So is Ryan Schimpf actually good? He hit .103 in June after his callup but so far in July he's hitting .300 with 8 HR.

Not a kid at 28. Been in the minors forever, has been good at every stop but he's a slow-climber. Obviously. The power is real. The walks are real. The strikeouts are real.Originally posted by mjl View Post
The week he came up, I grabbed him for $1 FAAB in all of my leagues. I figure he's a strong hitter in his prime years on a team with opportunity to give him time to show his stuff. San Diego has, for the next few years (barring trades, of course), Spangenberg, Pirela, Amarista and Weeks as 2B competition, so the field is incredibly wide open for a guy like this to make a mark until Urias or Guerra make their way out of A-ball.
I think if things bounce his way, I could picture a career like Casey McGehee, maybe, with a couple of years of real value and then a precipitous decline. That is the high end of my estimation. I feel he's a fine risk if you can get him cheap, especially now that he's playing well. Let's be frank, if he keeps this up, he's a starting 2B next year and that's something if you can get it cheap.

Potential steals alert in SD...
ROTOWORLD: Padres outfield prospect Manuel Margot was pulled from a game at Triple-A El Paso in the fourth inning Saturday. Margot was spotted in the dugout and he isn't believed to be injured. The speculation is that he could be headed to the Padres to replace Melvin Upton, who appears likely to be traded at any moment. Margot is a top-50 prospect who's batting .306/.356/.434 with four homers and 24 steals for El Paso. He's worth a speculative add in mixed leagues.12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

Dickerson with a HR in his fourth straight game today.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

Alert?!!?
SS Jose Rondon is apparently being added to the ML roster of the Padres. I can't imagine why except a short term audition while Solarte is out on leave.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Yeah, the Padres have done well in their deals this year. Then again, if the current RP market is an indication, minor leaguers have become cheap currency in MLB 2016.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

I was surprised too. in fact very surprised that the Marlins would give up Naylor in this deal. The Pads did very well in this deal.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

I agree that Padres did well. However, let us not forget that Naylor still has a lot of hurdles to overcome before he ever sees a pitch in MLB. He's certainly one for targeting, but he's far from a sure thing.Originally posted by pitbull View PostComment

For sure but to walk away with a decent prospect for a pitcher who has been nothing but mediocre in a good pitching park they again they did well.Originally posted by The Dane View PostComment

Yeah, I like Naylor, but of course, low-leve prospects are high risk. But its the return--I don't see the appeal of Cashner. Park-adjusted, is he even a replacement level pitcher?Originally posted by pitbull View PostComment
