As long as they don't call him up to San Diego or block the playing time of better players, fine, the move is just needless, not disastrous.

The padres front office people are geniuses (genii?) and should not be second-guessed. Seriously, I think they're just filling in bare spots with stopgaps, because they don't want to move up AA guys before their time. Maybe they think it's easier for them to adjust when moved up to the next level at the beginning of a season, because they earned the promotion, than to break up the San Antonio team to fill in gaps in Portland, where the atmosphere is pretty grim. Maybe better to sign these fill ins so you can call up a Barfield, Zawadzki or Kazmar without causing damage to Portland OR San Antonio's roster. At least that's how I see it. Did I mention that the Padres front office staff are geniuses? Do Not Be Alarmed. The padres front office people are geniuses (genii?) and should not be second-guessed.
