Pitchers neglected in the last battle

 McKenzie Gore and Adrian Morejon were ignored in the fatal four way battle for the spot seventy-three.  McKenzie received one vote and Adrian got none.  The other seventeen votes were split between Phil Nevin and Rickey Henderson.  The Hall of Famer triumphed over Phil Nevin by just two votes, Rickey received ten votes and Nevin received eight votes.  

I don't think that I will be going to any Padres minor league games anymore.  With the radical realignment of the minor leagues by Major League Baseball yesterday there are no Padres minor league teams within 1,000 miles of where I live.  The four Padres minor league teams will be in El Paso, San Antonio, Lake Elsinore and Ft. Wayne.  One of the three teams I used to go watch the Padres play against, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, is no longer affiliated with anyone.  They had been a Giants affiliate for over twenty years.  

Todays battle is for spot number seventy-six.  A couple of guys you forgot played for the Padres and a member of the 2020 All Major League Team and a Future All Star and hopefully a long term member of the Padres.  


Thank you for stopping by and thank you for your assistance.

  1. It looks like I have the first and what I foresee a runaway in numbers of votes for the Tatis Jr card. He is the present and future of the Padres organization.

  2. I agree with Tim, Tatis will win this one. But I am tired of the constant Turkey Red stuff. so I will try to swing the vote. I vote for the Shumpert!

  3. I had mentioned I was anti customs, but I will go with Shumpert here. Simple design and profile shot.

  4. I imagine for a Padres' fan it's hard to turn down that Tatis. However, for a non-Padres fan I'm voting for the Shumpert (I like that design much more than the tired, tired Turkey Red)

  5. I'm voting for Tatis, but the 2015 Topps design was a key reason I returned to the hobby.

  6. It may be a wasted vote, but I'll go for Kennedy.

  7. Tatis. I love 2015 Topps. Not much of a fan of Kennedy.

  8. Such a shame that there are no Padres affiliates in your region anymore. Do any at least have an opponent in the northwest, so you might be able to attend their away games there? Hope so.

    I'll join the Tatis bandwagon.

  9. Tatis. Awesome player + Beautiful looking card.

    Sad to hear that there aren't any Padres minor league affiliates in your area anymore. I do hope we'll be able to meet up at a Hillsboro Hops game one day.
