- Commentary: While he is only 26 years old heading into the 2013 season, Bryan Patrick Altman's aspirations of playing baseball professionally have hit a bit of a snag. After being drafted from The Citadel, Altman struggled to hit minor league pitching. In 2011, he hit for a .189 average with 0 home runs and 9 rbi's in 44 games between the Fort Wayne Wizards of the Single A Midwest League and the San Antonio Missions of the AA Texas League. He did a bit better the following year, hitting a home run and driving in 7 for the Missions before being called up to the Tucson Padres. But in three games, he went hitless in five at bats (drew a walk), and on June 28, Altman was released by the Padres. He is now a free agent and will be looking for a new organization to take him in as the 2013 season gets underway.
