PADRES UPDATE : NOTEBOOK : 25-Man Roster Just About Set

The Padres, who still have 31 players in camp, are expected to make their final cuts in Las Vegas on Saturday. If no trades are made, their 25-man roster will look like this:

Infield: Fred McGriff, Kurt Stillwell, Tony Fernandez, Gary Sheffield, Tim Teufel and Craig Shipley.

Outfield: Tony Gwynn, Darrin Jackson, Jerald Clark, Oscar Azocar, Kevin Ward and Thomas Howard.

Starting pitchers: Bruce Hurst, Greg Harris, Andy Benes, Craig Lefferts and Dave Eiland.

Relief pitchers: Randy Myers, Larry Andersen, Mike Maddux, Jose Melendez, Pat Clements and Rich Rodriguez.

Catchers: Benito Santiago and Dann Bilardello.

Hurst completed his final tuneup of the spring by allowing six hits and three earned runs in six innings. His next outing will be opening day in Cincinnati.

“I had a pretty good spring,” Hurst said. “I stayed healthy and didn’t get anybody killed.”
