The Peoria Javelinas played their first game of the Arizona Fall League yesterday. With playoff baseball still on TV and the Padres’ season in the rear view mirror, a developmental league played in spring training ballparks probably isn’t on your radar, but as a Padres fan, it should be. The Padres sent eight players to participate in this league. All of them have the potential to be impact for the Padres’ major league team, and some of them could be donning brown & gold very soon.
The Arizona Fall League is a developmental league consisting of a smattering of young prospects from all around baseball.
