Dave Roberts on D&C: Padres don’t want to rush Casey Kelly to majors 06.22.11 at 10:02 am ET
By Jerry Spar

Padres coach Dave Roberts joined the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning, prior to the third game of San Diego’s interleague series with the Red Sox at Fenway Park. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.

Roberts was a part of the Red Sox’ 2004 World Series championship team, and he said he never had a similar experience during his major league career. “No, I haven’t,” he said. “And I played on some very good teams, a lot of fun teams with some good guys and some nice ballplayers. But as far as the atmosphere here every single night and the group that we had and what we accomplished, it doesn’t compare.”

Roberts continues to maintain an optimistic approach despite the Padres’ slow start this season.

“Obviously, everyone knows that it’s a different market, San Diego and Boston,” he said. “But we’re going to go out there and keep playing and try to play the game the right way and see what happens after 162 games.”

The Padres acquired two high-profile Red Sox minor leaguers as part of the trade for Adrian Gonzalez in the offseason. Anthony Rizzo already has joined the major league club, while pitcher Casey Kelly remains in the minors. Roberts said it doesn’t appear likely that Kelly will be added to the major league roster this season.

“I think at some point, but I don’t know if he’s a September call-up candidate,” Roberts said. “He’s having a nice year in Double-A. He’s moving along, he’s moving along. But I don’t think they want to rush him. I think that Rizzo, he was just playing so well that he forced our hand. Casey, I had a chance to see him in spring training. There’s a lot to like.”
