Padres MiLB July 28, 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…

Other Commentary

Juan Herrera? Yeah, I have no idea either… Going into tonight the seventeen year old had a 6.95 ERA in 22 innings with a 28/17 BB/SO ratio (yes, that is the correct order)… Prospect? Who knows, but that’s an impressive game.
