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 ...

In other news, Shawn Estes will be summoned from Portland to replace the injured Kevin Cameron (elbow). This is the ...
