You're thinking of late-model Blaw, who was working with an undiagnosed shoulder injury. Earlier models of Blaw worked in the higher 80s with sick movement.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-80204">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Really.

It's great that Geer and Ramos kept their ERAs down, but you just don't see many successful major leaguers who had K/9s in the low 5s as minor leaguers. Lawrence is thought of as a pitch-to-contact guy, but he was striking out 8 per 9 in the minors.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-80193">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 53: Of that rotation, the big upgrade is Inman.

Another soft tosser that doesn't walk many that may benefit in cavernous Petco. Anyone see him pitch last year at Elsinore ? Look at this Missions rotation : 20 year old Will Inman + Wade Leblanc - 23 years old (who has made a good transition to next level)+ Josh Geer (had a great season) and Ramos ! Can one now say that the Padres farm system is bad ? I say it's been upgraded from bad to fair. I say fair because of what we saw at Portland this year which was the tail end of the depression finally exiting.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-80010">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Padres farmhand (AA) 23 year old lefty Cesar Ramos has really had a good year this year (13-8 with a sweet WHIP).

Cesar Ramos, who went 6 strong innings, gets the win. Venable collects 3 hits. Notes : Headley is really slumping and Luis Cruz/W.Venable have been hitting well lately. The key to the Missions late run ? Pitching !!<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-79995">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> San Antonio Missions take a 2 game lead in their Best of 5 series by beating Frisco tonight 6-1.

I agree with you ... question for you ... I heard/read somewhere that pitching Peavy last night puts him in line for the season finale (if necessary) ... does that align with your projection? Doesn't seem to ... 'cause if that were the case then it would seem like Jake would get one more start than CY/GM/JG ...<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-79941">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 46 … I agree with you … question for you … I heard/read somewhere that pitching Peavy last night puts him in line for the season finale (if necessary) … does that align with your projection?
