Brad Boxberger - R - Padres

Padres purchased the contract of RHP Brad Boxberger from Triple-A Tucson.

Acquired over the offseason in the Mat Latos deal, Boxberger has posted a disappointing 4.70 ERA at Tucson this season but has also struck out 35 over 23 innings. He figures to work the middle innings initially but could easily find himself in a late-innings role before long.

Brad Boxberger gave up three runs and took a loss in relief Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

It seems safe to say the relief prospect the Padres got back from the Reds in the Mat Latos deal won't make the team out of spring training. Boxberger's ERA actually dropped to 30.86 today.

Padres acquired RHPs Brad Boxberger and Edinson Volquez, 1B/OF Yonder Alonso and C Yasmani Grandal from the Reds for RHP Mat Latos.

Boxberger is the lesser name in the deal, but he was looking like a potential closer of the future for the Reds. The 2009 supplemental first-round pick had a 2.03 ERA and a 93/28 K/BB ratio in 62 inings between Double- and Triple-A last season. Boxberger throws 92-95 mph and has a surprisingly good changeup to go along with his slider. He could win a spot in the Padres bullpen next spring and become one of the team’s top relievers quickly.

Brad Boxberger - R - Padres

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said relief prospect Brad Boxberger will be given a shot during spring training to compete for a spot in the major league bullpen.

It was the answer Jocketty gave when asked if Boxberger would get a shot to be the closer. While thrusting the 23-year-old into the ninth inning probably isn't likely, there's no doubt that Boxberger is an exciting option for the bullpen. He posted a 2.03 ERA and 93/28 K/BB ratio over 62 innings between Double- and Triple-A in 2011.
