MLB Note - San Diego Padres Margot, Manuel

Sep 26, 2017 - 9:48 AM OF Manny Margot turns 23 on Thursday and will end the season with an impressive rookie campaign. He is hitting .270 with a .321 on-base percentage and 18 home runs and 17 steals. In his last eight games, he's hitting .345 (10-29).`` I think Manny's done some really good things and his consistency's been right at the top of the list," manager Andy Green said last week. "I think his ceiling is higher. When we spoke last week, he kept saying `I can be better, I need to work harder.' You love to have a guy who had a very solid rookie campaign look back and say 'I'm better than that.'''
