SAN DIEGO -- Padres prospects Hudson Potts and Buddy Reed excelled at Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore this season -- so much so, they were promoted to Double-A San Antonio, where they've largely struggled since.
The challenge of facing top-tier competition remains in front of both. Along with right-hander Hansel Rodriguez and catcher Austin Allen, Reed and Potts were the Padres' prospects selected to play for the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League, which begins in October.
Notably absent was No. 1 prospect Fernando Tatis Jr.
