Barrett to DL; Colt Morton Joining Padres Roster

April 7th, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Padres catcher, Michael Barrett was placed on the disabled list due to an elbow injury that sounds pretty rugged. The move makes room for Colt Morton, who was called up from Double-A San Antonio today.

It should be well-known that Colt Morton is one of my favorite Wizards. He made his Major League debut last September and earlier this spring, I wrote a piece about his power coming around and reporting to camp in good health.

While I don’t necessarily hope for an extended stint on the DL for Barrett, I do hope Colt gets the chance to turn a few heads and make for a very difficult decision when the times comes.

Good luck Colt!

    Chad,

    How’s Colt at tossing out base runners? We’ve been poking around the ‘net, but haven’t had much success finding defense stats for Colt that list his number of stolen bases allowed, number of runners tossed or catching ERA. Any insight would be appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Ryan-
    Sorry to say that it has been a few years since I have seen Colt and really don’t remember how well he did in that area. I don’t recall seeing him make a lot of errors though. Maybe some of the other Padres bloggers who have seen Colt more recently would consider chiming in :) .
