2011 in review: Durango spent most of last season at the Triple-A level, hitting .257 with 24 RBIs and 28 steals for Tucson and Oklahoma City. He played two games for the Astros, going 1-for-6.
Career highlight: Playing for the Padres, Durango recorded his first major-league hit and stolen base against the Diamondbacks on Sept. 16, 2009. He played 28 big-league games in 2010, hitting .250 with five steals with the Padres.
Outlook: Durango, who is battling Jose Constanza and Jordan Parraz for a backup outfielder spot, hit .500 with five walks in his first six games this spring. Like Constanza, he provides speed and pinch-running capabilities.
