John Conniff Interviews Mike Nutter

MadFriars’ John Conniff recently posted an interview with Fort Wayne Wizards GM, Mike Nutter. It came just after the announcement to re-up with the Padres for another two years, so they had plenty to discuss.

You know we were asking them to agree with us, but we were throwing out some concerns. We didn’t get some of the bigger names that the Padres have drafted in recent years like Khalil Greene, Cesar Carrillo, Tim Stauffer and Jake Gautreau. Obviously not all of those guys made it, but when our fans read about the Padres drafting a big name they would like an opportunity to see him so if one day they are watching a major league baseball game on television they can say, “I saw him play.” Things like that are always very important to a minor league franchise.
