Inman was beyond solid, pitching 8 scoreless – but with only 1 strikeout, I could not, in good conscious, categorize his performance as a “Pitcher of the Day” performance.

Commentary

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, James Darnell is the sexier prospect because his superior power, but don’t forget, when the Padres had to decide which player to go to High-A and which to go to Low-A, they sent Forsythe to High-A. Forsythe is batting .330/.480/.543 with 13 2B, 3 3B, and 7 HR.
