The San Diego Padres' recent spring training game against the A's showcased some of their top prospects, and while the team may have lost 5-2, the performances of Leodalis De Vries and Ethan Salas have sparked some intriguing discussions. Both players, just 18 years old, held their own against a more advanced group of prospects, which raises some compelling questions about the future of the Padres' farm system.
What do you think about the potential of De Vries and Salas? Are they the future cornerstones of the Padres' lineup, or do you believe they still have a long way to go before making a significant impact in the majors? With De Vries likely starting the season at High-A Fort Wayne and Salas at Double-A San Antonio, how soon do you think we could see them in the big leagues?
Additionally, the struggles of the pitching prospects, particularly Boston Bateman in his professional debut, highlight the challenges young pitchers face. Do you think the Padres' coaching staff is doing enough to prepare these young arms for the rigors of professional baseball? Or should they consider a different approach to development?
As we look ahead, what bold predictions do you have for the Padres' prospects this season? Will any of them make a surprise impact in the majors sooner than expected? Let's dive into the discussion and share our insights on the future of the Padres!
