We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the San Diego Padres.
Check out the sleeper prospects for the San Diego Padres, according to CaliSports News:
“Believe it or not, the Padres do still have some depth on the farm, even though AJ Preller traded much of it away because somehow San Diego is in “win now” mode. This is still weird to me. Anyway. CaliSports News has already ranked the friars top 5 prospects here, so this is a list of five Padres prospects with breakout potential. There are several quality prospects in the Padres system that will get promoted before most of these guys, but the guys on this list have higher ceilings. Conversely, they also have lower floors as their talent is raw and they are young. If you’re looking to add prospects with star potential to your dynasty league fantasy baseball team or just want to know if there is any premium young talent that A.J. Preller hasn’t traded away yet, this is the list to check out.
Michael Gettys
Age: 19
2014 Level: Rookie Ball
Position: OFThe pre-A.J. Preller Padres picked him in the 2nd round of the 2014 draft, but his tools and high ceiling make him the prototypical Preller prospect.”

According to Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com the San Diego Padres are extremely interested in Cuban sensation Hector Olivera:
“More than 200 scouts attended workout for Hector Olivera last week in DR. SFG, SD, TX, ATL, NYY among teams showing strong interest. #Cuba
— Jesse Sanchez (@JesseSanchezMLB) January 24, 2015
Olivera is a 29-year-old second baseman that has plenty of hype around his name. He is listed at 6’2″ and 195 pounds and he still has a lot of hoops to jump through before he will be cleared to play in the United States.
There is a lot of buzz surrounding this Cuban star but he does have an injury history. He was unable to play the entire 2012-2013 season due o thrombosis in his left bicep.”
