As per AJ Cassavell of MLB.com, Adam Cimber has made the San Diego Padres Opening Day roster. Coming into camp, Cimber, 27, wasn’t exactly on many people’s radar as a legitimate roster candidate.
Then, Cimber blew the socks off of the batters he faced in the Cactus League, and here we are. He figures to fit in nicely behind Brad Hand, Kirby Yates, Kaz Makita, and Craig Stammen, among others.
Originally a Padres’ draft pick in the ninth-round of the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft, Cimber spent five seasons in the Friars’ farm system before coming into camp this year.
