We last took a look at standout pitching prospects who were performing well about a month ago, so we figured it was time to check in on the Minor League’s hottest hurlers again. There are actually only two repeats from last go-round, with a pair of lefties – Kade Anderson

ARLINGTON -- Padres manager Craig Stammen has shuffled his lineup all season trying to light a fire under his stalled offense, but one guy has stayed put even amid a career-worst season. “I trust Manny Machado,” Stammen said after the Padres’ 6-4 victory over the Rangers in 10 innings on

ARLINGTON -- Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not. Genius will not. Education will not. “Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent,” former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge once said. Nothing else explains Blake Hunt's winding journey to the bigs.

Gary Sheffield was signing autographs after speaking at an annual youth baseball fundraiser in Greeley, Colo., this past January. Sheffield’s connection to Greeley is a deep one -- his former manager with the Padres in 1992, Greg Riddoch, hails from the Northern Colorado city and the two have remained close

ARLINGTON -- For the second game in a row, the Padres put a plethora of runs on the board. But the offensive outburst wasn't enough to help them avoid a 9-7 defeat in the series opener on Friday night at Globe Life Field. The evening was not a total waste,
