As the San Diego Padres gear up for their Spring Breakout game, the reassignment of top prospects Leodalis DeVries and Ethan Salas to minor league camp has sparked some intriguing discussions. With DeVries now holding the title of the Padres' number one prospect, while Salas has seen a dip in his ranking, it raises some compelling questions about the future of these young talents.

What do you think led to Salas's struggles last season? Is it just a matter of adjusting to the higher levels of competition, or could it be something more significant in his development? On the flip side, DeVries's rapid ascent is impressive, but can he maintain this momentum?

Looking at the full roster of prospects, who do you believe has the potential to make the biggest impact in the majors this season? Players like Cobb Hightower and Bradgley Rodríguez are certainly names to watch, but do you think any of the lesser-known prospects could surprise us?

Moreover, with the Padres' infield becoming increasingly crowded, how do you see the team managing their young talent? Will they prioritize development in the minors, or could we see some of these prospects making their way to the big leagues sooner than expected?

Lastly, let's talk bold predictions. Who do you think will be the breakout star of the Padres' minor league system this year? Will it be a familiar name, or could an under-the-radar player steal the spotlight?
