D’Angelo Jimenez and Ramon Vazquez

by Geoff Young on Apr 11, 2002 (Comments Off) Comments

A sweep of the defending world champs is always a nice way to kick off the first homestand of the season. Brett Tomko pitched reasonably well but didn’t get the win in the 2-1 contest. He worked with an 89-93 MPH fastball, 82-85 MPH breaking pitch, and occasional change-up. Tomko mixed his pitches well and [...]

Padres Farm Report (6 Apr 2002)

Repeat after me: Do not pitch to Barry Bonds with the game on the line. Oh well, at least Brett Tomko looked good in his Padre debut. On to the minor-league highlights… Triple-A Portland Catcher Adan Amezcua fell a triple short of the cycle in four at-bats in a 10-4 victory at Salt Lake. Leadoff [...]

The final installment of the Padres Top 30 Prospects has been posted. If it isn’t too gauche to comment on one’s own commentary, I’d like to make a few observations. Despite the presence of some outstanding young talent, Sean Burroughs was an absolute no-brainer for #1. There are a lot of people who don’t believe [...]

Happy Holidays

I meant to post this earlier, but I’m one of those people who doesn’t start Christmas shopping until December 22. Needless to say, it’s been a hectic week. This is probably my last entry for the year, so happy holidays to all. And be sure to come back and visit in January, when I’ll begin [...]

Padres Trade Ben Davis

by Geoff Young on Dec 12, 2001 (Comments Off) Comments

As you probably know by now, the Padres have traded Ben Davis, Wascar Serrano, and Alex Arias to the Seattle Mariners for Brett Tomko, Ramon Vazquez, Tom Lampkin, and $1 million. My gut reaction on seeing this was close to horror. I still believe Davis is going to be a Mike Lieberthal type offensive player [...]
