Re: 2024 Padres Prospect News and Notes
Jacob Melton , OF, Houston Astros Melton’s swinging strike rate is surprisingly low considering what I expected of him coming out of Oregon State. His head is still flying around a lot throughout his swing and he tends to spray a lot of contact to the opposite field. I’m just not comfortable projec...

Re: 2024 Padres Prospect News and Notes
Look, Cubs newcomer Shota Imanaga brought this upon himself. Imanaga, 30, has been so obscenely good since arriving from Japan, we have no choice but to compare him with giant pitching names present and past. The lefty starter is 5-0 with a minuscule 0.84 ERA, the fourth-lowest after the first nine ...

Re: 2024 Padres non-prospects news and notes
The Houston Astros are in an unfamiliar situation: five games under .500 with Memorial Day approaching in the distance like a looming mountain out an airplane window. And they’ve won nine of their past 11 to even get that close. The Astros have had their ups and downs during their ongoing run of sev...

Re: International guys
Giants signed OF Jerar Encarnacion to a minor league contract. The deal is pending a work visa and physical. The outfielder had been with Guerreros de Oaxaca in the Mexican League, where he had a ridiculous 19 home runs in only 107 plate appearances. The 26-year-old came up with the Marlins, but was...

Re: 2024 Padres Prospect News and Notes
Among the crowd of high-end starting pitchers to sign with new teams over the offseason, perhaps none had wider error bars surrounding his projection than Shota Imanaga . An NPB star for the past half-decade, Imanaga had a track record of success but also many questions about how his skills would tr...

Re: 2024 Padres Prospect News and Notes
Eric Adler has a path to the Majors. The first part of said path is to pitch well for division-leading Double-A Birmingham, just as he did over eight scoreless outings for High-A Winston-Salem to start the 2024 season before he earned a promotion to the Barons last Wednesday. He did the same with a...

Re: Padres Trades
Marlins trade James Karinchak, Slade Cecconi to Padres for Braxton Garrett I think Braxton Garrett is a solid young southpaw SP who is, is real life, getting close to returning to live action at the MLB level. It won't surprise me if he has the best total career of the three players involved in thi...

A 16th-round selection in 2022 out of UCLA and son of a former Dodger star, Karros is proving that he is not just a legacy selection, but a bonafide pitching prospect capable of making an impact at the highest...

Re: 2024 Padres Prospect News and Notes
In a lot of respects, Kyle Karros is like most minor league baseball players, just trying to earn a living playing a kid’s game and making a name for himself. But it’s his name that usually get first recognition. Such is the case for the son of a longtime former big leaguer. Karros’ famous father is...

Damiano Palmegiani , 3B, Toronto Blue Jays (Triple-A Buffalo): 3-5, 2 R, 2B, 2 HR, 3 RBI, BB. Should the Jays need a boost to the offense this year, Palmegiani is likely the first to get the call. He’s produced big power numbers at every level of the organization since being drafted in the 14th rou...

The Background: The Dodgers took Nastrini in the fourth round of the 2021 draft after a college career in which the righ...
