Padres designate Spence, Tekotte for assignment

The Padres have designated pitcher Josh Spence and outfielder Blake Tekotte for assignment. The moves allow the Padres to add Cory Luebke, Joe Wieland, Nick Hundley, Kyle Blanks and James Darnell to the 40 man roster,  Those players were reinstated from the disabled list.

Spence spent most of the 2012 season in Triple-A, posting a 4.20 ERA in 31 appearances. Tekotte hit .243 with 9 home runs in Triple-A during the 2012 season.

Analysis: Some team might claim Spence and try to use him as a left handed specialist, considering that he is still young and has some upside. Tekotte has had some minor league experience, but I don't expect him to be claimed.
