  1. Minor League TTO Alert … According to http://www.scout.com/mlb/padres/story/1774023-madfriars-daily-farm-report-april-26 …

    Is Brad Zunica trying to become Jabari Blash lite? In 12 games this year Zuncia has managed eight his, six for extra-bases, and 12 walks. The 12 walks already puts him close to the 22 walks that Hunter Renfroe had in the PCL all of last year (133 games). This means that in 73.5% of at bats this year Zunica has either homered, walked or struck out.
