Reserves have answered the call well thus far, but a re-aggravated hamstring injury in a rehab start by Chris Heisey will have Cincinnati depending on them for a while longer. They’ve added depth with Luis Durango who debuted for Pensacola last night and scored the winning run in the thirteenth inning. http://reds.scout.com/2/1291831.html 2047 John Montgomery http://reds.scout.com/2/1291831.html Wed, 15 May 2013 07:47:00 GMT 1 262 Cincinnati reds The San Diego Padres placed outfielder Brad Hawpe on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 19, with a strained middle finger on his right hand, selected left-handed-pitcher Josh Spence from Double-A San Antonio and recalled catcher Kyle Phillips from Triple-A Tucson. http://padres.scout.com/2/1081374.html 2047 MadFriars.com http://padres.scout.com/2/1081374.html Tue, 21 Jun 2011 20:56:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres TUCSON: Notes and observations from the Tucson-Las Vegas series. http://padres.scout.com/2/1079422.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1079422.html Tue, 14 Jun 2011 01:49:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Former San Diego Padres bench coach and former minor league hitting coordinator Tony Muser went over some of the top prospects in the system with MadFriars.com. http://padres.scout.com/2/1049063.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/1049063.html Thu, 17 Feb 2011 18:22:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres We went over some of the top hitting and pitching prospects from this years’ Pacific League Portland Beavers with Randy Smith to get his impressions on their seasons and what they have been doing in the Instructional Leagues. http://padres.scout.com/2/1036276.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1036276.html Mon, 03 Jan 2011 06:41:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Summary: A lot of moving parts, as usual, for the San Diego Padres Triple-A affiliate, which will move south in 2011. The veterans carried much of the load here while one player met his potential with a big season. http://padres.scout.com/2/1024700.html 2047 Denis Savage/John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/1024700.html Tue, 23 Nov 2010 05:50:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Portland, OR: Luis Durango was signed by the Padres in 2006 out of Panama. He got off to a fast start winning two batting titles in the first two leagues that he played in; the Arizona League in 2006 and the Northwest League in 2007. http://padres.scout.com/2/988648.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/988648.html Tue, 03 Aug 2010 05:46:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Fort Wayne, IN: Dave Roberts’ new duties with the San Diego Padres include mentoring the minor league prospects in aspects of the game that he did well – bunting, stealing bases, moving runners over. We discussed several top prospects with Roberts to get his take on how they need to improve. http://padres.scout.com/2/982583.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/982583.html Thu, 08 Jul 2010 05:51:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Portland, OR: A few notes and observations from our recent trip to the San Diego Padres Triple-A affiliate, the Portland Beavers. http://padres.scout.com/2/980762.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/980762.html Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:36:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Filled with helium, these San Diego Padres prospects are making a quick ascension up the prospect ranks with terrific seasons through the first half. We take a look at several prospects from each level. http://padres.scout.com/2/979429.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/979429.html Wed, 23 Jun 2010 05:30:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Portland had a tough month overall but still found some bright spots. A few started heating up with San Antonio, including one unexpected name. Picking through the madness in Lake Elsinore proved to be challenging. Fort Wayne sees a player reaching his potential, finally. Master sleuth John Conniff solved the mystery of all the successes and failures. http://padres.scout.com/2/974419.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/974419.html Thu, 03 Jun 2010 05:26:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres From 2005 to 2007, Luis Durango led his respective league in hitting. The outfielder entered the 2010 season with a .320 career minor league average. Mike DeMark was moved up to Portland from Double-A and Cory Luebke was added to the San Antonio roster in corresponding moves. http://padres.scout.com/2/972056.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/972056.html Mon, 24 May 2010 02:05:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Synopsis: The Portland squad, as it is most years, is really more of a taxi squad for the San Diego Padres than a prospect laden minor league team, but there is some talent. Lance Zawadzki could become the Padres second baseman in 2011 and pitcher Wade LeBlanc and outfielder Aaron Cunningham, both of whom barely missed qualifying for prospect status, should see time in San Diego during the season. http://padres.scout.com/2/959954.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/959954.html Tue, 06 Apr 2010 04:12:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Perhaps no one in the San Diego Padres system packs as much excitement into their game as Luis Durango. The package is only 165-pounds soaking wet, but Durango has speed that offers game-changing and tantalizing options. http://padres.scout.com/2/954045.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/954045.html Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:08:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Although usually both Denis and John disagree on where certain players should or should not be ranked, this year’s ranking was the least contentious. As we did last year, what follows is a look at a few sleepers within the San Diego Padres system along with a few that we would have ranked higher – if we were alone. http://padres.scout.com/2/951335.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/951335.html Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:28:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres In part I of our look at the San Diego Padres outfield prospects, MadFriars.com looked at those with the highest ceilings and where the jury was still out. Today, we eye those closest to the majors, the sleepers, and those that need to make their move. http://padres.scout.com/2/948494.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/948494.html Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:01:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres When ranking prospects, you have to look both at what a prospect is capable of doing, and what they have already done. The goal of any prospect ranking is not just to organize players by the best numbers, or who has the highest ceiling, but who has the best chance to not only make the majors but become a season vet.

Is Logan Forsythe too passive? What was the story with Cedric Hunter? Was Kellen Kulbacki hurt early on as well? Has Lance Zawadzki turned the corner? Hitting coach Orv Franchuk provided the answers on these San Diego Padres prospects. http://padres.scout.com/2/943948.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/943948.html Thu, 04 Feb 2010 04:33:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres With a growing stable of Latin American prospects in the San Diego Padres system at all levels, international scouting director and new director of player development Randy Smith is enjoying the fruits of his labor, crediting the player development program for bringing out the strengths. We spoke with Smith about many of the bright prospects. http://padres.scout.com/2/939395.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/939395.html Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:40:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres The Missions play in what might be the toughest park to hit in the minors and possibly professional baseball when the strong south Texas wind blows in from left field. In each of the three years that San Antonio has been a part of the Padres’ organization, they have qualified for the playoffs. http://padres.scout.com/2/934673.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/934673.html Mon, 04 Jan 2010 03:28:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres
