    Padres Burroughs called up, Quantrill designated

    The Story

    Posted on Wed, Aug. 31, 2005

    Sean Burroughs rejoins San Diego Padres

    BERNIE WILSON
    Associated Press

    SAN DIEGO - Third baseman Sean Burroughs rejoined the San Diego Padres for the stretch drive on Wednesday, 5 1/2 weeks after being demoted to Triple-A to try to regain his batting stroke.

    Burroughs, whose average had dropped to .255 when he was sent down to the Portland Beavers on July 23, will be used as a pinch-hitter and to give third baseman Joe Randa an occasional rest.

    To make room for Burroughs, right-handed reliever Paul Quantrill was designated for assignment.

    Burroughs batted .290 with three home runs, eight doubles, 14 RBIs and 21 runs in 32 games with the Beavers.

    With the Padres, he had just one homer and 15 RBIs in 78 games.

    Burroughs was sent down the same day the Padres acquired Randa from the Cincinnati Reds for two minor leaguers. Randa has hit .242 with three homers and 10 RBIs with San Diego. He hit a go-ahead homer in Tuesday night's 7-5 win over Arizona, which gave the Padres a 5 1/2-game lead in the NL West and pulled them to one game below .500 at 65-66.

    The Padres tried to trade Burroughs earlier this season, but ended up optioning him to Triple-A. Burroughs, the son the son of former AL MVP Jeff Burroughs, has shown a remarkable lack of power, hitting only 11 homers since he made his big league debut in 2002.

    Quantrill made 22 appearances, going 1-1 with a 3.41 ERA. He was acquired on July 2 from the New York Yankees, who had demoted him two days earlier, in exchange for struggling pitchers Darrell May and Tim Redding.

    Damn, Quantrill was serviceable and is a veteren. They should've designated Woody Williams and moved Hensley to the rotation until Astacio gets back from the DL

    Quantrill will probably be back up when the rosters expand anyway
