Padres April 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 Pitcher of the Day

Other Commentary

In 5 games, Eric Sogard has 5 XBHs, 6 walks, and only 2 strikeouts. He’s not going to maintain his Bondsian 1.472 OPS but don’t forget he led the entire Padre organization (including Adrian Gonzalez) in XBH when the minor league season ended last year.
