Padres optioned RHP Pat Neshek to Triple-A Tucson.

Padres designated RHP Pat Neshek for assignment.

The move was made because Ernesto Frieri will be activated from the disabled list soon and the Padres needed a roster spot. Neshek wasn't terrible for San Diego, but they never seemed to trust him, probably because he had control problems throughout the season. He finished with a 4.01 ERA over 25 appearances, but had a 1.66 WHIP mostly due to a terrible 20/22 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 innings. Another organization could very well take a chance on him. Neshek's career ERA is 3.21 over 157 appearances.
