I keep expecting to see that Barfield has started to draw walks and/or hit for power... Maybe one day.

John Sickels posted this comment on his blog (www.minorleagueball.com) on Tuesday …

OF Paul McAnulty at Double-A Mobile in the San Diego system. Hitting .300/.372/.490 with 10 homers, 26 walks, and 57 strikeouts in 66 games, 253 at-bats. McAnulty is the opposite of guys like Dukes or Francoeur. He isn’t a great athlete, was just a 12th-round pick (out of Long Beach State in 2002), and is already 24 years old. But he hit well in A-ball, and has made a successful transition to Double-A this year. His walk rate is down compared to what he did in the low minors (he drew 88 walks last year but is on course for just over half that this year). Isolated Discipline is .072, compared to .107 last year. But Mobile isn’t an easy place to hit, so overall I think the Padres have to be pleased. His defensive limitations and lack of speed are a limiting factor in his ability to get playing time, but I can see him becoming a successful “have bat, will travel” guy.

Houlton at least is alright, Dessens tomorrow during the day should be BP in my opinion. I just don't want to see Sweeney start again, or at least batting somewhere other than 5th.

Let this one get away. We have no business losing tomorrow. But this game has left a foul taste in my mouth.

Losing to that Dodger line-up (without Kent for more than half the game) and a Rule 5 pitcher is more than a little disappointing.

I'm gonna remind Towers Fri night. Game over. Dodgers still suck. Catch you boys later.

Was Klesko's SB a good idea? Did it take bat out of Giles' hand?
