We encourage you to talk about the rankings in our subscriber forum.
No player that missed most, if not all, of 2007 or is projected to miss all of 2008 was eligible to be ranked, eliminating Cesar Carrillo, Matt Bush, Nick Schmidt, Jose Oyervidez, John Hudgins and Pascual Juan from consideration. Six-year free agents were also ineligible, eliminating Yordany Ramirez, Luis Cruz and Paul Abraham from consideration.
What is your philosophy on the value of a prospect as it relates to MadFriars.com Prospects rankings?
Long-term success at the major league level. It has been said that the easiest thing to do is get to the majors but the hardest thing to do is stay there.
It is easy to predict who will reach the major leagues. It is harder to predict who will not only reach their dream but also have long-term success. The word prospect is defined as "the possibility of future success."
Future success – not future mediocrity.
When determining the rankings below, there are a multitude of things to consider. Will they reach their potential? How much improvement has to happen? A position player may have all five-tools – but will he learn to use them at a major league level? How far have they come in the past year? How far can they go?
Those are just a few of the questions one needs to ask in determining a prospect's status. But – there is one trait that can't be measured – what the eye sees. It is an important quality and one that a scout lives by – his eyes. When talking about a prospect, there is a certain level of overzealousness. The eyes don't lie.
If you have a firm understanding of the mechanics of pitching and hitting, how a slider should break, and everything in between the foul poles, you can be more confident in your assessment. Scouts don't look at stats. While production is certainly worth noting, gems can be found by watching the player, their mechanics, the break of the pitch, the swing plane – the list goes on and on.
The top 60 San Diego Padres ranked below are a blend of more than just traits, tricks, assessments, theories, beliefs, and eyes. Not only do we see every player, we back it up by talking to players, coaches, and scouts. If we don't see a player, he is not ranked.
Off-speed pitches that will end up being plus offerings compliment an already electric fastball. In fact, he has given up a plus knuckle-changeup to learn a straight change. He is a bulldog on the hill, far different than his off the field persona. Latos listens and learns and will be even better next season when he gets some rest and starts bringing the fastball consistently in the mid-90s. He could be a future number one starter at the big league level.
2. Chase Headley – 3B
Headley silenced the critics with an amazing season, capped by Texas League Player of the Year and MadFriars.com Player of the Year honors. He hit for power and average while playing stellar defense. A switch-hitter, Headley made tremendous strides with consistency from both sides of the dish. His makeup is outstanding, and he is expected to put in the same work this off-season as he did last. He needs to duplicate his success to eliminate those believing this was a one-year trend.
3. Matt Antonelli – 2B
Antonelli's permanent change of position and significant improvement in the power category made him an easy choice in this position. Already blessed with patience at the dish, he upped his aggressiveness, didn't miss pitches he could drive yet still maintained a high on-base percentage. He is easily the best leadoff hitter in the system. Antonelli has the will to succeed and odds are he reaches his goals – soon. He needs significant improvement in his work around second base but has been there one year. His stamina will also be in question next August.
4. Cedric Hunter - OF
What Hunter did at the age of 19 in the Midwest League was impressive when you consider there was little protection around him. Hunter adjusted to the constant diet of breaking balls and still has work to do on that front. Ironically, it will make him even better down the road. He still has an excellent feel for the strike zone, and his power is still developing. Hunter still needs work in the outfield and with his arm. He also needs to become better on the basepaths and there was a feeling from scouts that he didn't hustle all the time.
5. Chad Huffman - OF
You can tell a lot about a kid by looking into his eyes. Huffman's are one of pure determination and grit. What separated Huffman from the rest is he hits good pitching. While others may pile it on versus the inferior competition, Huffman is getting his knocks against quality hurlers. He is a terrific athlete, hits for average and power while also playing quality defense. He is among the best clutch hitters the Padres have. There are very few holes in his game.
6. Yefri Carvajal - OF
Waiting for a breakout year, Carvajal delivered. He is a true five-tool talent that can hit, hit for power, field and throw, and run (his weakest trait). The young Dominican is still learning patience at the plate and must continue to stay away from breaking pitches away. One of his failings has been swinging at anything in a hitter's count rather than looking for his pitch in a specific location to drive. At bats will solve a lot of woes. He also needs experience in the outfield at night to lose his tentativeness and should add right field to the mix once he gets comfortable.
7. Kyle Blanks – 1B
Blanks loosened up his stance to free up his hands and lose the stiffness that held him back, resulting in more drive through the ball and power potential. The big man delivered big hits and maintained a solid average. This behemoth has even more power potential trapped inside. He has good plate awareness and will drive pitches in his sweet spot. Blanks was pitched vastly different than he was in the past, seeing plenty of breaking balls away and fastballs in. He still needs work on connecting and pulling the fastball on the inside corner. He worked hard at the Instructional League on his work around the bag at first and must continue to improve there.
8. Wade LeBlanc – LHP
LeBlanc is one of the best at setting a hitter up and putting them away. The southpaw has two plus-changeups that baffle hitters. He gets a little too fine with his attempts to control his fastball instead of simply trying to throw it for a strike. He has tremendous aptitude for the game and has a natural ability to see a hitter's tendencies. Once he learns to command the fastball consistently, specifically to the inside part of the plate, he will be in the big leagues.
9. Drew Cumberland – SS
Cumberland doesn't have many flaws in his swing. He has an easy, compact approach at the dish and hits the ball square on pitches middle-in. He has power potential and a lot of the tangibles you look for in a baseball player. He has a tendency to dive out over the plate and try and pull the ball on anything touching the outside corner. Cumberland will have to learn patience and allowing the ball to get deep to take it the other way. His shortstop defense will need to make significant strides in the coming year for him to remain here.
