Padres Farm Report (26 Jun 08)

Thursday, June 26, 2008
by Geoff Young
I've got a new article up at Hardball Times on everyone's favorite first baseman from Eastlake High... Triple-A No games scheduled in the Pacific Coast League.

The game took place at Hammons Field in Springfield, which I visited on my way back from Cooperstown last summer. That was the day before my car got smashed. Good times... High-A No games scheduled in the California League. Low-A -- Fort Wayne 8, West Michigan 0...

Padres Acquire Edmonds

Saturday, December 15, 2007
by Geoff Young
