- The Elsinore-High Desert game report is almost ready. I have all my notes together; now it’s just a matter of cleaning things up a little. Should be up tomorrow.
- In other news, ESPN did a good article on former MLB players in Japan a few days ago. And, if that sort of thing interests you, check out former Padre Buddy Carlyle’s thoughts on playing in Japan. It’s an excellent read.
- Here’s an interesting piece on rotator-cuff surgery I stumbled onto while searching for information about Justin Thompson.
- Closer to home, the Padres apparently are talking to Arizona about Sterling Hitchcock. San Diego is rumored to be interested in Erubiel Durazo. The Union-Tribune reports that while Durazo might be a bit much to expect straight up, the Pads have had their eye on fellow lefty hitter David Dellucci since March.
Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.
