Padres Hopeful Ben Graham Powers Spring Foray
San Diego Padres manager Rip Collings lists Jack Graham as a key power hitter to bolster a lineup lean on right-handed bats. Graham, with 24 home runs last season, has sharpened his eye in winter ball and will anchor the Padres’ attack alongside new acquisitions such as Flores, Wade, and Budniek. The club aims for a return to first-division play after a slump in 1947, with pitching improvements and a potential shortstop upgrade to help balance the roster.
