| Biography: |
Infielder marks his fourth season in the Padres system after beginning his career in the Pirates chain ... was originally signed by the Pirates as a non-drafted free agent, Dec. 18, 1998 ... was traded to the Padres for a player to be named, Jan. 13, 2000 ... the Pirates acquired RHP Luis Andujar to complete the deal, May 18, 2000.
Had a decent season in his first taste of AAA pitching. Batted .252 with a .321 OBP and .371 SLG. Hit 5 HRs and drove in 35 in 278 ABs, his 18 doubles ranked 4th on the team. Also registered a very solid 23/30 BB/K ratio. His biggest contribution was his versatility. Ben played every position except 2B and CF, with most of his time being spent at 3B (47 games) and catcher (23 games). Even pitched a perfect inning. Most impressively, Risinger made only 4 errors despite being moved around so much. Next Season – Ben should have a similar role on next year’s Portland club and his offensive numbers should improve after this year’s experience. I expect Ben to be a big contributor for the 2004 team.
