Padres Farm Report (19 Jun 08)

Before we get to the goods, one of our readers was at Monday’s Hall of Fame game (you know, the one between the Padres and Cubs that got rained out) and took some photos, as well as a video of Trevor Hoffman playing catch with one of his sons. Pretty cool… Triple-A — Portland 4, [...]

Padres Farm Report (4 May 08)

Brian Giles should have one more hit to his credit this season. Not that it affected the outcome, but Alfredo Amezaga absolutely didn’t catch Giles’ soft liner in the top of the eighth. Also, what a strange game for Paul McAnulty: hit by a pitch, thrown out trying to advance on a popup to third [...]

League Offensive Levels for Padres Affiliates, 2007

Yesterday we were talking about Rookie-league numbers and reader Didi asked about something I hinted at but didn’t delve into as much as I might have. I wasn’t being coy, so much as I was being… disorganized. In discussing the motivation behind providing comparable players for Padres minor leaguers, I noted that: Cedric Hunter hit [...]

Why I Don’t Trust Rookie-League Numbers
