SAN DIEGO -- Twenty-nine teams had the chance to add Franmil Reyes on the cheap last December. Twenty-nine teams passed.
Hard to believe, given the evolution of the hulking right fielder into a fearsome presence in the heart of the Padres' lineup. No doubt, there are more than a few clubs that would love to have a bat like his.
Reyes -- who was left unprotected in last year's Rule 5 Draft, but wasn't chosen -- extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI single in the third inning Tuesday night.
