To Revos mention of Weaver, yes even Weaver has a reason to be on the roster--to suck up innings and allow whomever the Padres are grooming in their system time to mature and help in 2019. That's it. If he builds some value (or any of the other arms outside Perdomo, Diaz or Capps) They'll be flipped at the deadline and a new set of crap will take the mound second half of the season.
BTW, Hedges is making some of these rag arms look halfway decent. He should be the next Yadi Molina. Some scouts already think he is.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

Ryan Schimpf, as reported by others, seems to be responding to competition as he's hit his 9th HR of the year tonight.
In other news, the Padres traded for Matt Szczur and he should see plenty of time on the OF as he slots immediately into the starting line up.
Blash and others have been found wanting.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

I'm going off of what Preller said about the fact they've been trying to trade for him since March and that all the guy needs is an opportunity to succeed and take that to mean he'll start plus I like what Szczur has done defensively in comparison to those currently platooning (Blash, Cordoba and Spang) in the OF.
Green does DS a lot, but with the pitching staff set up the way it is, that's a given.
I could be wrong, but I really can't see them doing anything else but starting the guy until he proves that he doesn't deserve to or until Jank/Dickerson return from the DL.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

So, like you indicated, he's a guy to like as a fan of the padres, or as a 5th OFer/bench bat in NL only in the short term while he's getting ABs.

Doesnt Carter Capps need to be activated by 5/12?After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Originally posted by Ken View PostI think he's likely one of those players who is better in real baseball than fantasy. He's a 4th or 5th OFer on a good team, or even when the Padres are fully healthy. He's never shown any sustained power, and the speed he had in the minors did not translate to MLB.
