospect behind Sean Burroughs. No doubt he’s very talented but he’s still pretty raw. I’ve got him somewhere in the bottom half of the top 10. I also can’t make up my mind between Jake Peavy and Dennis Tankersley but right now I’m leaning toward Peavy because he’s got an easier delivery and he’s younger. I’ll probably change my mind a few more times before I make my list public.
Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.
