So Much For That: Allan Dykstra, Padres Snub Fort Wayne

By Chad Gramling | August 26, 2008

Remember a few weeks ago when I suggested the new PDC between the Padres and the soon-to-be the team formerly known as the Wizards might result in better players coming through? Yeah . . . not off to a good start.

Seems that top pick Allan Dykstra has bypassed us and gone straight from rookie league ball to Class High-A Lake Elsinore. Thanks Padres. Can’t wait to watch another team almost compete for a playoff spot in 2009!!!

And to think I have defend you!
