Padres Farm Report (27 Jun 08)

This whole Allan Dykstra thing has me a bit puzzled. I'm glad that the Padres are investigating whether Dykstra's pre-existing medical condition might cause further problems, but I wonder why this is becoming an issue during contract negotiations. Maybe before drafting him would have been a better time to resolve any lingering concerns? With the injury to last year's first-rounder, Nick Schmidt, you'd think the Padres would want to err on the side of extreme caution. I guess they are, but the timing seems a little strange. Here's hoping it all works out okay. Triple-A -- Portland 5, Colorado Springs 4...

Friday Links (25 Apr 08)

Friday, April 25, 2008
by Geoff Young

I'm pressed for time this morning, so links are offered with minimal commentary (and there was much rejoicing): Alan Drooz at the U-T misses Mike Cameron (h/t PM). Clay Hensley's first rehab start went well (h/t Field39). MB at Friar Forecast asks how we know when a player is done. Good question. Amy Nelson at ESPN jumps on the bandwagon and writes about Trevor Hoffman (h/t Coronado Mike). Tom Krasovic at the U-T informs us that Chase Headley was sent ...

Reminder to folks here in San Diego: I'll be on "SportsWrap" this Sunday evening at 11:35 p.m. PT. Tune to NBC 7/39 for your chance to see a real-live baseball dork on television. To the links... Bill Center at the U-T takes a look at roster possibilities. According to this, Glendon Rusch will be in the bullpen and Wil Ledezma (who is out of options) likely will be on the staff in some capacity. In related news, Jim Edmonds is optimistic hopeful he'll be ready for Opening Day. Tom Krasovic at the U-T ...
