He was a 4A player.....his MLB Career Avg was .201....yup ...he sure could hit

Quote from MrPadre19 on July 23, 2018, 10:17 am

I think the point was that he "did" hit.....in the Minors.

To this point that is all that Naylor has done as well.

If they think Naylor is the LF of the future, I'd assume they would make him get into a good workout program and eating regimine this off season and get him to lose 25-30 lbs.  I know we've been over this before, but if he dropped some weight, he probably could be a pretty good OF

Or......maybe the DH will come to the NL about the same time as Naylor?

Who Cares ?

Well, obviously at least 1 person since they proposed him as the Left Fielder of the future.

This is an extreme over exaggeration and not backed up by anything

It's not. It's backed up by the .900 OF fielding % that the official scorer has given him. You're prefacing everything with his size meaning you're clearly enamored with it and grading on a scale and you're obviously too close to the situation if you're bringing up intelligence. When we had Kyle Blanks roll through the system he looked like a below average defender a few years ago at 250lbs. Naylor is not Kyle Blanks. I actually really like Naylor as a prospect and he makes the Hosmer signing one of the dumbest contracts in Padres history, but he's no OFer.

Just to be clear, I think Naylor has a ways to go to become a viable option in left field for the Padres.  However, he was a lot better than I thought he would be and we have had three sets of eyes on him this season in SA (Marcus, David and myself).  He still needs to drop some more weight, but he takes good routes, is really working at becoming better out there and he has a good arm.

The bat, and more importantly the approach, is real.  We will have an interview with him coming up and I like the direction he is going in.

Mejia makes his debut. Was actually wondering if Urias would see an uptick over the next month or so with someone like that hitting behind him.  After Franmil's start and callup it's been musical chairs.

First time seeing Patino. That's a weird mix of a delivery. High come to bringing the glove across his face and deep into his body into a high leg kick. I can see how it'd be easy to pull it across body. Sat 96 in the first. 94 after the 2nd.

Quote from Ryan Payne on July 25, 2018, 5:56 pm

Is it fair to say that Gore and Patino will headline a Lake Elsinore rotation next season? That team has a chance to be ridiculously young for the Cal League, but supremely talented with top prospects.

Quote from dvmin98 on July 26, 2018, 9:00 am

I watched the TinCaps game last night.  Holy hell, is Patino impressive.  Throwing 94-96 at 18.  He was dominant.