10. David Freese – 3B
Freese is a 'baseball player' that is a terror with men on base. He drives the ball with authority to all parts of the field and can turn on the inside fastball. He will get pull happy at times and needs to maintain that consistent approach of hitting the ball where it is pitched. Freese is another player with terrific makeup that is driven to succeed. It is hard to believe pundits actually thought his defense was sub par – it has been stellar since he arrived into the system. Age is working against him.
11. Drew Miller – RHP
Miller battled through injuries this year but still turned in a quality year. He has a power fastball and spent a significant portion of the season working on his changeup and slider – flashing a feel for both. There were times he hit too much of the plate with his fastball and it was tattooed. Miller worked more with a four-seam and will need to begin trusting his two-seam, allowing its natural movement to dictate an at bat rather than trying to hit a corner. Ironically, it was his changeup that was being taken over the fence, a pitch he had trouble keeping down in the zone. He has higher expectations of himself and improved on lowering his walk totals.
12. Kellen Kulbacki – OF
Kulbacki got off to a slow start but really turned around his game as the season wore on. Transitioning to the wood bat proved more difficult than initially proposed, but Kulbacki started swinging the stick with authority down the stretch while staying back on each pitch. He has good plate awareness, and he should be able to drive a lot of pitches, as his pitch recognition continues to advance. His outfield work was lackluster for half the season, but he looked confident in Instructs and must carry that over to next season.
13. Mitch Canham – C
There are few people who have the raw power of Canham. He has tremendous strength in his hands, wrists, and arms, and once he follows through with his lower half and stops leaking forward he could be a terror with the stick. He is a natural leader and his makeup is off the charts. His catching skills need a lot of refinement, as he has trouble blocking the ball and his footwork needs improvement to throw out runners attempting to steal. He is still learning the game but has a good feel on how to attack a hitter by using his pitcher's strengths and using the weaknesses he sees.
14. Cory Luebke – LHP
It was clear Luebke knew how to pitch but what surprised was the pop on his fastball. The left-hander dialed it up to 93 MPH, despite a boatload of innings heaped upon him in college. He throws strikes, works the lower part of the zone and is understands the game. It would not be a surprise to see him pushed next year. Luebke does have to sharpen up his slider and improve the changeup, but he is a kid that will put in the extra work. He has never really had a coaching staff willing to teach him so he is eager to learn.
15. Nick Hundley – C
It was a positive year for Hundley. While he struggled with the bat early on after essentially skipping a level, he rebounded nicely. His primary focus last off-season surrounded his defensive play and he improved ten-fold this season. Getting out of his stance and in position to throw quicker than ever before helped him patrol the basepaths. He also improved his ability to call a game, pitch sequences and framing. Hundley still will struggle blocking some balls and has to improve his consistency with the bat – he will dive out over the plate rather than going with the pitch.
16. Rayner Contreras – INF
Armed with more lightning in his bat than people realize, Contreras was beginning to realize his potential before getting hurt. Skipping a level and with little support around him, he still managed to hit well and learn the nuances of the game. Contreras is still growing into a solid frame and he calmed down his high leg kick to get more balance at the dish. He is on the verge of being a special talent and will have to continue learning the strike zone. His defense must also be shored up. Contreras will rush his throws before setting his feet and has lapses of concentration fielding the ball.
17. Aaron Breit – RHP
Breit had his struggles this season with confidence and loss of command. When he was in the strike zone he was catching too much of the dish with his fastball. On the positive side, he never got down on himself and was always willing to take the ball. He eventually battled through the lows and was pitching well in the final month – a long time coming. Much was the product of a mechanical change he stuck with rather than going back to his old ways in an effort to help him down the road. The worst appears behind him.
18. Will Venable – OF
Venable skipped a level and still wound up getting plenty of hits. The unfortunate part is hits are not enough with age working against him. He has to drive the ball on a consistent basis and turn singles into doubles and two-baggers into homers. A year like Antonelli or Headley could shoot him back up the charts. Venable is athletic and has a tremendous work ethic. His arm isn't great but he makes up for it with solid baseball instincts in the outfield. Still, you wonder if he can really play center of right field at the big league level.
19. Euclides Viloria – LHP
Consider what Viloria did – at his age – incredible. His biggest fault was stamina. He would come out with guns blazing only to falter by the fourth inning, leaving pitches up in the zone and losing command of his arsenal. He has a plus-changeup and good deception on his fastball, making it jump onto hitters. Viloria is also a confident pitcher. If he learns to keep his mechanics in line and stay closed, he could be even better. As he tires, he flies open and his pitches are elevated as a result.
20. Matt Buschmann – RHP
Buschmann showed how good he could be when he keeps his three-quarters delivery in line. He has a tendency to drop down and will throw across his body, setting off his release point. He has excellent movement on his two-seam fastball and gets a lot of ground balls. He is also not afraid to pitch in the big game. Buschmann also has a very good slider that flattens out when his elbow drops. Buschmann is a hard worker that wants to be outstanding at his craft. He is on the right path.
21. Pablo Menchaca – RHP
There was no one in the organization throwing the ball as well as Menchaca – we just didn't see it in games. He was dominating in extended spring training with an easy delivery and heavy fastball. He has command of three pitches and is continuing to get stronger. The problem is he lost much of the year to injury and has to keep the demeanor on the mound heading into next year. He could make a big jump up this list and has frontline starter stuff.
22. Wilton Lopez – RHP
Lopez is likely the most asked about prospect in the entire San Diego system – by outsiders. Teams around the league were waiting to see if he was Rule 5 eligible – eager to snare him up. The Padres, however, will not have to fear losing him, and he may make his mark by then as they plan to push him. Lopez has an electric fastball that sits in the mid-90s with good sink. He also has a changeup that is coming along and a slider that needs work. Lopez pounds the strike zone and is not afraid to go after hitters. The development of his secondary pitches will be vital.
