Padrograph #1016 is Jon Matthews, who is new to the Padres this year. He will specialize in training the outfielders. He comes from the Diamondbacks where was a minor league hitting coach. He also was a coach at Indian Hills Community College in Centerville, Iowa where he also taught economics. I sent this to him at Spring Training and it took about a week and a half. The post office takes the mail to San Diego and then I guess the team takes it to Peoria. I also sent cards to Coaches Johnny Washington and Alan Zinter and players Jered Weaver, Trevor Cahill and Michael Kelly. So far I have a 16% return rate on this batch. I will send some of the actual Heritage cards once all the rosters are set.
