Padres option Will Middlebrooks to Triple-A
The Padres have sent Will Middlebrooks down to Triple-A. In a corresponding move they have called up outfielder Abraham Almonte.
What It Means:
It turns out a change of scenery didn't do Will Middlebrooks much good this season. He has a -1.33 nERD, which puts him way below a league average hitter. More specifically, his nERD is last on the Padres and ranks 352nd among all batters. He is producing a .261 wOBA and we were projecting it go down to .250 for the remainder of the season, so there wasn't much to be hopeful about with Middlebrooks.