23. Manny Ayala – RHP
Ayala knows his stuff as good as anyone else. He has very good fastball command and his changeup is a plus-plus pitch. He can make up for mistakes by throwing the changeup in any count, any situation. He attacks hitters and throws inside, setting up the rest of his arsenal. He approaches practice and sideline sessions as if he was in a game and that carries over. He had a shoulder injury late in the year, and he will have to prove he can continue to throw strikes at the higher levels while getting results.
24. Jeremy McBryde – RHP
A tough first year professionally does not diminish his immense talent. He has a power sinking fastball that hit 94 MPH this season and profiles to gain a tick or two with some rest. He also has two sliders but needs to improve their consistency, as well as developing a changeup he can count on. His major problem came from pitch sequence. He would go back to the fastball too often and did not use his secondary pitches to keep hitters off-balance.
25. Luis Durango – OF
Durango is, by far, the most exciting player in the system. He has plus speed and a knack for putting the ball in play. While it appears he has good plate discipline, this is an area that could improve. Durango simply has the best bat control and places the ball where fielders aren't, even on tougher pitches. He needs to continue to advance in his game awareness on the bases and in the outfield. While his outfield defense improved at Instructs it is still well below average.
26. Will Inman – RHP
The toughest pitcher to evaluate on the list because of his late arrival – we only saw him in one game. There was, however, a reason this kid was in Double-A at 20. He has a deceptive delivery that hides the ball well, although it could be considered violent. He doesn't have a plus pitch but sets hitters up better than most, mixing in each pitch in off-counts. He was tired at the end of the season and his ball began to elevate. Stamina will be a key moving forward, as will calming down his delivery while not losing his ability to hide the ball.
27. Ernesto Frieri – RHP
Frieri has developed excellent command of his fastball and sometimes will use it exclusively. Not only does it look faster than it appears, but he was hitting 95 MPH on the radar gun at the end of the year. He loves to pitch and thrives on more work placed on his shoulders. His intensity increases when men are on base and gets results. He used to be too hard on himself but has learned to let bad outings roll off his shoulders. Frieri had a solid slider at one point but the pitch lost its depth and his changeup is now the better pitch.
28. Joe Thatcher – LHP
Thatcher came over from Milwaukee and simply got outs by working ahead in the count. He sports a cut-fastball that has quality movement to it and his best attribute surrounds location. He doesn't miss up in the zone. Coming from his independent league stock, he has tremendous drive, pitching each inning as if it were his last. He attacks hitters and strives off pressure situations - fearless. He will have to improve his changeup, as major league hitters often adapt over a full season. There has been talk about him adding a sinker and that could provide a different angle to hitters.
29. Cesar Ramos – LHP
Ramos is a big-game pitcher that often is at his best when the pressure to perform is on. He has a very good curveball and works to contact. Ramos lacks a put-away pitch and needs to improve upon his fastball command – a pitch that has a lot of late movement. He learned to go inside more than in the past and can setup his off-speed pitches away. A consistent worker, he tosses four pitches; when his cutter is working, he will get hitters to pound the ball into the dirt.
30. Javis Diaz – OF
Already blessed with raw speed, Diaz improved his body positioning and balance in his baserunning through the year, improving his stolen base success tenfold. He also is one of the better bunters in the system. He isn't, however, the quintessential leadoff man. He strikes out too much. And he may have too much power. He is standing up taller in his stance and has moved his hands back to give him more drive. He has trouble getting coverage on the outer part of the plate and doesn't have a good two-strike approach. Expect the power to increase in the coming year and it could be an intriguing combination given his speed.
31. Josh Geer – RHP
Geer, MadFriars.com Pitcher of the Year, does what everyone else should – commands his fastball, hits his spots, pitches to contact. Working inside was, however, the biggest reason for his success. He has continued to prove everyone wrong along the way. One of his strongest points is his pitch sequences. He knows how to fool hitters, keeping them off-balance by working through his arsenal. His ceiling is limited but there is no argument against his success. He needs to continue twirling his magic.
32. Steve Garrison – LHP
The southpaw came into the organization as an unknown and worked ahead in the count and tossed strikes. Armed with four pitches, Garrison understands the game as well as anyone, hitting his spots and commanding his fastball. He throws a slider and a curveball with the slider his out pitch. Garrison won't wow with his velocity but will make the pitch when it is needed and limit damage by working the corners and staying down in the zone.
33. John Hussey – RHP
Hussey went through a tremendous growing year where he lost confidence in his pitches and couldn't get ahead to use his plus-curveball. It got to a point where he was pushing the ball and trying to overthrow, making his command even less effective. His walk totals need to come down and it begins with first-pitch strikes. He was very effective in Instructs and learned max-effort does not lead to success. His mind appears clear now and he remains an untapped talent.
34. Jared Wells – RHP
Never a proponent of the changeup, Wells became a better pitcher when he was moved to the pen where he can concentrate on throwing two pitches and giving his all. He no longer had to think on the mound and became fearless – flashing his plus-fastball and slider, daring the opposition to beat him. Taking the thinking out of the equation as a member of the pen made Wells a better pitcher, utilizing his natural talents to record outs and put hitters away – the latter something he struggled with in the past.
35. Simon Castro – RHP
Castro needs to work with 90 percent effort to gain command of the strike zone. Like many young Dominicans, he tends to overthrow and with his huge frame it sends his mechanics off-line and the ball sailing outside or up in the strike zone. The key to his future will be tied to efficiency. While he has a plus-fastball it won't ever matter if he can't stay in the strike zone consistently. Where he throws the ball is more important than how hard it is thrown. His changeup needs a lot of work, but his slider has improved.
