Hoyer and McLeod reunited with Chicago's new president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, for whom they served as top lieutenants with the Red Sox. Josh Byrnes, yet another former Epstein disciple, replaced Hoyer in San Diego. He joined the Padres following the 2010 season after being fired as Diamondbacks GM that July. Byrnes has an extensive professional history with San Diego CEO Jeff Moorad, who bought the club early in 2009, and so do other key members of the reconstituted front office. When he was team president of the Diamondbacks, Moorad hired Byrnes for his first GM gig in October 2005. Newly minted Padres assistant GMs A.J. Hinch and Chad MacDonald also worked with Moorad and Byrnes in Arizona. MacDonald left his post as Mets scouting director in November to join San Diego. A restocked farm system may be Hoyer's lasting legacy with the Padres. San Diego built depth quickly through a pair of trades that returned prospects for veterans Adrian Gonzalez and Mike Adams. A third deal yielded Cameron Maybin, the 10th overall pick in the 2005 draft who finally came into his own in 2011, stealing 40 bases and providing quality defense in center field. The young players received for Gonzalez and Adams will take longer to reach the majors but could provide a greater impact in the long run. First baseman Anthony Rizzo ranks as the Padres' top prospect after a breakout season in which he hit .331/.404/.652 with 26 homers in 93 Triple-A games. Rizzo came from Boston along with righthander Casey Kelly and athletic center fielder Reymond Fuentes in exchange for Gonzalez. Kelly teamed with lefty Robbie Erlin and righty Joe Wieland, the price the Rangers paid for Adams, to form the heart of the playoff rotation for Double-A Texas League champion San Antonio. The Missions won 94 regular-season games, tops in the minors. San Diego also has fortified its system by spending what it takes to acquire top draft talent. Under Moorad, the Padres have spent $24.4 million on bonuses in the 2009-11 drafts, an expenditure that ranks ninth in MLB. They have doled out three of the four largest bonuses in franchise history during that time, to 2009 No. 3 overall pick Donavan Tate ($6.25 million), 2011 second-rounder Austin Hedges ($3 million) and 2011 first-rounder Joe Ross ($2.75 million). For the big league club, life after Gonzalez proved as bleak as expected in the immediate aftermath. San Diego followed a surprising 92-win campaign in 2010 with a 71-91 effort that landed them in last place in the National League West. Among NL clubs, only the Astros won fewer games. Two rookies provided some of the few pleasant surprises. Lefthander Cory Luebke blossomed at age 26, opening the season in the bullpen before forcing his way into the rotation, where he went 5-8, 3.31 with 111 strikeouts in 101 innings over 17 starts. The Padres' top offensive performer was 27-year-old Jesus Guzman, who signed as a minor league free agent and hit .312/.369/.478 in 247 at-bats while filling it at all four corners. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/organization-top-10-prospects/2011/2612699.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.117.166.201 ※ 編輯: beckseaton 來自: 122.117.166.201 (12/13 00:14)
