Other Commentary

James Darnell has quickly become a Padre-fan favorite. Most Padre organizational fans were surprised when he showed up in Low-A rather than High-A. He’s just getting started…

In case you don’t remember, Michael Watt is one of the pitchers we got from the Dodgers for Greg Maddux. If I remember the scouting report correctly, he throws a low-90’s FB. I don’t remember much beyond that but obviously he was quite successful out of the ‘pen Tuesday night.
