The Padres were hoping something like this would happen this Spring Training down in Peoria, Arizona. They entered Spring Training trying to sort through a handful of starters to find their fourth and fifth starters. They were hoping that Brandon Maurer could make the transition from the Padres bullpen in 2015 to the rotation in 2016 per his own desire. Now it appears that Drew Pomeranz might make that same transition after coming over from the A’s in the off-season.

Though spring training is close to wrapping up, Pomeranz pitched four solid innings Wednesday and should have two more chances to show his moxy to the Padres brass after the Padres announced earlier this week that Maurer is a better fit out of the bullpen to start the season.
