5-6, 2 dobles, 2 bombs and 9 ribeyes. That's right. Nine ribeyes.
That was Kyle Blanks' line last night for the Padres' AA affiliate San Antonio Missions.
Blanks is a 21-year old 1B prospect drafted in 42nd round of the 2004 draft. He's 6'6'' and weighs over 270 pounds. BA jumped him from the Padres 29th rated prospect before 2007, to number 10 entering the 2008 season. Query where he'll rank next season now that Headley has graduated to the majors and Antonelli has slipped, but Ced Hunter and Kellen Kulbacki have raked and some of the '08 draftees - Decker, Tekotte, Carroll - are off to monster starts. My money is he'll be the #3 guy in the Padres system behind Hunter and Latos.
Does Adrian feel the footsteps? (Of course not, Adrian is a monster.)
