Padres MiLB, September 10-14, Players of the Day; Playoffs!

Playoffs!

People, sorry I haven’t posted in a few days. I have been real busy with work and parenting (wife was out of town).

Thursday, September 10, 2009

Hitter(s) of the Day

Dan Robertson (Low-A): 2-4, 2B, 2 R, BB, SO

Vince Belnome (Low-A): 2-5, HR, 2 R, RBI, SO

Cole Figueroa (Low-A): 2-3, HR, R, 2 RBI, 2 BB

Pitcher(s) of the Day

Wynn Pelzer (High-A): 7.0 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 7 SO, 0 HR

Will Inman (AA): 6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR

Evan Scribner (AA): 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

I am certain we will see Evan Scribner in big league uniform at some point. That said, Pelzer and Inman have higher upsides. It is good to see productivity in playoff situations from all three hurlers.

Hitter of the Day

Eric Sogard (AA): 3-5, R, 2 RBI, SO

Cedric Hunter (AA): 3-5, 2B, 3 RBI

Pitcher of the Day

n/a

Commentary

Eric Sogard’s numbers took a hit this season (in an extreme pitchers’ park) but he still hit .293/.370/.400 with more walks than strikeouts (road: .320/.406/.436, home: .267/.335/.366).

Dan Robertson (Low-A): 2-6, 2B, R, RBI, SO

Jaff Decker (Low-A): 2-5, HR, 3 R, 2 RBI, 2 SO

Good to see Decker with a big game for the playoff TinCaps.

Sunday, September 13, 2009

Hitter of the Day

Vince Belnome (Low-A): 2-4, 2B, 2 R

Allan Dykstra (Low-A): 2-4, 2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI

Pitcher(s) of the Day

Stiven Osuna (Low-A): 4.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR

Commentary

Dykstra came on strong to end the season. It will be interesting to see if he reverts to his ugly 75% of season numbers or if he builds on his fantastic final month.

Castro is a stud (Midwest League strikeout king).

Wynn Pelzer (High-A): 7.0 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

There are three of the top minor league pitchers in the organization. Others deserve to be in the discussion (Poreda, Bass, Luebke, Portillo, Sampson, and Sullivan deserve to be in the discussion).

Saturday, September 05, 2009

Hitter of the Day

Nathan Freiman (SS): 2-5, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, SO  

Pitcher of the Day

Erik Davis (Low-A): 5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

How awesome is it, that these two players are as good as they are and they will be outside the top organizational top 25.

Brandon Gomes (AA): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

Where do you rank Chris Fetter? He has pitched in short-season Eugene and Low-A Fort Wayne and has a combined 1.66 ERA. He throws in the low-90’s (legit but not “write home” velocity) and he’s taller and thus pitches at that downward plane that pitching experts love… On the other hand, he’s older (turns 24 this December) and will have to move through the system quickly. The system has gotten a lot deeper this year (with the addition of 2009 draftees, and development of 2008 draftees and 2008 international free agent acquisitions, and trade booty). Last year I rated Anthony Bass 23. I would argue that Fetter is comparable this year to Anthony Bass last year but because of increased depth, Fetter will not rank that high…

Brandon Gomes (AA): 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

So one night after I talk about Huffman, he brings his OPS up an additional 16 points. Doing that in the last week of the season is impressive.

About this time last year, we were suggesting that the “throw in” in the Scott Linebrink trade, Steve Garrison, was the top prospect of the bunch (traded with Will Inman and Joe Thatcher). Then with just a few games left in the season, we learned that he had a shoulder injury. Wednesday night he returned all the way to Double-A. Garrison has been pitching (20.1 innings in the AZL and 7.2 innings in the CAL) and has been better than I would have expected (combined Rookie, High-A, and AA stats):

1-0 with 4.36 ERA in 33.0 IP allowed 31 H and 1 HR and an 8/32 BB/SO ratio

Pitcher(s) of the Day

Chris Fetter (Low-A): 4.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 SO, 0 HR – back in Ft. Wayne

Will Inman (AA): 7.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

Nathan Freiman is coming along nicely, after a slow start (.633 OPS in June & .775 OPS in July) Nate has an .810+ OPS in his professional debut. What is really interesting however is that the big right-hander has struggled against left-handed pitching (.207/.281/.293).

Chris Fetter now has a combined 1.80 ERA over 60 innings between Eugene and Fort Wayne.

Allan Dykstra hit .319/.432/.505 in August.

Craig Italiano (High-A): 2.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

Jerry Sullivan has been up and down since beginning his pro career… On the good side of the ledger: 53 strikeouts in 46.2 innings and .220 BAA… On the bad side: 5 HR and 23 walks. You cannot walk hitters and give up a lot of home runs and expect to succeed.

How about the combined night Bass and Italiano had?

Commentary

Two gems to start Reyes’ professional career…

Simon Castro had two disaster starts in August (4 ER in 3 IP on 8/8 and 6 ER in 5 IP on 8/13) and even so, in his last 10 starts he has a 3.20 ERA. Is Castro the Padres best non-Latos pitching prospect?

Cory Luebke (AA): 6.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR

Commentary

After some success in Short Season A-ball, the Padres needed some innings eaten up in Low-A, so they temporarily promoted Chris Fetter. Chris is back in Short-Season A-ball now. This is his combined stat line:

3-1 with a 2.09 ERA in 51.2 IP with 41 H and 0 HR allowed and a 13/64 BB/SO ratio

Might the Padres have found another Anthony Bass? Fetter is a lot taller but like Bass, throws in the low-90’s.

n/a

Commentary

Allan Dystra does not have good overall numbers (.204/.385/.339) but there are encouraging signs:

  1. He has a 41% XBH rate
  2. He has 87 walks (which is good but vs. 83 strikeouts, which is worrisome)
  3. Despite a terrible batting average, he has a more than respectable .385 OBP

I’m not saying he deserves top prospect status, but nor does he deserve to be dismissed.

How does a guy (Luis Durango) get on base 4 times and in a game where his team scores 14, he only scores 1 run (by the way, the team grounded into zero double-plays)?  

Matt! Welcome back! We need to see more of you…

Cory Luebke (AA): 5.0 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR

Commentary

Steve Garrison is a bit of a forgotten Padre starting pitching prospect but in 2008 he posted a 3.82 ERA in 129 innings in Double-A as a 21 year old. He will turn 23 this September. He is not an uber-prospect, but he is a prospect. I suspect that he will be back in AA in 2010.

Sawyer Carroll is shooting up through the system…

Jaff Decker hit his 12th HR Friday evening. Decker is now hitting: .290/.441/.525. He is 2nd in OPS (you could even say he leads in OPS – James Darnell, now in the CAL League is the only player listed ahead of Jaff), 7th in HR, and 3rd in walks (behind teammate Allan Dykstra and Darnell).

Commentary

If you aren’t stoked about the future of the Padres, you aren’t paying attention. Geoff Young and I drove to Lake Elsinore Saturday and watched the Storm play. On the way home we discussed what players would be manning all 8 starting fielding positions, 5 starting pitchers, and a closer for the 2013 Padres (we allowed any player in the organization – as well un-signed draftees). You can go at least 2-deep at every position (except pitchers) and have what looks to be a solid club. Obviously they are not all going to pan out, but nor are they all going to flame out. I’ll post mine tomorrow… What’s your 2013 Padres lineup look like?

Mat Latos looked good. He wasn’t effiecient, but what 21 year old is in his Major League debut? The Padres are obviously working to limit his innings (less than 80 pitches in 4 innings).