36. Craig Cooper – 1B
Cooper has an inside-out swing that lends more to a higher average than power. As a first baseman, that puts him slightly behind. This is a kid who could make a jump in the rankings as he learns to consistently turn on and pull the inside pitch. He has a good feel for the strike zone but hasn't mastered looking for a pitch in a certain area and driving it. He is a very good defensive player and can play the corner outfield positions as well, giving him some versatility.
37. Daryl Jones – 1B
At the point where Jones was turning a dismal season around, he went down to injury. Jones was chasing outside of the zone and not seeing many pitches early in the year. He began to understand what pitches he could drive and was making solid contact more frequently before his season ended. He still chases balls away and out of the zone and remains raw with power and potential. The coming year will be big for him to prove his talent can shine through.
38. R.J. Rodriguez – RHP
He may be short in stature but Rodriguez has plenty of heart. The closer the game, the more focus he has. He has a tendency to lose his intensity when the game is out of hand and does not have the same attacking scheme, pitching a little too relaxed. Rodriguez always wants the ball in his hand – another positive. His velocity jumped several ticks with an off-season of rest and armed with an already plus-changeup the combination became deadly. He is also working on improving his slider.
39. Corey Kluber – RHP
Kluber got a late start to the show but flashed quality pitches at times, although his rhythm seemed stunted by shorter outings to save his arm. He needs to get a better push off the mound to maximize his size and strength while also cleaning up his changeup – a pitch that he lost trust in after being a quality pitch in college. His even temperament allows him to shake off the bad outings and learn from them. He should see a lot of benefit from the time off.
40. Mike Ekstrom – RHP
A down year for the ground ball pitcher was a byproduct of command; Ekstrom didn't have it. He was up in the zone for a majority of the year and the opposition took advantage. He maintained his poise throughout the season and never got down on himself. He remained aggressive and was rewarded for his work ethic, picking up the Championship win. Simply put, he has to keep the ball down to succeed.
41. Brad Chalk – OF
An injury set Chalk back in his first professional season, but the young outfielder has good pop in his stick and excellent speed. He had the appearance of being lazy early on because of his ailments but turned out some impressive performances at Instructs. Chalk will need to work on pulling the inside pitches more frequently, as he naturally wants to take it the other way. He will also have to bunt more often than he did to utilize his speed. He is a kid that could make a jump in the standings with a healthy season.
42. Rolando Valdez – RHP
A true competitor, Valdez is a little too hard on himself, and once inside a rut, he has trouble digging himself out. The converted outfielder has a plus-changeup but lost some of its feel this year. His curveball has a tendency to hang and will need a tighter spin to become successful. Valdez throws strikes and has impressive command of his fastball for a player that is relatively new to pitching. If he can command his off-speed pitches, Valdez' future could be bright.
43. Jesus Lopez – SS
There are few who made the strides that Lopez did offensively. The numbers may not tell the true story of how much he improved. Lopez took to the Padres approach that preaches patience and squared a lot of balls up – lining out to a defender more than anyone in the system. If he can keep that approach consistently, his luck will turn. Lopez already is a plus defender that sports a cannon arm. He will rush his throws at times and needs to settle his feet before going to first.
44. Alexis Lara – RHP
The right-handed Lara has the potential to be very good and could jump up this list. He is efficient with his pitches and can throw two off-speed pitches over for strikes. He tends to favor the slider as a strikeout pitch but his changeup might be the better pitch. He will overthrow at times, looking to blow the rock past a hitter rather than pitching to contact and trusting his defense. His delivery is extremely violent, but also allows him to hide the ball well. His fastball has late pop, and he can keep his pitches in the zone.
45. Drew Macias – OF
Macias regained the step he lost a year ago and proved to be an outstanding defender at three outfield positions, running good routes and covering a lot of ground. His bat has also come a long way, as has his patience at the dish. He really grasped the patiently aggressive approach and tried to drive pitches he could handle. Macias hit a lot of balls hard this season – but oftentimes they went right at people. His body could hold a little more weight and that could add the power desired to go with plus-defensive skills.
46. Jeudy Valdez – SS
Valdez has the potential to be great – he just has to cut down on the mistakes. He needs to level out his swing plane, go with the pitch, and stop leaking forward and diving out to get the outside pitch while adding consistent overall mechanics at the plate. He has speed and will hit for power once his swing becomes repeatable. He made up for some of the deficiencies with great bat speed. His defense is an area that needs a tremendous amount of work, and stamina will be a question he must answer next year.
47. Sean Kazmar – SS
Kazmar had a down year and lost his confidence in Double-A, putting a lot of pressure on himself and not having fun. He improved when sent down, reclaiming his swagger and going back to the basics of putting a good, easy swing on the ball. When he was moved to shortstop in the California League, Kazmar sparkled. He showed range, soft hands, excellent footwork, and saved quite a few runs. It could be the position he mans from now on.
48. Orlando Lara – LHP
Lara was loaned to Mexico for much of the season but has a chance to move up the rankings with a prolonged stay in the states. He has a plus-changeup and an improving curveball to go with a fastball that appears harder than it is. He has to fine-tune his command and work on consistent mechanics, as he lost the smoother side to his delivery this season. He was falling behind in the count and would leave fastballs out over the plate. Pitch sequences will be important to him moving forward.
49. Robert Perry – OF
Perry was a sparkplug wherever he went and has surprising pop for a player of his stature. He has good mechanics, puts his whole body into a swing and has a short stroke while maintaining a natural ability to get the bat head through the zone. A polished player that goes to the ballpark each day with confidence, Perry has a great feel for the game and picks up on tactics being used by the opposition from the dugout – a natural leader who will share that information. He is also a solid defender and will have to continue to use all the fundamentals to get the job done.
