Luis Durango Called up by Padres
Former Fort Wayne Wizards speedster, Luis Durango has been called up by the San Diego Padres.
Durango made his MLB debut last season as a September call up. He’s got virtually no power threat, but is capable of swiping mor ethan a couple bags because he does a solid job of getting on base. Friar Forecast has a great analysis if you’re interested.
And as Denis Savage of MadFriars points out…
Only once has he hit under .300 – hitting .281 across 129 games in the Double-A Texas League during the 2009 season.
