Fuson has his eyes on some top hitting prospects
I had the opportunity to write an article for the latest Padres Magazine (available during the current homestand at Petco Park) profiling the gains made by the draft class of 2008, particularly at the plate. As part of that story I got to sit down with Padres’ VP of Scouting and Player Development Grady Fuson in his office downtown. Now that the story is on the stands, I’ve been given permission by Padres Magazine to share my Fuson interview with you on 619sports.net. While the conversation primarily focuses on those drafted in 2008 and how they are progressing in 2009, I also got to ask him some questions about the new signing deadline, the difference between developing high school and college kids, and some specific questions about the struggles of Allan Dykstra, questions that did not make it into the magazine article.
Interesting enough, I thought, to share with all you Padres and baseball fans who visit our site. So, enjoy a conversation with Grady Fuson!
