Daily Friar 1.19.12

Found January 19, 2012 on Friarhood:
PLAYERS: Jedd Gyorko,  Yonder Alonso,  Simon Castro,  Edinson Volquez
TEAMS: San Diego Padres,  Chicago White Sox
  Woohoo!! We are exactly one month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp. Spring training is on the horizon and slowly but surely it is almost here. The Rangers will have one more arm in their rotation when they break camp in a month. Yesterday they signed the top foreign prize in Yu Darvish. 6 years, $60M on top of the $51.7M they had to pay to win rights to discuss a contract in the first place. That is a lot of money for one pitcher, but I guess he could be worth it. The Rangers will be in town June 18-20 so maybe we'll get a chance to see him live. Anyways enough about an AL West club, let's talk Padres.

Padres Tweetup with Josh Byrnes

Via Friarhood  |  January 18, 2012
The Padres general manager Josh Byrnes is meeting fans tonight at Bubs in the gaslamp.  As opposed to the "exclusive" beer summit events Hoyer attended, this tweetup event is for all Padres fans, not just a hand picked few.  Hopefully, this is the start of tweetup events the Padres will have throughout the year.  The event is rather low profile, so I wouldn't expect...

Top 15 Prospects: San Diego Padres

Via Fangraphs  |  January 19, 2012
The San Diego system is deep. What’s most impressive is that the organization has been able to bulk up its minor league depth through a variety of methods: drafting, international free agency and trades. In particular, scouting director Jaron Madison had an outstanding draft in 2011. Even with the loss of some of its front office talent much more remains. The loss of young hurler...

Free Kyle Blanks?

Via Fangraphs  |  January 20, 2012
In 2009, at the precocious age of 22, Kyle Blanks stormed into the Show and promptly swatted 10 big flies, and his .372 wOBA — in a limited sample — was third-best on the Padres. In other words, he had arrived, and the Friars happily installed him as their cleanup hitter for the 2010 campaign. But after a slow start, Blanks was felled by Tommy John surgery, and has seemingly...

  Arbitration deadline has passed and numbers have been exchanged. The Padres have done pretty well this year with 9 of the 11 players coming to terms with the team. The only ones that didn't are Clayton Richard and Dustin Moseley. Intersting to note that both pitchers also had their season ended prematurely due to injury and surgery. I'm sure things will be resolved...

Live Padres Chat with Tom Krasovic

  I won't take up too much space up here today as there are a ton of links to get to. I was actually surprised to see so many today since we are so close to spring training with not a whole lot left for the Padres to do to the team. Rumors have us possibly picking up another reliever, but that remains to be seen. What I'm excited for is to see what the prospects will...
