    Setting aside that the Padres brought in some top tier talent two days ago, I can’t help but wonder if this system of bringing in foreign players is good for baseball. Conventional wisdom would suggest that huge market teams will continue to dominate in Latin America and elsewhere, as teams like the Yankees and Mets traditionally have. We don’t auction off our amateur ballplayers in North America (including Mexico?), so why do we do it everywhere else?

    San Diego catcher Michael Barrett will require surgery for facial fractures and may be out six weeks.

    The Padres placed Barrett on the 15-day disabled list on Friday and purchased the contract of catcher Nick Hundley from Triple-A Portland. The 24-year-old Hundley was scheduled to make his major league debut on Friday night at Arizona.

    Way for Headley to preserve the shutout.

    Colorado and Florida are playing an old-school Coors Field game: 17-16 in the top the 8th.

    My mistake: It was Adams who gave up the run. Baek pitched six innings of shutout ball on 94 pitches.

    #13@Kevin: It was Adams that was in - Harriston hit for Baek in the top of the seventh.

    Bell’s going to need to get five outs tonight

    3-4-5 (Hudson, Jackson and Bonifacio) in the bottom of the ninth for Trevor.

    #20@Kevin: Of course, counting that game, the team has only four wins total since then. So maybe that stat is not that incredible.
