Padres Profile: Pitcher Chris Young

Padres Profile : Pitcher  Chris Young Bats/Throws: R/R HT: 6'10'' WT: 280 Bio > Chris Young has become the Padres ace by default.

After the trade of Jake Peavy, Young is the Pads most decorated player, and the one with the most upside.

At 6-10, Young literally towers over the competition.

I think CY is the reason that the Padres have decided to corral so many tall pitchers, no one can touch Young when he is on his game. Young has been down the last couple seasons, with injuries and Albert Pujols line drives off his dome, which has hurt his overall production.

This spring has been devoted to finding CY a way back into his groove. CY can win 15 games this season, and more with some support.

Chris Young has become the Padres ace by default. After the trade of Jake Peavy, Young is the Pads most decorated player, and the one with the most upside. At 6-10, Young literally towers over the competition. I think CY is the reason that the Padres have decided to corral so many tall pitchers, no one can touch Young when he is on his game.

Young has been down the last couple seasons, with injuries and Albert Pujols line drives off his dome, which has hurt his overall production. This spring has been devoted to finding CY a way back into his groove.

CY can win 15 games this season, and more with some support. San Diego has the components of a winning season, the key is not leaving pitchers like Young out to dry when they are tossing a 1 run ballgame. I cannot tell you how many times one of the Padres starters has gone 7 innings, given up 1 run and taken the loss.

Padre fans have to thank Kevin Towers for acquiring Chris Young, he fleeced Texas yet again, giving them reliever Akinori Otsuka for Young in a lopsided trade that the Rangers are still reeling from. Texas NEED’S help with starting pitching, more than any other position. I dont even know where Otsuka is this season, but he is not the closer that Texas envisioned when they made the deal.

Only CY’s shoulder can keep him from a good season, his rehab has been on schedule and there have been no set backs so far.  Out since last June, Young will be monitored pretty strictly this spring. the pitch count will be in play, especially for Young’s first couple spring starts.

Padres Profile: Outfield- Kyle Blanks

Padres Profile: Outfield- Kyle Blanks Bats/Throws: R/R HT: 6'6'' WT: 285 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kyle Blanks is my favorite Padre player at the moment, no one on the Padres roster has more upside than this massive kid,  who reminds me of Frank Howard.

Blanks is playing out of position in left field, but he may move back to his natural slot at first base if the Padres decide to deal Adrian Gonzalez.

In either position, Blanks represents the best of the Padres farm system, one of the best prospects this team has brought up in decades. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blanks has the most raw power seen in a Padre uniform since big Dave Winfield patrolled the outfield in San Diego, all those years ago.

KB went deep 10 times in 122 at bats during his Padre debut last summer, driving in 22 runs.
