Earlier this week Padres followers got the prospect to vote on who has been the Padres finest addition to date this season. The outcomes are in!

First off, Jason Heyward getting a vote is a little bit stunning contemplating he wasn’t taking part in daily earlier than Jackson Merrill injured his hamstring and is hitting .190 this season. Possibly somebody had that dwelling run he hit vs. Colorado on their minds. In all seriousness although, he looks as if a stable veteran to have on the group so I wouldn’t be shocked if he stays longer than some initially thought.

Pivetta clearly isn’t taking part in daily both however he hasn’t allowed greater than a run in three of his 4 begins. The one dangerous begin he had was in non-baseball climate in Chicago. He wouldn’t make the excuse in regards to the climate however you’re mendacity to your self if you happen to don’t issue that in.

With no Joe Musgrove, Yu Darvish and Matt Waldron and query marks entering into about Randy Vasquez and Kyle Hart, it felt like lots was going to be on Pivetta’s shoulders and he’s stepped up to date.

The Gaslamp Ball viewers voted Sheets quantity two on this record and I agree. Positive, the Padres have put him in the precise conditions (dealing with right-handed pitchers in 93% of his ABs getting into Friday) however he deserves credit score for sticking with the modifications he and Victor Rodriguez made earlier than the season. The 28-year-old is hitting .311 with two homers and 10 RBI, already changing Ha-Seong Kim’s fan chant with one in every of his personal (HO-LY SHEETS!)

Jose Iglesias landed with San Diego on a minor league deal (one way or the other no main league group was keen to provide him a serious league deal??) and has been nice to fill in for Jake Cronenworth. It looks as if he’s been a terrific teammate and keen to do what’s wanted to maintain an inning going and get the job accomplished.

I used to be a little bit shocked Hart initially made the roster however he had the beginning expertise within the KBO and like Pivetta, his solely dangerous outing was in Chicago when it was within the mid-40s. Clearly folks can query his begin since one in every of them was in opposition to the Rockies however when the sport’s about profitable, he’s accomplished the job the vast majority of the time. San Diego has received all three video games Hart has began.
