Padres MiLB July 13, Players of the Day

Ground-rules: you won’t see a too-old-for-his-league non-prospect get an award. The award may not go to the best performance of the previous night, but what I deem the most significant performance of the night…

Minor League Hitter of the Day

Chad Huffman (AA): 3-5, 2B, R
Jose Lobaton (AA): 2-4, 2 2B, R, 2 RBI, SO

Minor League Pitcher of the Day

Simon Castro (SS): 4.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 SO, 0 HR
Will Inman (AA): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO, 0 HR - Futures' Game

Other Commentary

In the 2008 Futures' Game, Will Inman was the only U.S. Futures' pitcher to not allow a hit or a walk.

Castro obviously needs to refine his control – or maybe just find it altogether… But he is definitely a player to watch.
