Franmil Reyes

Reyes wants to hit the scoreboard, the rotation is suddenly a bit shaky, Pérez left his successor with a message, and more Indians musings.

Who's off to the best starts this season? Jim Bowden highlights the hot hitters and pitchers, and what he expects from them in 2021.

“Let’s see when Franmil hits it. Let’s see how far it goes.” The slugger embodies what fans have long coveted. So how many HRs could he hit?

"We acquired him last year for a reason and he has shown us what he’s capable of doing," said All-Star Francisco Lindor of Reyes.

How players handle themselves off the field with masks and social distancing could play a role in what unfolds on the diamond.

Often, spring training stats come with a grain of salt, but sometimes, they matter. Here are the ones you need to notice for fantasy drafts.

Long known for his impressions and outreach to teammates, Reyes is starting to put things together at the major-league level.

The rookie struggled during his initial call-up to the Padres, but since being recalled in August, he has made an impact at the plate and impressed team officials with his intelligence and aptitude.

When he returns from injury, the Padres' Wil Myers may be on track to make his first big-league start at third base and to alleviate a logjam in the outfield.

The Padres don't get on base a lot and they hope stressing plate discipline in their organization helps improve that. San Diego hasn’t completed a season with an OBP higher than .310 since 2012.
