Three Strikes with Sam Geaney, the Padres Director of Player Development:

1) Youve done this for a while -- and been around the Cal League for a long time -- has there ever been a more prospect heavy rotation in your memory?

Sam Geaney:

2) You had to be pleased with what Michael Gettys did last year. What did you see him this spring?

Sam Geaney:

3) How has Javier Guerra looked, and do you think we will see a rebound from last year?
