Padres top position prospect Luis Urias has had an up and down season.  He didn't make the Padres out of spring training, then went 2 for 24 with 11 strikeouts once he was called up in April, resulting in Urias being sent back down to Triple-A to refine his swing.  Urias was recalled to the bigs in July, and continued to struggle, but may have found his groove in September, having his best offensive month of the season.  In the month of September, Urias has racked up 20 hits and a slash line of .308/.366/.400, to go along with a homer, 3 doubles, and 7 RBIs.
