Hayhurst Takes Off, Eh?

October 7, 2008 – 6:32 am

Right-hander Dirk Hayhurst has been claimed off waivers by the Toronto Blue Jays. Dirk was gracious enough to chat with us not long ago.

The ability to throw left handed and breathe at the same time can make some men very rich…
On a less facetious note, have you noticed how much Kevin Kouzmanoff has improved defensively this year? He’s eighth in the [...]

I still don’t have a photo of Estes, but I do have one of Volquez, whom I saw pitch against the Portland Beavers last summer in Oklahoma City on my way to Cooperstown. If I’d known he’d be [...]

His first name is Aaron.
He shares a birthday with Jerry Morales, a member of the 1969 Padres.
The Mariners selected him with the 11th pick overall in 1991, three picks after the Padres took Joey [...]

Padres Farm Report (4 May 08)

May 4, 2008 – 12:18 am

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 [...]
