Any comments on the methodology they used? How can they begin to factor negative age and player synergy? There's lots of time to adjust the rosters, so not much to be concerned about now anyhow.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-34152">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> A very early projection referred to today on baseball musings has the Padres 2nd 8 games behind the Giants.

I think it's a little pessimistic on Adrian Gonzalez, .289/.350/.475 but that's nothing to complain about. On the pitching side everyone looks pretty good. They have Hensley sliding to a 4.14 ERA but that's still pretty good for the #4 starter. If everyone hits these projections I'd say we have a very good shot at a division three-peat.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-34134">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Padres ZiPS projections are up at BTF:

All they have to do is get there and win it. It's clearly enough that I can buy a round or two at the next DS Meet up. Hold me to it if the Chargers take the Super Bowl. You're right about a great year for SD sports. Division champions in baseball and Division Champs in football (and still counting). Happy New Years everyone. Be careful out there tonight.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-34130">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Rich, I managed to get down a few more than a $2.
