Gyorko Leads the Way


With Logan Forsythe suffering from plantar fasciitis, looks like Gyorko may be the lead candidate to take over 2B duties heading into the season.  Gyorko's been mashing the ball this spring and has 3 HR's and an OPS of over 900. If he indeed won the starting job he could be one of the biggest sleepers of the draft.  Power hitting third baseman converted to a middle infielder should have fantasy managers drooling. Between AA/AAA Gyorko boasted a .311 AVG, 30 HR's and 100 RBI's. At the end of last season when Quentin came back and was healthy, the entire team starting hitting well and with the fences getting pulled in at Petco you might not be as hesitant to grab more Padres on your fantasy squads this season. 
Projected Line Up for the Padres could look like this:

1) E.Cabrera SS
2) W.Venable RF
3) C.Headley 3B
4) C.Quentin LF
5) J.Gyorko 2B
6)  Y.Alonso 1B
7) C.Maybin CF
8) N.Hundley C
9) Pitcher

Also don't forget the Padres will be getting Yasmani Grandal back when he returns from his 50 game suspension.
