Additionally the club has recalled left-handed pitcher Joe Thatcher from Triple-A Portland, optioned right-handed pitcher Edwin Moreno to Portland, selected right-handed pitcher Greg Burke from Portland and requested waivers for the purpose of unconditional release on right-handed pitcher Duaner Sanchez. http://padres.scout.com/2/865318.html 2047 MadFriars.com http://padres.scout.com/2/865318.html Fri, 15 May 2009 23:09:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Walter Silva had a solid rehab start and the bullpen closed the door. Ernesto Frieri had another strong outing and Cedric Hunter seems to be breaking out. Allen Harrington is hammered in two-thirds while Luis Martinez’ bat has come alive. Jaff Decker continues to reach base at a solid clip but his homaer is the only run until the ninth. http://padres.scout.com/2/864016.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/864016.html Mon, 11 May 2009 03:04:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Walter Silva is back but the bullpen is the story with Gabe DeHoyos and Greg Burke starring. Mike Baxter, Cedric Hunter and Luis Durango pushed San Antonio to victory. Lance Zawadzki hits his seventh homer and Wynn Pelzer wins his fourth straight. Jaff Decker hits out of the leadoff spot while Stiven Osuna has his worst start ever. http://padres.scout.com/2/862968.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/862968.html Wed, 06 May 2009 05:24:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Not surprisingly, the Fort Wayne TinCaps paced the organization in team ERA. They registered four shutouts during the month of April en route to a 15-5 start. San Antonio had the fewest amount of walks issued but also had the lowest strikeout totals. But who took the individual awards for April? Take a look inside... http://padres.scout.com/2/862325.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/862325.html Mon, 04 May 2009 01:43:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Greg Burke has been money in the closer role and Joe Thatcher is stellar as the bridge. Luis Durango breaks a tie in the eighth with a bases loaded single. Yefri Carvajal and Logan Forsythe are two of the three that homered in Cha Seung Baek’s rehab start. Robert Lara breaks a 3-3 tie with a double clearing the bags but a fine Simon Castro outing is wasted. http://padres.scout.com/2/861171.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/861171.html Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:29:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Stephen Faris twirled magic on Monday, stifling the opposition over six no-hit innings. “I think I shook Mitch (Canham) off two or three times,” Faris said. Josh Alley provides a game-tying single and has been clutch in a pinch. Jeremy Hefner struggles some, and the Storm offense is quiet. http://padres.scout.com/2/858456.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/858456.html Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:50:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Greg Burke blows a save but Portland comes through in the 10th. Will Inman didn’t make it out of the fifth in a San Antonio loss. Dylan Axelrod sees something rare based on a year ago - three inherited runners score while he is on the mound. Nick Schmidt returns to the hill and Erik Davis is impressive in relief. http://padres.scout.com/2/855568.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/855568.html Sat, 11 Apr 2009 05:51:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Synopsis: There will be many familiar faces, especially on the mound, and one very big new one in Kyle Blanks. Look for rebound years from Matt Antonelli and Chad Huffman as the 2009 Portland team could be pretty good. However with the current state of the parent club many of these guys won’t be here for long. http://padres.scout.com/2/854988.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/854988.html Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:03:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Control is nothing without command. You can throw strikes but are the quality strikes. Can you twirl the ball with the precision of Greg Maddux? These San Diego Padres prospect do their best impression. http://padres.scout.com/2/849977.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/849977.html Tue, 24 Mar 2009 03:58:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres A pitch that moves both laterally and down provides varying angles and changing eye levels to a batter. Being able to throw it for a strike and bury it in the dirt, ala Jake Peavy, with the same motion as a fastball can be deadly. These San Diego Padres prospects are hoping to slide their way to the top. http://padres.scout.com/2/843543.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/843543.html Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:29:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres Steve Webber was in charge of some of the top pitchers in the San Diego Padres farm system at Double-A, including Manny Ayala, Greg Burke, Matt Buschmann, Gabe DeHoyos, Mike DeMark, and Mike Ekstrom. http://padres.scout.com/2/842116.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/842116.html Wed, 25 Feb 2009 06:33:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres A journeyman role that could fill multiple spots in a minor league system is valuable but not prospect-worthy. Greg Burke was that – prior to the 2008 season. The right-hander did a 180 en route to a successful campaign and rise in the San Diego Padres prospect chain. http://padres.scout.com/2/840774.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/840774.html Fri, 20 Feb 2009 05:20:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Relievers who throw gas are coveted across the baseball landscape. Being able to spot the pitch while keeping hitters on their toes by moving it around is wanted everywhere. These San Diego Padres relief prospects have the goods. http://padres.scout.com/2/838956.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/838956.html Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:51:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres San Diego Padres pitching coordinator Mike Couchee goes up and down the system to aid prospects. We caught up with him to discuss Cesar Carrillo, Simon Castro, Jeremy McBryde, Cory Luebke, Matt Buschmann, Josh Geer, Bryan Oland, Greg Burke, Mike Ekstrom, as well as Couchee’s surprises and disappointments for the 2008 season. http://padres.scout.com/2/838701.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/838701.html Thu, 12 Feb 2009 05:23:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres If any minor league park is close to what future Padres will experience at PETCO Park, it’s Nelson Wolff Stadium in San Antonio. With the strong winds coming out of left field it may even be a tougher place to hit than San Diego. Because of this, frequently hitters’ numbers are deflated while pitchers can sometimes appear to be better than they are. http://padres.scout.com/2/832469.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/832469.html Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:09:00 GMT 0 315 San Diego padres Double-A may have held the most promising pitching staff of all the San Diego Padres affiliates. Bill Masse led the squad in 2008 and talks about pitchers Manny Ayala, Greg Burke, Matt Buschmann, Gabe DeHoyos, Mike Ekstrom, Jon Ellis, Stephen Faris, Steve Garrison, and Will Inman. http://padres.scout.com/2/825641.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/825641.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 07:49:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres When ranking prospects, there is a certain amount of disagreement on the concept of "value". Even though Denis and I tend to agree far more than we disagree, we each have slightly different concepts of value. Denis believes players that have higher ceilings, or greater potential, are more valuable than someone who may turn out to be an average or good major league player. http://padres.scout.com/2/813368.html 2047 John Conniff http://padres.scout.com/2/813368.html Wed, 19 Nov 2008 06:17:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres MadFriars.com annually ranks the top 60 San Diego Padres Prospects, and the best news is it gets harder and harder to do every season. That is a credit to the strengthening of the farm by the San Diego Padres’ front office and development staff. http://padres.scout.com/2/810783.html 2047 Denis Savage http://padres.scout.com/2/810783.html Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:31:00 GMT 1 315 San Diego padres
