Padres Farm Report (19 May 08)

Monday, May 19, 2008
by Geoff Young

For the draft hounds among you, Baseball America has released its first mock draft. It has the Padres taking Arizona State first baseman Ike Davis at #23... because if there's one organizational weakness, it's at first base. Sigh. Nothing against Davis, but I hope this is very, very wrong. Triple-A -- Portland 11, Las Vegas 2 Craig Stansberry (SS): 1-for-6 Chase Headley: 3-for-4, 2B, HR, BB, HBP Brian Myrow: 2-for-4, 2 2B, BB Nick Hundley: 3-for-4, 2 2B, BB Will Venable: 2-for-5 Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4, BB Josh Geer: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 HR, 4 BB, 2 SO, 1-for-4, 2B Carlos Guevara: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 1 SO (8 pitches, 7 strikes) Mauro Zarate: ...

Triple-A -- Las Vegas 10, Portland 3 Craig Stansberry (SS): 1-for-3, SF Chase Headley: 0-for-4 Brian Myrow: 2-for-4 Chip Ambres: 1-for-4, SB Will Venable: 1-for-4 Matt Antonelli: 2-for-4 Wade LeBlanc: 2.1 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 1 SO Dirk Hayhurst: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 HR, 1 BB, 4 SO Paul Abraham: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 3 SO, WP Joe Thatcher: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 2 SO, WP LeBlanc's last five starts have been disastrous. His totals over that stretch: 18.2 IP, 35 H, 12 BB, 9 SO, 13.50 ERA... Rare poor outing for Hayhurst... Remember when we projected 58 innings of 2.86 ERA for Thatcher this year? Yeah, those were ...

Padres Farm Report (15 May 08)

Thursday, May 15, 2008
by Geoff Young

Triple-A No games scheduled in the Pacific Coast League. After a slow start, Chase Headley has picked things up a bit. He hit .242/.317/.396 in April, but is at .358/.424/.528 so far in May. The Padres' other top prospect at Portland, Matt Antonelli, is headed in the opposite direction. He's batting .146/.294/.220 this month... Starting pitching has been awful: Wade LeBlanc (8.35 ERA, 6.96 K/9, .333 BAA), Cesar Ramos (7.36 ERA, 8.59 K/9, .316 BAA), and Josh Geer (5.09 ERA, 5.28 K/9, .283 BAA) have combined to allow 19 home runs in just 107 2/3 innings. Ramos' strikeout rate is nice (and way above his career average), but he still can't get hitters out on a consistent basis... That the Beavers are 17-18 despite a team 6.05 ERA ...

Triple-A Portland at Iowa, postponed due to rain. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday, with the first game featuring Wade LeBlanc and Rich Hill, a guy I wouldn't mind seeing in San Diego if the Cubs have no use for him... Infielder Tom King has been promoted from High-A Lake Elsinore. Double-A -- San Antonio 5, Midland 0 Drew Macias: 2-for-3, 2 BB Craig Cooper (DH): 0-for-3, BB Chad Huffman: 1-for-2, 2 BB Kyle Blanks: 2-for-4 Jose Lobaton: 2-for-4, HR Will Inman: 5.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 3 BB, 7 SO Neil Jamison: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO Another strong performance from Inman. His control is a little off (3.79 BB/9), but when you're striking out a batter an ...
