Commentary

It is unlikely that any of the “big 3” (Donovan Tate, Everett Williams, and Keyvius Sampson) will sign early enough to get meaningful at-bats or innings in 2009, but that doesn’t mean that Eugene and/or the AZL Padres are devoid of intriguing talent…

In Arizona the Padres have Jonathan Galvez, Rymer Liriano, Jorge Minyeti, and the prize international signee from 2008, Adys Portillo (others will emerge but those are the four that I am particularly interested in).

In Eugene I am particularly interested in pitchers Jose De Paula and Pedro Hernandez as well as catcher Emmanuel Quiles and 3B Edinson Rincon. Additionally, I suspect the Padres will sign Jerry Sullivan and have him report to Eugene within the next 2-3 weeks.