50. Nathan Culp – LHP
Culp hurls four pitches and has good control of each of them. His ability to spot his fastball is ahead of most, and a big key to his success. While he won't wow with his stuff – his changeup has become very good - he has great pitchability. The crafty lefty is competitive and loves to be challenged – pressure situations don't seem to faze him. When his cutter is on, he gets a lot of ground balls outs and is happy to let his defense do the work for him.
51. Jeremy Hefner – RHP
Throwing strikes better than any new draftee, Hefner took advantage of what he saw from the competition and had a keen eye for seeing the weaknesses of his opponent. Challenging hitters, especially early on, was one of his strengths. He has a good fastball that should gain a few ticks with some rest, and his slider is effective. His changeup needs some work, but he has constantly worked on it since his arrival. Rest will be big for him, as he threw a ton of innings this season and went through a dead-arm period. His smooth mechanics offer a lot of future potential.
52. Juan Ciriaco – SS
There are some who believe Ciriaco will be a big leaguer and be a very good one. More production needs to be present before that can become true. He redid his swing this year under the care of Jim Lefebvre and regained his confidence along the way. He has solid power in his wiry frame and has better balance at the plate than in the past. His instincts at shortstop aren't great and he doesn't always plant his feet when he throws. He may end up at second. Learning where his pitch to drive is will ultimately tell his tale, as he has never had great discipline.
53. Matt Teague – LHP
Teague can't throw a ball straight; he has a lot of natural movement on his pitches yet finds a way to consistently hit the target. There is, however, such a thing as throwing too many strikes. Hitters began to attack early in the count, as they knew he was always around the plate. He needs to find a pitch that will drop out of the zone to keep hitters from teeing off. A great listener with a willingness to learn, Teague will be better as his defense improves.
54. Luis Martinez – C
Martinez has the body of a catcher and a terrific feel for his pitching staff, as they enjoy throwing to him. He has good footwork and a solid arm but needs to improve on his positioning and ability to frame the ball. He is also learning pitch sequences and what to call when. A hard worker who was late on the fastball in Eugene, Martinez learned how to take what the pitcher gave him and stay with the ball by putting in extra time. He has good pop in a strong frame and his discipline at the plate improved through the season.
55. Danny Payne – OF
Payne is patient to a fault. While the Padres preach patience, they also want their hitters to be aggressive. Payne will let good pitches snake by him and fall behind in the count rather than attacking a fastball down the middle early in the count. He needs to learn the pitches he can drive, and when he sees that pitch, he has to take the stick off his shoulders. He will have to make the adjustment to take the next step or face being on the defensive all the time.
56. Mike Baxter – OF
For the last two years, Baxter has been a tale of two halves. The first half of the year has been awful and the second half very good. He is a hard-nosed player that hustles and religiously puts in the effort to improve. He has a short, compact swing but sometimes his trigger is late in reacting, changing his timing. He has room to add weight to his frame and that could drive him to future success. He also has to work on his jumps in the outfield.
57. Eric Sogard – 2B
Sogard is another player with great makeup and will give you his all each day. He has trouble with the ball on the outer half of the plate, showing a tendency to drop his bat head underneath the ball to compensate. He has good plate awareness and does not often chase outside the zone. Sogard is also fundamentally sound with bunting, the hit-and-run and baserunning. He lacks the range and footwork for shortstop but could develop into a solid second baseman.
58. Seth Johnston – 2B
Johnston has a consistent approach at the plate and has the ability to hit .300 each year. He is a very good two-strike hitter who will take the ball the other way and use all parts of the field. He does not have the power you crave and that could hold him back. Adding a slight lift to his swing may help. His biggest knock is a lack of position. He does not have the range to play shortstop and his hands are adequate for second. Outfield could be in his future.
59. Yesid Salazar – RHP
This was a learning year for Salazar. When he was first moved up, he felt he had to change his game and began overthrowing – trying to put the ball past more experienced hitters. He settled down and regained his confidence, asking for the ball in pressure situations. He is an aggressive pitcher who will challenge hitters but has to focus on staying on top of the ball and keeping it down in the zone. His breaking ball has to take the next step as well.
60. Andrew Parrino – SS
Parrino is the definition of a gamer. He leaves his body and soul on the field and never takes a day off. That personality rubs off on the rest of the team, as they see how hard and consistent he works. He is an aggressive hitter that is learning the strike zone and what pitches he can hit. The balls he did connect on were often drilled, sometimes right at defenders. If he can learn to be more patient, Parrino could rise up this list. He has the ability to stick at shortstop and can slide over to second base with ease.
As with scouts and front office personnel, each individual compiles their own list and submits them. We will take the same tact here. Look for another prospect list in the near future.

