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:
“The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
