Table Scraps

I’m heading out to Phoenix to catch the AFL championship on Saturday, so this will be real short. Bust out the bullet points…

  • Padres add seven to 40-man roster (Yahoo). Depending on what other moves the Padres make this winter, Brad Baker is a good bet to see material time with the big club in 2005. Tagg Bozied, J.J. Furmaniak, and outfielder Ben Johnson also could get some play. Josh Barfield, Paul McAnulty, and Sean Thompson are further away, although all are highly regarded.
  • I alluded to Old Hoss Radbourn yesterday. Here is a little more info on MLB’s only 60-game winner.
  • Ran across this article (via Across the Seams) about Giants GM Brian Sabean and his penchant for signing older players. That’s all well and good, but the cool part is the graph that shows the Pads in pretty decent territory with regard to age vs win shares. It’s kinda hard to explain. Go look at it.

Like I said, real short. Have a great weekend, and I’ll give a full trip report on Monday (or thereabouts)…
