Commentary

Canham is hitting .500 on the season – I know it’s early, but wow. Unfortunately, he allowed 4 stolen bases Thursday night to go with his stellar hitting.

I like Luebke. And while I won’t say Schmidt is the guy I wanted the Padres draft in the first round last year, I like him too. I think both lefties are legitimate MLB starting prospects.

In case you weren’t paying attention, Fort Wayne is 7-0. If you’re in the Midwest and like the Padres, get out to see this team. They’re LOADED!
