That year, Baseball America ranked Restovich highly [...]

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 [...]
