San Antonio Missions - 2010 Season

2010 Season

On December 1, 2009, the Padres announced Kennedy and his coaching staff would be promoted to the Triple-A Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League for the 2010 season, and the Missions would be managed by Doug Dascenzo, who managed the Single-A Fort Wayne TinCaps to the best regular-season record in minor league baseball and a Midwest League title in 2009.

The 2010 Texas League All-Star Game, hosted by the division rival Midland RockHounds, featured seven Missions players – including three starters. Pitchers Simón Castro, Wynn Pelzer, Craig Italiano and Evan Scribner were selected to represent the Missions along with catcher Luis Martinez, first baseman Matt Clark and outfielder Cedric Hunter. Just before the game, Cedric was promoted to the Triple-A Portland Beavers, allowing utility infielder Andy Parrino to attend the All-Star Game in his place.

On July 29 the San Diego Padres traded Wynn Pelzer to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for slugging infielder Miguel Tejada and cash.

Famous quotes containing the word season:

    She, O, she is fallen
    Into a pit of ink, that the wide sea
    Hath drops too few to wash her clean again
    And salt too little which may season give
    To her foul tainted flesh!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
