Those numbers aren't bad, but damn that's their #1 Prospect? Then again, we are talking about the Padres.

ETA: Renfroe's numbers are far and away better than Margot's. I don't see how you can look at that on paper and justify calling him up over Renfroe.


I agree to a certain extent but he could have had a monster year last year and just hasn't had the best start to this season. The year is still very very young. There could be plenty of reasons that he is their number 1 prospect.

ETA: I just looked up their stats. Not exactly sure what they are looking at. Renfroe looks to be far and away the better prospect. Here are their baseball reference profiles.

Manuel Margot

Hunter Renfroe

He's a speedy defender in CF and can cover a lot of ground. I guess the Padres are/were lacking that guy defensively. That would make him their #1. Padres have Kemp at RF which isn't as important defensively to them I suppose.

Kemp also has a ridiculous contract which I'm sure the Padres would love to get rid of by trade or something but the way he's playing, nobody will pick up that tab. So Hunter is logjammed until late summer when the Padres are out of it and they want to see what he can do.

Braves asked San Diego for Renfroe in the Upton deal back in '14. I wish that would've happened.

Margot is also in AAA at 21. Renfroe is 24. The rankings are based on potential as well as production.

Well he's Dominican, so he's probably 34.

This thread is awesome. Coach34's name should somehow be added to the title though, imo...

Agreed. However, with the current state of the club, you would think they would give Margot a little extra time in the minors, and want to know what they have in a little bit older prospect, ASAP.


ETA: Which also doesn't have anything to do with who is ranked higher in their system. I don't have any beef with him being number 1.

It's hard to get an accurate age for Dominican baseball players and women in Hollywood.

Actual conversation:
Me: You're 41?
Actress: frick you. Yes.

After 3 more drinks.

Me: I forgot. What was your birthday again?
Actress: 4 fricking 22 fricking 68.
Me: So you're 48.
Actress: No! 43... wait... 41... wait... frick you, motherfricker.

I think age conversations are pretty much the same with Dominican baseball players... except they are in Spanish.

Later the same night.

Actress 2: He busted you lying about your age?
Actress 1: We all lie.
Actress 2: I never lie about my age. That's just stupid.
Actress 1: Your driver's license says you weigh 130.

Silence.
