Padres advance Minor League managers Quirk and Barajas

Jamie Quirk, 60, was named the manager of Triple-A El Paso and Rod Barajas became the manager of Double-A San Antonio. The moves were made in the wake of Pat Murphy being promoted from the manager at El Paso to managing the Padres.

Quirk, who played parts of 18 seasons in the Major Leagues, was in his first season at the helm of the San Antonio Missions after managing high Single-A Lake Elsinore in 2014 during his first season with the Padres organization. Quirk was the bench coach of the Chicago Cubs in 2012-13. This is his 43rd season in professional baseball.
