proCane Eddy Rodriguez off to a HOT Start

After two starts, three Padres minor league starting pitchers – Burch Smith, Matt Wisler and Joe Ross -- have yet to allow a run and three others have allowed only one earned run.

But the focus this week is on offense, particularly the hitters at Double-A San Antonio where the team batting average is .301 after 10 games.

Five of the 10 leading hitters in the Texas League after the first 1 ½ weeks of the season are from San Antonio led by former Padres catcher Eddy Rodriguez, who is off to a .379 start.

Also in the top five of Texas League hitters are third baseman Jake Blackwood and first baseman Tommy Medica.
