Submit articles and follow me on twitterFollow @M_Rennick Forsythe is adding shortstop to his repertoire - Padres.com "Forsythe said he doesn't anticipate any big hurdles in playing the position. He's played there in the past and he believes his experience learning the second-base position will help him, especially with the plays around the bag."
Healthy Cabrera seeks roster spot - Union Tribune "Cabrera’s stock shot up last month while he was working out at the Padres training facility in the Dominican Republic while general manager Josh Byrnes was visiting the facility." Minor leaguers get head start at minicamp - NCT "While technique is a mainstay of the camp, it's not the only aspect. One portion has players sit down with instructors and go over game scenarios and how they'd handle those situations."
Some notes from Day 6 of spring training - Corey Brock at Follow The Padres "Things are really starting to pick-up here in camp as all but one position player (more below) as reported to camp. The first full workout is set for Saturday, though the first real teaching day, as manager Bud Black called it, won’t occur until Sunday."
Tom Krasovic shares his thoughts on Cole Hamels "He'd see a lot more of them if he signed with the Padres, but if the Padres are to employ a pitcher of Hamels' caliber, he most likely will emerge from their farm system"
Padres will have 5 spring training games televised - Gaslamp Ball "According to a secret source, despite lack of confirmation regarding the status of the Padres current television deal, plans are still being made to get Spring Training games broadcast on the upcoming Fox Sports San Diego."
Expanded playoffs can help the Padres - Chicken Friars "Many will say the additional wild card teams will water down the play-offs, that they will take away the meaning and difficulty of making the postseason. That, of course, can be argued. However, we should simply concern ourselves with the fact that the Padres now have an increased chance at a postseason berth." MadFriars talks about Dirk Hayhurst's new book "Out of My League shines in showing how small the gulf is between playing in the majors and being back in AAA but a world apart financially."
