When I started writing this piece, I was watching the San Diego Padres lose to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night in true Padres fashion. Manuel Margot continued his stretch of very impressive games, even sending a home run out to the Western Metal Supply building. Unfortunately, the rest of the offense was underwhelming, failing to draw a single walk.
That sort of production is expected out of the offense, however, it was the performance of Luis Perdomo that was even more depressing. His lack of minor league experience has been well documented, as have his major league struggles.
