Logan Allen has been great this year, I'm excited to see him in San Diego next year. I'm excited about Mejia and hope he can stick at catcher, even if that means Hedges is forced into a backup spot or gets traded.
His defense is still a plus so there's some value despite his ugly offense, but they could keep him as the backup if Mejia takes his starting spot. I'd say 6 or 7 of the 10 on that top 100 list will be in San Diego by 2019, so there's gonna be more expectations to actually compete next season. 2018 was supposed to be a year of improvement and fight for .500 but instead they have the worst record in the NL. I could see Preller making a big offseason trade with some of the farm system to try and get an ace or big bat at 3rd to help push them further along.
An embarrassing performance by the Giants' representative.
I really want to see Hedges succeed and he showed some nice pop last year but in his career his offense has been mostly bad and he can't get on base, the defense can only get you so far. If this was a team that 1-7 in the lineup was great and could handle the catchers spot being weak then maybe Hedges keeps his starting job, but the Padres NEED offense.
Don't think they even knew Melancon. With a little better command of the language though your post would have been very witty.
They showed yesterday that they have better skillz in that than the Giants. It was a true heavyweight fight between two of the greats in that regard.
Padres are in the light heavyweight division, they usually fight above their weight class. It wasn't a fair fight but they did compete up until that final round.
WTF? Do you watch the games? As for not working out; McCutchen, Longoria and Jackson. The first two have had much less production than expected and the third they finally had to shit can.