text: SAN ANTONIO, May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Memorial Day weekend, Walmart and Sam's Club will celebrate the launch of the company's commitment to hire 100,000 veterans over the next five years during its Saluting Heroes Together event with Operation Homefront. This event is part of a nationwide series to help honor the brave men and women who have or are currently serving in our military and their families. This event will take place Saturday, May 25, from 11 am to 2 pm at the Walmart supercenter located at 8923 W. Military Road. Lunch and giveaways will be provided by Walmart and Sam's Club suppliers, including Johnsonville's World's Largest Grill. In January, Walmart announced that beginning Memorial Day, May 27 , the company will offer a job to any honorably discharged veteran within his or her first 12 months off active duty through its Veterans Welcome Home Commitment, and plans to hire more than 100,000 veterans over the next five years. Members from the Walmart People Division department will be on hand at the event to answer questions about the commitment. "Veterans will add tremendous value to our company," said Juan Zuniga, a San Antonio Walmart store manager and Air Force veteran. "They have a great work ethic and are eager to learn," he added. "When I left the Navy, I was looking for an opportunity to apply the traits I learned in the military to a civilian job, and I found that opportunity at Walmart." "Operation Homefront is proud to support our service men and women and their families, and have been since 2002," says Vicki Sarracino, vice president of field operations. "Walmart has been a longtime supporter of Operation Homefront," she added. "We are proud to partner with Walmart and Sam's Club and are honored to take part in the Saluting Heroes Together events that will help strengthen community support for those who have served and sacrificed to provide opportunity for us." The company's focus on supporting veterans extends beyond its hiring initiative. The Walmart Foundation has committed $20 million through 2015 to helping veterans and their families transition from the military into the civilian workforce through programs that provide job training, transition support and education. As part of the commitment, the foundation announced a $750,000 grant to the American G.I. Forum National Veterans Outreach Program, Inc., in April. The grant established a new Texas veteran's program focused on helping 700 Texas veterans, age 34 years and under, who are unemployed or underemployed with transition and employment placement assistance. To learn more, drop by Saturday's event in San Antonio or visit www.walmartcareerswithamission.com.

Top Sites (From East to West):
Pegasus Bridge. Located on the Caen Canal, this key bridge was captured by British airborne troops in the early morning hours of D-Day, helping to secure the eastern flank of the invasion. Although the original bridge was taken down in 1994, a museum marks the site of this crucial coup de main operation.
The Memorial and Museum of Peace. Caen's Battle of Normandy Museum offers guided tours of the landing beaches (British and American) along with a pass to the memorial. Caen is the site of the British breakout through German lines.
WWII Museum at Bayeux. While this town's chief attraction is its 11th century tapestry honoring William the Conqueror's victory at Hastings in 1066, the Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie 1944 paints a vivid picture of the Allied invasion and campaign in Normandy.
Arromanches. See the remnants of Mulberry B, one of two huge artificial harbors the Allies towed to Normandy from England. The Museum here has a great model, showing how the structure worked.
Omaha Beach. One of two beaches attacked by American forces on D-Day (the other is Utah Beach). Located near the town of St. Laurent, Omaha Beach was the bloodiest of the D-Day beaches. You can still see remnants of one of the Mulberries, or artificial harbors, the Allies built to support the invasion.
American Military Cemetery at St. Laurent. Stretching across the bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, the rows of white marble crosses and stars commemorate the men who died fighting for the Allied victory in Normandy. A must see.
Pointe-du-Hoc. The elite US Rangers scaled this 40-meter high cliff between Omaha and Utah beaches to neutralize a dangerous German gun battery. Check out the cliffs, the ruins of German bunkers, the bomb craters, and see if they were successful.
St.-Lô. In the town where the Americans finally broke through the German lines, the Holy Cross Church is home to a memorial to Maj. Thomas Howie, who had vowed to be the first American in St.-Lô. He was killed shortly before his troops took the city.
Utah Beach. The area around Utah Beach contains monuments, abandoned tanks and pillboxes – reminders of D-Day. The Musée du Débarquement, near La Madeleine, is located in a German bunker and offers striking accounts of the battle for Normandy.
Ste-Mère-Eglise In this town taken by the US Airborne on D-Day, the Musée des Troupes Aéroportées includes photos, a glider and parachutes commemorating the morning of June 6, 1944 when American paratroopers dropped over the town to secure the western flank of the invasion.

Had an interesting trip to Gettysburg. After scoping out the local campground we made our way into the town center to see where things were located. We parked on the street next to a shop called Subterranean Soul. Its a shop selling various clothing, vinyl records, and various trinkets.
The owner was present and he reflected his past travels and people he knew who had a bus. He attended Woodstock which made for some interesting stories. ...
Aug 11th - Gettysburg
... at Normandy in WWII. It's an eerie
place but kept beautiful as it's a National Park. You get a feel for
how far both sides walked and for the terrain they lived and died on.
This Battle was the turning point for the war, even though it lasted
another 2 years, the Union Army maintained control and eventually
won, abolishing Slavery.

PPIs are drugs commonly used to treat chronic heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some examples include Prilosec/omeprazole, Prevacid/lansoprazole, and Nexium/esomeprazole.
Drugs classified as PPIs are not covered for adults because PPIs have over-the-counter alternatives available. The plan does not pay for drugs that have an over-the-counter alternative, even if you have a prescription and buy it from a pharmacy. Therefore, if you use a PPI, you pay the entire cost of the drug.
ALERT! PPIs prescribed for persons under age 18 are covered, because the available over-the-counter alternatives are not approved for persons under age 18. Contact Washington State Rx Services at 1-888-361-1611 for more information.

But clouds have begun to gather on the horizon just as things should have been looking sunny in the run-up to the World Cup. Nike issued a profits warning last week and though the problems are mostly in the US and the Far East, over-supply is causing in price cutting everywhere. This is bound to have a knock-on effect on UK retailers, who are pawns in a much more powerful game.
Demand here does seem to have faltered. Sports Division, the privately owned retailer, is delaying its decision on the timing of its float and share prices have been falling. JJB shares have lost 18 per cent of their value since their peak just three weeks ago. On top of all this, the former merchandise director of Manchester United has said the replica sales boom may be over.
With the huge store opening programmes being undertaken, the market is clearly more difficult. The question now is whether this is just a dip or the beginning of the end of this particular fashion.
The next news will be JJB Sports' full-year results next month. With analysts expecting profits of pounds 34.5m the shares trade on a forward rating of 20 times. This is far higher than Blacks Leisure, which has a wider spread of interests, and JD Sports, which has been affected by profits warnings. The World Cup may provide a boost but, with higher interest rates affecting consumer spending and the threat of a shift in fashions, investors should proceed with caution. There is a case for locking in profits.

