For the second night in a row, starters at each level turned in impressive performances with Frank Garces leading the way in Elsinore. http://padres.scout.com/2/1281222.html 2047 David Jay http://padres.scout.com/2/1281222.html Sat, 06 Apr 2013 12:17:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres As will be the story for much of this season three very good pitching performances by Donn Roach, Matt Wisler and Joe Ross. Offensively Tommy Medica picks up where he left off in San Antonio. http://padres.scout.com/2/1280978.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1280978.html Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:53:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres PEORIA, AZ: Jace Peterson, 22, was a supplemental first round pick by the Padres in the 2011 draft. Peterson, a multi-sport athlete at McNeese State, starred on the football team as a defensive back and on the baseball team at shortstop which was kind of break for him after playing four sports in high school, where he was all-state in three. http://padres.scout.com/2/1278921.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1278921.html Fri, 29 Mar 2013 02:02:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Despite pitching problems on the major league level the Padres’ lower level pitching continues to impress. http://padres.scout.com/2/1277964.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1277964.html Tue, 26 Mar 2013 00:12:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Baseball America’s Matt Eddy has been ranking the top Padres’ prospects since 2007 when he took over for Kevin Goldstein, who is now the Director of Pro Scouting for the Houston Astros. http://padres.scout.com/2/1261713.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1261713.html Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:50:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Top prospect lists are fun to read and always among the most popular articles on the site. However, as has been stated in the past, they are not an apples-to-apples comparison but more of a grouping of some of the top players in the organization. http://padres.scout.com/2/1239299.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1239299.html Tue, 13 Nov 2012 02:45:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres We caught up with Randy Smith, the Padres’ Director of Player Development and International Scouting from his headquarters in Peoria, Arizona for the fourth segment of our six part interview on the top prospects in the system. http://padres.scout.com/2/1227708.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1227708.html Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:07:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Summary: The Storm had a decent year, making the playoffs while finishing just two games under .500 then losing to the Lancaster JetHawks in the first round. While many of the high profile prospects struggled, lower draft picks such as Tommy Medica and Casey McElroy had breakout seasons. http://padres.scout.com/2/1226955.html 2047 MadFriars Staff http://padres.scout.com/2/1226955.html Tue, 02 Oct 2012 01:13:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Both San Antonio and Lake Elsinore get pounded.

The good news is they scored 23 runs, yes, twenty-three runs to offset it. In Tucson Matt Clark has a big grand-slam and Eugene’s pitching finally gets hit. http://padres.scout.com/2/1208528.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1208528.html Sun, 05 Aug 2012 06:56:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Scouting reports are the foundation of the talent evaluation system, and clubs don't stop scouting players once they enter the pros.

The Storm continue to be the best team in the system and Matt Wisler may be the best pitcher in Fort Wayne this season. http://padres.scout.com/2/1195481.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1195481.html Sat, 16 Jun 2012 13:28:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Matt Clark and Rymer Liriano had major bounced back in a big way in May. Lee Orr proved a lot of people wrong in Fort Wayne but May belonged to San Antonio's recently departed Music Man who took his act to Tucson. http://padres.scout.com/2/1192444.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1192444.html Wed, 06 Jun 2012 03:27:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres A clean sweep on the negative side as all four Padres’ farm teams went down last night with particularly tough days for the Storm and TinCaps. On the positive side Cody Decker hit his first home run in the Pacific Coast League and Yasmani Grandal continues to rake. Also Jaff Decker is getting closer in San Antonio but is still under .200. http://padres.scout.com/2/1189803.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1189803.html Sun, 27 May 2012 13:39:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres In Tucson RHP Jorge Reyes pitched another strong outing as the T-Padres offense continues to produce despite losing players to the big club. San Antonio was whitewashed, the Storm lose in sixteen and Fort Wayne's Adys Portillo has a rough outing. http://padres.scout.com/2/1187979.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1187979.html Sun, 20 May 2012 13:19:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Tucson blows a late lead, Nate Freiman and Cody Decker keep on mashing, Elsinore uses a balanced small-ball attack for the win and in Ft. Wayne, Matt Stites turns out to be human. http://padres.scout.com/2/1186253.html 2047 David Jay http://padres.scout.com/2/1186253.html Mon, 14 May 2012 11:29:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres A pair of doubleheaders, one turned out really well and the other didn’t. In San Antonio Cody Decker and Nate Freiman are now the league leaders in home runs for the Texas League. Although the Storm lost Corey Spangenberg, he is now hitting over .303 after starting off the month at .240. Matt Clark is really starting to heat up for the T-Padres after a rough April. http://padres.scout.com/2/1185920.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1185920.html Sat, 12 May 2012 13:25:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres
