Congratulations to Dynasty client, Robert Lara, for being named to the Arizona Rookie League All-Star Team.  Robert has definitely made Padres executives very happy about selecting him in the nineteenth round.  In a post made yesterday on Paul DePodesta’s blog, he had this to say about Lara:

Round 19 – Robert Lara, signed, Arizona – A 6′2″ catcher from the University of Central Florida, Robert has absolutely raked in Arizona. He has hit .344 with a .492 obp and a .483 slg. He has more walks than strikeouts, is 2nd in the league in obp (behind Decker), and 5th in average. Overall, he’s had a tremendous start to his career.

Nice words coming from the special assistant for baseball operations for the San Diego Padres.  Besides Lara, the AZL Padres have two other all-stars: Jaff Decker (who was also named league MVP) and Stiven Osuna.  Congratulations to all, and super props to our boy, Robert Lara.
