vs SD - N/A 

Origin Story - Cleveland Indians' 1st Round pick, 35th overall in 2001. 12/13/08 - Signed Minor League deal with Washington.


• The San Diego Padres selected Tim Stauffer with their 1st Round pick, 4th overall in 2003. The Montreal Expos' 1st Round pick that year, 15 players later, was the Flat-Brimmed Closer Chad Cordero. Cordero made his MLB debut that year and was in the major leagues full-time over the next five years until he suffered a torn labrum at some point in 2008 and was unceremoniously dumped (non-tendered) by the Nationals. Stauffer started at A-ball in the Padres' system in 2004 and quickly jumped Triple-A in his first full season with San Diego, debuting in 2005 and making 14 starts and 1 relief appearance in which he was (3-6) with a 5.33 ERA in 81.0 IP. In 2005, Chad Cordero saved 47 games for the Expos, and posted a (2-4) record with a 1.82 ERA in 74.1 IP. Cordero made 287 appearances from 2004-2007, pitching 305.1 innings in the majors while Stauffer moved up and down between Triple-A and the Majors, making 59 starts at Triple-A and 19 total for the Padres between 2005-2007...before missing all of 2008, after surgery to repair a torn labrum...

• Chad Cordero Update: In the rookie-level Arizona League, Chad Cordero's (0-1) with a 9.00 ERA in 3.0 IP, over which he's allowed 4 hits, 3 ER and 2 walks while striking out 4.

When my brother was 15, it was free umbrella night for adults 16 and over. They gave him an umbrella and then the GM Tex Simone ripped it from his hand and said hes not old enough.

Syracuse Chiefs vs Louisville Bats report.... if you like reading and are bored during the rain delay

Top of 1- Detwiler gets 2 quick outs and then gives up a single and a triple. A throwing error by Ian Desmond scores another run. He gives up another run in the 2nd to make it 3-0. Syracuse hitters baffled most of the game.
                Nothing happens until the top of the sixth when the defensive play of game happens. With a runner on first, the batter hits a single to left. Dukes makes a good play to cut it off and throws it to third where it is cut off by the shortstop Ian Desmond. He fires it to 2nd and gets the hitter in a rundown between 1st and 2nd. After seeing the rundown the runner from third tries to advance to home. The 2nd baseman Seth Bynum tags the runner and in a quick spin move throws home and guns him down for a double play.
        In the bottom of the 7th, Seth Bynum hits homerun number 14 to deep left to make it 3-1. Zechry Zinicola pitches a scoreless eighth for the Chiefs.
       In the bottom of the eighth they bring in Padilla to leadoff pinch hit (dont know why he didnt start) He bunts for a basehit. It is followed by a Pete Orr single to right to put runners on 1st and 3rd with no out. Ian Desmond promptly strikes out and Dukes walks to load the bases. A fielders choice by Mike Morse scores Padilla. Korey Kasto K’s with runners in scoring position- score 3-2 Louisville.
          Josh Wilkie pitches a scoreless ninth and then the rally begins. Seth Bynum hits a rocket to left for a single. J-Max follows with a looper to right to put runners on 1st and 2nd. The catcher Molina sacrafices them over to put them on 2nd and 3rd…….and Padilla wins the game with a 2 run single to center….CHIEFS WIN.. THE CROWD GOES WILD.

GREAT GAME TO WATCH.. BEST IVE SEEN IN A WHILE- DETWILER OVERALL PITCHES WELL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1ST INNING…7 INNS 3 RUNS 5 K’S
AND PADILLA WINS THE GAME!!!!!

mlblogs states

Since Jim Riggleman became the Nationals’ interim manager last week, Anderson Hernandez has yet to get a start at second base.

The reason is that the team now considers Hernandez a utility player. That’s why he has been working out in the outfield. Most of the playing time at second base will go to Alberto Gonzalez, with Ronnie Belliard and Willie Harris getting occasional starts.

If there were 12 BB this would be a lineup of Dunn's.

I hate that they won't let fans into the seats behind the plate even when they KNOW nobody will sit there.

It makes the stadium look really empty, and though it is, that’s not a good image for the Nats.

I like change when it's needed. I like Riggles because he went to the same high school as one of my coworkers.

Plus, just on numbers alone, the defense in Seattle improved a lot after he took over last season.
