Damn, not to bad Bill. Hell of a lot better than how they all started the season! I updated the first post. San Antonio now has a 10 game winning streak. Lake Elsinore had a no hitter through 8 innings on Tuesday night. The manager had a choice of using their closer who is unhittable to save the no-hitter, with a 10-0 lead or using a lesser pitcher. He chose the latter who gave up a double. Keyvius Sampson is one of the Padres top pitching prospects. He dominated low "A" last year (12-3 2.90 ERA in 24 starts). The Padres skipped him by high "A" and moved him straight to "AA". He has struggled (16 starts 5.45 ERA). But in his last 3 starts he is looking better (2.40 ERA). On Tuesday night he went 6 innings giving up one hit (sinlge) and no runs. It will be interesting to watch him the rest of the year. He turned 21 earlier this year. |

Fort Wayne and Lake Elsinore won again last night.
At Fort Wayne Adys Portillo Pitched 5 innings giving up 1 hit and no ER. He is a classic example of age being a major factor in development. In 2011 he had a 7.11 ERA in 20 starts at Fort Wayne as a 19 year old. This year as a 20 year old (still young for low "A") he has a 1.65 ERA in 16 starts. He was rated the Padres #18 prospect after last year and should move up that list.
At Lake Elsinore Kevin Quackenbush got his 16th save. Last year he spit time between Fort Wayne and Eugene with a combined 0.64 ERA. The year before at South Florida he had a 0.80 ERA. This year he has a 0.72 ERA at The Lake. It's nice when a pitchers ERA begins with "0". His numbers are impressive.
37.2 innings
3 ER
26 hits
16 walks
42 Ks
And you gotta love the name - Quackenbush.

Padres' patience with Portillo is now paying off "Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if in a year he was banging on the door of the big leagues." |

Playoff chances of the Padres minors.
Tucson - no chance in hell.
San Antonio - 4 games behind.
Lake Elsinore - 2 games ahead.
Fort Wayne - 4 games ahead.
Eugene - 1 game behind.
2 of the 5 would make the playoffs if they happened today. One is 1 game behind. San Antonio would need a big push to close the 4 game gap. 6 of their last 10 games is against the team ahead of them. They have games through September 3.
Padres have 3 minor league championships in the last 2 years. It would be nice to add another this year.
