Two articles on recently acquired Adam Hyzdu:
Hyzdu seizes opportunity (Cincinnati Post). This one’s from 2002, while he was a member of the Pirates. [via Leeeny's Mien]
Hyzdu wastes no time (Padres.com). He says center field is his favorite position.
Also, I’ve added a few more links over there on the right. Thanks for the suggestions; keep ‘em [...]
Chin Waggers are playing tomorrow and Saturday night at Janie’s in Chula Vista if anyone’s interested in seeing some old guys make a lot of noise and generally act like idiots. I’ll be busting out my new “I Have Gas” t-shirt. Hey, we’re all about class.
Anyway, here are a few items of potential interest:
Loretta, Padres [...]
John Sickels has posted some projections for Sean Burroughs. Here’s the piece that led to the community projections.
So, anyone here want to give it a go? Assume 500 AB, give me BA/OBP/SLG. Here’s my guess:
.304/.362/.432
I know it’s high, but I’m looking for a breakout year. How about you?
So are you itching for the regular season to begin, or is that just me? Quick reminder that my Padres Preview is up over at Baseball Think Factory. Check it out, leave some comments.
A few items of note:
San Diego Padres ace Peavy feels he’ll be ready for home opener (Canadian Press). From trainer Todd Hutcheson: [...]
When the light’s on, it’s less dangerous. I feel stupid and contagious. But enough about me.
Welcome to Ducksnorts. To my current readers, this is the cool thing I’ve been talking about for a while. Was it good for you? (Hint: the answer is yes.) To those of you just stumbling onto us for the first [...]
Thanks to a late night out with my singer on Saturday, I overslept on Sunday morning and didn’t make it to Yuma till the top of the second. On the bright side, we got to play a semi-acoustic version of “Stacy’s Mom” to a near-empty house in an obscure part of town.
As for the game [...]
It’s up: Looking Forward to 2005: San Diego Padres Preview. Have a read, let me know how you like it. Thanks again to everyone for the excellent suggestions. I tried to incorporate as many of them as possible. Sorry if I missed yours.
Yuma, Anyone?
I’m heading out there for this afternoon’s game against the Snakes. [...]
Ryan Klesko’s disappearing power? Guess someone forgot to tell Klesko: he smacked two homers in a 16-7 victory over the Rox.
Chris Lindshield at SportsCentral identifies Mark Loretta as The Most Underrated Player in Baseball. Damn straight he is.
Over at San Diego Spotlight, Rich Campbell is calling for the Pads to extend Ramon Hernandez‘ contract. He’s [...]
I should be working on the preview, but despite your best efforts, I’m still having trouble motivating myself to write about Darrell May. The best I can say is that “more left-handed than Ismael Valdez” is gaining momentum as a catchphrase.
Speaking of May, he struggled again in Wednesday’s loss to Oakland. Everyone is downplaying it, [...]
I’m about three-quarters of the way through with my Padres Preview for BTF. Here’s a sneak peak at a player near and dear to our hearts, Khalil Greene:
