Damn, man! San Diego must be hurting (no offense, your ratings are just not very good yet). Good for you, that will get you another pay raise.
It sounds like you fell into a great situation, being drafted by the Padres. Good luck in the Bigs!

It's true, the Padres are a bad, bad team. They lost the division by 27.5 games! Truth be told I didn't want the call up yet. I need at least one more year of seasoning to get the attributes up. Plus, starting 3B Chase Headley was #3 in voting for a golden glove last year. No way I will be a starter and I am worried with limited action my skill set will drop.Originally Posted by steelerfan

If you don't get time at SD and they don't send you down to El Paso, ask for a trade if you're attributes start to dip.
I may have to do that but I hate having to ask for a trade. That being said I have no real allegiance to San Diego. Beautiful place to visit; wonderful weather; lovely people... but I don't follow nor route for any of their sports teams. Not that it would happen but if I did get moved I would surely have a preferred list.
NL:
Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
AL:
Toronto
Oakland
Kansas City
Houston (they're growing on me because of your franchise streams lol)
Oops... totally forgot to mention who won the 2014 World Series...
The Tampa Bay Rays DEFEATED the L.A. Dodgers to become World Series Champions!!!
It's in one of my video streams but I don't know if people want to watch for two hours to find that out.
The 2015 season begins for the Padres with a FOUR game trip to San Francisco.
Game 1: Pop fly versus Tim Lincecum
Game 2: double versus Sergio Romo (first ever MLB hit)
** then subbed for a base runner...
Game 3: no at bat
Game 4: strike out versus Madison Baumgarner
So not a very active series for Jaymo. The Padres had a terrible trip, going 1-3 to start the season.
Game 1: SF 4 SD 1
Game 2: SF 2 SD 1
Game 3: SD 7 SF 2
Game 4: SF 9 SD 1
Another series another pinch bat opportunity. This time it's versus the rockies in Colorado.
Game 1: sacrifice fly for Jaymo's first RBI of his career
Game 2: pinch running Went from 1st to home... called out)
** first action of the season... inning 8 at first base. Jaymo participated in three force outs.
*** though a secondary position, Jaymo has never played first base!
Game 3: pinch running in the 9th but never get home...
The Padres season is shaping up to be a disaster!
CO 5 SD 4
CO 3 SD 1
CO 2 SD 1
The Padres now sit at 1-7. After a day off they begin their first home stand of the season. The Padres are already 5.5 games back after the first week and a half of the season.
Could be a very long season. Especially after being part of 2 championship teams last season.
Honestly I have been in eight games in various roles but I have no sense as to how strong this team is because I have actually been in the load screen more than in the actual game. Pinch running in the 9th with two outs gives you a very limited perspective.
Well, yeah. Kinda what I meant. 1-7 record and no PT = long season.
Yeah. I totally got what you were saying in your original post and I agree. I am going to wait until the 2nd month of the season before approaching management about playing time. Right now I am gaining some points through training drills that pop up from time to time. However, I need to actually start a game and get some at bats in. Even if they send me to El Paso I'm still not guaranteed playing time as at AAA and AA there are currently FOUR 3rd basemen. Maybe I made a mistake be re-signing with the Padres?
Looking across the MLB there aren't really any spots for a 3B with my skill level. I can't get ahead and going back a level doesn't isn't in the cards at this time. Plus, I have to admit, now that I am in the show, I don't want to go back down. I wasn't ready to be here yet but now that I have seen the bright lights I don't want to take a step back.
What may be hurting my stock is my D potential rating. You would think I have earned an improvement by now???
It has been an ugly season for the Padres and Jaymo to this point. Currently the Padres sit at 3-9. Jaymo has not started one game and is hitless in six games. His batting average has dropped to an abysmal .143.
However, maybe all of that will change? Jaymo is schedule to play 1st base in the last game of the home series versus the DiamondBacks.
In Jaymo's first game as a starter (at 1st base to boot...) (April 13th at home to Arizona)
Inning 1: Jaymo hits a grounder single to right field. He should have earned an RBI but the runner was thrown out at the plate. Dbacks are up 3-1
Inning 3: three pitch strike out... ugly...
Inning 5: Dbacks have a 4-2 lead. Jaymo takes the plate with one on and two out. Jaymo slices the ball but an amzing play by the 2nd baseman ends the inning.
Inning 8: Jaymo grounds out into a double play to end the inning.
Cameron Maybin hits a three run homer in the 9th... the Padres win! the Padres win!
Jaymo struggled mightily. 1/4 is just not going to get it done. A .182 batting average in the majors is just downright embarrassing.
Chris Nelson is on fire down in El Paso. Will he be called up soon? He has some impressive stats thus far.
11 games
39 AB
.359 avg.
.422 obp
.590 slg.
14 hits
3 HR
15 RBI
In Jaymo's next game versus Colorado he pinch hit for a single. That two hits in two games...
Mark it on the calendar...
April 16, 2015
Malo pinch hits in the 5th inning and faces lefty Morales. First pitch, Malo crushs a 364 footer to left fiel for a one man on home run. That makes the game 4-3 Colorado. Padres win it in the 9th, 5-4.
29, 131 people took in the moment...
At the 15 game mark, things are not looking good in the NL WEST
LA 12-3
COL 8-7 (4gb)
SF 9-9 (4.5gb)
ARI 8-8 (4.5gb)
SD 5-10 (7gb)
The only team currently worse than the Padres are the NY Mets with a 4 and 11 record (but only 5.5 back)
As for Jaymo, what a difference a few days makes. Three straight games with hits
.308 avg
13 AB
4 H
1 HR
3 RBI
.615 SLG.
Jaymo's hit streak goes to four game as he pinch hits a bloop infield single to get to first. This is the last of the home stand and the last versus Colorado. Next up is a trip to L.A. The hit streak stall with a brutal pinch hit strike out in game 1. Padres lose 2-0...
What a disastrous trip to Arizona. 1 pinch hit opportunity, innings 7-10 as a catcher in game 2 and a 1st base start in game 3. Jaymo went 1 for 7 from the plate and watched his .389 avg drop to .292. Yikes!
A catcher? You've played everywhere but third in the majors, lol.
