Time to nerd out! On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, Javier is joined by Jeff Ellis (host of the Locked On Indians podcast) to discuss the almost quiet hiring of Ruben Niebla to be the Padres new pitching coach. The two discuss his remarkable resume with Cleveland, how Jeff was sad to see him go, what this says about the Padres future in the pitching department, and some minor league stories! Plus, revisiting the Mike Clevinger trade and whether or not the Padres trading away Cal Quantrill was a huge mistake.