Astelbania Chronicles: Muddled Truths
"M..my PROTECTOR?" Falina herself winced at the shout that came from her lips.
Both royals looked at each other but did not take her to task for her manners. Brandyn who was standing between the two gave her a hard glare and Bahl seemed to find the whole situation somewhat amusing.
"Perhaps we should start from the beginning," Elyan said to the King who nodded and indicated a chair near her.
"Please, Lady Falina, sit down."
Falina flopped into the chair feeling as if her legs had given out from under her, not even commenting on the misused title as her mind whirled with the thought that this..this..demon was to be near her for...for how long?
She looked at the King, questions clearly in her eyes and he drew a deep breath, preparing for a moment for what he was about to say.
"I am afraid that you might find all of this a bit overwhelming," He began and held up a hand when she opened her mouth to speak. "Please, Lady Falina, hear me out before you speak. I will answer what questions are left when I am done."
King Goldenbane began to pace as he spoke, his brow furrowed in concentration.
"As Bahl has stated, his family has been serving ours for ages. Thanks to their loyalty, Devensheer has escaped many wars and much devestation. I go so far as to say that, without them, Devensheer would not exist today."
His Majesty stopped and looked hard at Falina. "And neither would your farm or the life you lead with your family. Although we cannot openly announce the historic value of their services, all of Devensheer, each man, woman and child, owe much to Bahl and his ancestors."
Bahl, in acknowledgement of the King's praise bowed low from his hips but did not interrupt.
"And, as I have already told you, his mother was a knight, a great knight in fact and one that was very close to the royal family. Not only she but her closest friend and ally, Genevive D'veln, were loyal knights of the highest order amid the royal family."
Falina's head snapped up at the mention of her mother's name, her mouth hanging open and eyes wide and unblinking. The King nodded at the question in her eyes.
"Yes, your mother, Falina, once served the throne and earned her title of Lady. A title which is now passed down to you and your brother and sisters. As well as land and possessions which have been in holding for all of the years she has been missing."
Falina's mouth snapped shut and she looked down at her rough-worn hands with unseeing eyes. They were a product of hard work, work she was proud of. They came without title or lands or a hint of nobility. All of her life she had been a simple farmer's daughter. The news that there was more to her existance than that was too overwhelming for her to comprehend.
King Goldenbane, sensing her confusion, waited before beginning again.
"As I was saying, both yours and Bahl's mother served us well. Besides Bradyn, I do not believe there were more trusted knights in my kingdom."
Bradyn nodded solomely at this but kept his silence.
"Your mother stood up for Kathelyn, Bahl's mother, at her wedding never questioning her friend's love of someone...not human."
"I will not bore you with the complete details of that story, however, I simply bring it up to show the loyalty that your mother had to her friends. It plays a large part in what I am about to impart to you."
Falina blinked and looked up again, meeting the King's gaze but saying nothing.
"It was some short months after Bahl's birth that both Kathelyn and Genevive were sent on a routine mission. At least it was supposed to be routine. What went on we will never know for Bahl's mother died and yours disappeared."
Falina shook her head. "No...no, she died...five years ago. A...an accident...a carriage accident. The healers were too late to save her. My..my father found her...went looking for her when she did not return home...."
Elayn sat down on the chair next to Falina and took her hand in his. It was ice cold and he glanced up at his father with a question in his eyes. The older Goldenbane shook his head and nodded to Falina.
"She is Genevive's daughter. This is a shock but she will be able to meet the challenge. I am sure of it."
The thought that she was glad HE was sure she could handle this because she was having doubts herself crossed her mind but she did not speak those thoughts to anyone else in the room.
"Your mother disappeared before you were born," Gerald Goldenbane continued as if he had never been interrupted. "On that night and we could not find her though we searched the countryside and towns. We finally came to the conclusion that she, too, perished but her body had been lost."
"We were mistaken, of course. Somehow she survived and hid. Why, we do not know, but we are sure of one thing...if Genevive D'veln forsake her knighthood, it was because she knew she could not return without bringing harm to the royal family or else her memory was altered to keep her from remembering her post here at the Palace."
At this point Bahl spoke up. "Believe me, my father spent every effort he could to find her. He was determined to learn the truth about my mother's death. It was to no avail. Something powerful was blocking his every effort." His eyes seemed to bore into her as if he could take the answers his family had never recieved and rip them from her mind just because she was her mother's daughter. Flinching she turned from his gaze and looked elsewhere around the room.
"Years passed, twenty to be exact," King Goldenbane continued. "The incident was put aside as new crisis arose around the kingdom and we all, Bahl's father included, were called to keep the kingdom safe."
"In that time, your mother wed your father and produced a family of which you are a part. We have no reason to believe that your father knew of your mother's past. In fact, since we have become aware of your existance, we have been made fairly certain that that is the case."
Unbidden, her eyes flicked to Bahl who gave her a rueful smile and a half-bow.
"What we do know is that you play an important part in this."
Falina tore her gaze from Bahl's and stared open mouthed at the King.
"But...but..you just said I wasn't born until AFTER this had all happened!" She stuttered, confusion in her eyes.
"Yes," It was Bahl that spoke,"But the fact remains that your role in this is central."
Falina had had enough of this and turned on Bahl, her temper flaring, her fear of him all but forgotten.
"And why, Demon, do you think this?"
His eyes never waivered from hers but seemed to burn in intensity.
"Because, a few days ago I was following a new rumor that seemed connected to my mother's death. It led me to a source that asked that I do a certain job."
There was a pregnant pause as both participants stood, gazes locked, a battle of wills flaming between the two of them. Bahl won the battle with his next clipped words.
