I haven’t had the chance yet to read your write-ups, but what made you rate Adys Portillo so high and where do you see him in the San Diego system in 2009?

Kevin Goldstein: I think next year you aren’t gong to see him in the box scores except maybe in the Arizona League for a few innings. He’s kind of the definition of a kid; he was born in 1991, which really makes me feel very old. His ranking is a reflection of two things; one it says as much about his talent as it does for what is in the system.

I spent a lot of time following the Michel Inoa story [the 16-year-old pitcher signed by the Oakland A’s for $4.25 million]. A lot of people talked about him being the second best arm in the Dominican, and in a year without Inoa, he would be considered the best arm there. He was a pitcher a lot of teams wanted very much. He has the projection you look for and was much better than the usual arm you would find for that age in the market. He made my top 100 as well, although around the bottom of the list. He was a really nice talent and the ceiling is through the roof, but the key is you really have to exercise patience. He’s not going to be in San Diego in a few years. The Padres need to get him used to being a professional, on an exercise regimen and schedule and to learn what it takes to be a professional player.
