Padres Farm Report (17 Apr 08)
Thu, Apr 17, 2008by Geoff Young
Triple-A — Portland 5, Colorado Springs 1
Oscar Robles (2B): 1-for-5
Edgar Gonzalez (RF): 0-for-2, 2 BB
Chase Headley: 1-for-4, BB
Brian Myrow: 3-for-4, 2B, BB
Chip Ambres (CF): 0-for-3, BB
Craig Stansberry: 0-for-4, BB
Luis Rodriguez: 1-for-3, BB
Will Venable: 1-for-1, 2B (didn’t start)
Shawn Estes: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 7 SO, 2 HBP
Cesar Ramos: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 7 SO
Paul Abraham: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 0 BB, 2 SO
Jared Wells: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 1 SO
Myrow really needs to be on a big-league team’s bench. Rodriguez’s batting average has slipped all the way to .500. Seven strikeouts for Ramos? He’s not supposed to do that.

Double-A
Day off for the Texas League
High-A — High Desert 6, Lake Elsinore 5
Javis Diaz (CF): 1-for-5
Robert Perry (LF): 0-for-3, 3 BB
Eric Sogard: 1-for-3, 3 BB
Drew Miller: 4.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 HR, 1 BB, 3 SO, HBP
Ernesto Frieri: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO
The Storm collected 11 hits and drew 11 walks, but left 15 runners on base. That makes for a long night in Adelanto.
Low-A — Wisconsin 6, Fort Wayne 2
Luis Durango: 0-for-4
Bradley Chalk: 0-for-4, E
Andrew Cumberland (SS): 1-for-4, 2B, E
Yefri Carvajal: 0-for-4
Felix Carrasco: 0-for-3
Jeremy Hefner: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 7 SO
Bizarre line for Hefner. On the rare occasion that batters made contact, they pretty much destroyed him.

What’s with Ramos trying to look like a real prospect?
April 17, 2008 at 12:39 am
I guess he had a K/9 over 7 last April with San Antonio, though it fell off as the year went on.

I could see KT trading Myrow for some AA relief pitcher who will become the padres 7th inning guy and be dominate down the stretch. Although he could not work his magic over this last off season.

Myrow won the PCL Batting Title last year if memory serves me.

#3@Steve C: As we’ve seen from ‘96-’97, a bullpen can turn from rock-solid to flabby in one offseason with largely the same personnel.

#5@Eric: I was more referring to Rusch and Gonzalez I think Bell just needs some rest and Buddy needs to stop pitching Meredith for more than one inning and the pen will be ok.
