Forsythe came into this season as the Padres’ #13 prospect according to Baseball America. Forstyhe played in 62 games for the Padres this year and he was 32 for 150 (.213 avg, .568 OPS) with 12 runs scored, 0 homers, 12 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. He also played in 46 games in AAA-ball this year and he was 58 for 178 (.326 avg, .973 OPS) with 41 runs scored, 8 homers, 34 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. The Padres hope that Forsythe will be ready to compete next spring for a job on the team in 2012.
