In my column on Thursday, one of the guys I talked about was Jon Knott, an outfielder in the Padres system. Well, yesterday the Padres promoted Knott to the big-league club. I'm a Dodgers fan, so Knott's success could hurt my team's playoff chances, but I'm still rooting hard for him. Keep an eye on him.