"The job was to assassinate you."

A study was carried out to determine the influence of different types of sludges (municipal, industrial and residential) on field germination, growth and nodulation of L. leucocephala seedlings in the nursery. Before sowing of seeds, different combinations of sludges were incorporated with the nutrient deficient natural forest soils. Field germination, nodulation status and physical growth parameters of seedlings (shoot and root length, vigor index, collar diameter, leaf number, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root and total dry biomass increment) were recorded after three and six months of seed sowing. Field germination, nodulation status and growth parameters were varied significantly in the soil amended with sludges in comparison to control. The highest number of nodule was recorded from soil amended with residential sludge (1:1) and highest fresh and dry nodule weight was also found from the same combination in both three and six month old seedlings. In case of growth parameters, the highest growth was recorded from soil and residential sludge (1:1) combination compared to control. From the study, it can be recommended that soil amended with residential sludge (1:1) provide better field germination, growth and nodule formation of L. leucocephala in degraded soil.

Product code: KEXT

Swing from tree to tree high above the forest floor for over two hours of adrenalin-fuelled fun, laughter and adventure. This high ropes course is built in some of the tallest trees in Eastern England in the beautiful New Wood, part of Weasenham Woods in Norfolk. This experience takes aerial trekking to new extremes as you swing, climb and jump through the trees.
Wearing a safety harness, participants trek through the canopy across 20 different activities amongst trees as tall as 150ft. The course is a network of rope bridges, trapezes and death slides that offers an exhilarating, challenging experience, which will leave you gasping for more! The course is set at two different heights: low ropes at 20ft and high ropes at 40ft for the more extreme participant.
In addition to this, feel the G-force on the 45ft 3G swing, an exhilarating ride for any participant who wants to experience the g-force effect. The swing can take three people at a time and is winched up to a maximum height of 45ft and one of the participants then releases it into a massive swing. Plus, feel the fear of the 80ft fan descender jump, which enables you to carry our a controlled vertical jump, and the sheer exhilaration of flying 1000ft down a zip wire.
You will also receive a sandwich and drink from the on-site café to provide you with welcome refreshment following completion of the course. Finally, also included with your package is complimentary entry into the beautiful Woodland Walk around the rope course.

Great Experience
Being petrifed of heights and the fear of falling, I was very apprehensive about doing the High Ropes experience, however the staff were amazing, they did nothing but reassure me that i could complete the course, they stayed with me and led me around the course as I was too nervous to do it by myself. Really recommend this experience, and if you want to conquer your fear of heights then this one is for you! Great day out!

A great afternoon of quite intense activity!
This was a very good activity if you can cope with heights and swinging ropes. The course is designed to build your confidence, so you do get better as you go around. The instructors are experienced, friendly and look after you. It is outdoors for at least 2 hours by the time you have finished. Make sure you have a friend with you on the course, as you need to encourage each other!

Good Activity but poor systems in place for bookin
I had a gift voucher, I booked online and travelled 1.5 hours to the activity. When I arrived I realised I left my voucher at home. Even though I had booking confirmation emails from activity superstore and the company Ariel extreme, they still said they could not process my booking without the physical voucher and I had to pay or go home. I had to pay as I had travelled such a distance. In this day and age I can't believe 1 piece of paper was needed. Silly to say the least.

Royal Desertions
If Phoenicians felt a cold wind a-blowin' shortly after Sir Steve skipped town, imagine how Clevelanders felt when King James jettisoned maximum hometown dinero and took his talents to South Beach. Two years removed from the notorious "announcement," the Cavaliers are still reeling.
Much like Gentry's fledgling Phoenix Suns squad, this year's Cavs are a team in flux, searching for an identity. But with reigning rookie of the year Kyrie Irving looking to rise from the ashes of torched Lebron jerseys that still litter the streets of C-Town, there might be more than one Phoenix rising in U.S. Airways Center, 201 East Jefferson Street, when these two chippy, young rosters clash. Fun game fact: Suns newcomer Luke Zeller will face-off against his younger brother, Cavs rookie Tyler Zeller, in the Friday, November 9, matchup, although it'll likely be a brotherly bench-warming contest.

Back in the days of the internet boom, it was straight up equity, then it became convertible notes.
Now, the SAFE deal structure is gaining momentum as the structure of choice for certain investments in fintech startups. This after Y-Combinator, the incubator, posted details on its SAFE agreements last February.
SAFE, which Y-Combinator first started using in 2014, stands for simple agreement for future equity. A SAFE is often used in the start-up context and accomplishes the same general goal as a convertible note without the obligation for repayment, since convertible notes generally morph into debt.
To offer a scenario, let's say an accelerator wants to gain equity in one of its startups. It is in both the accelerator's and the startup's best interests that the equity should be distributed only if the startup rocks up to a much greater valuation then when the startup joins the accelerator. The SAFE would have the equity distributed upon a valuation over a certain level, say, $20 million. But if the startup does not achieve that valuation, there is no equity distribution and there is no debt created, as in a convertible note.
Here's the No. 1 reason why Y-Combinator has moved to SAFEs:
Unlike a convertible note, a SAFE is not a debt instrument. Debt instruments have maturity dates, are typically subject to certain regulations, create the threat of insolvency, and can include security interests and sometimes subordination agreements, all of which can have unintended negative consequences for startups.
It should be noted, and as implied above, the SAFE structure has been around for a while, but the Y-Combinator information has some deal attorneys more jazzed about it again.
Some observers have noted that certain investor protections are not present in the Y-Combinator model. For example, information rights and the right to convert to equity earlier under certain circumstances are excluded. Deal attorneys say those are conditions that should be included in a SAFE.Like This Post
