		<description>The Padres expected bench gets second place (behind the Brewers and ahead of the Cardinals) in Jeff Sackmann's brief column in THT.  I'd not thought of it as that good, but the judgement seems fair on reflection.

		<description>Sledge is on fire! I love it! I'm about ready to pick him up in my fantasy league, just for kicks. I already have three Pads on the team, though, I don't want to go too crazy.

BTW the recent comments thing is great.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-35714"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>20: He should probably be worth around $20M from '08-'10, but I expect he'll get some over $30M if he signs a 3 year deal.  Also, it might take more than 3 years to get a deal done and I think we're going to start to see a pretty serious drop in his on-field value three years from now.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-35713"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>What do y'all think it will take for the Padres to resign Mike Cameron?  The market is a bit nuts right now, but there are a plethora of CF's available as FA's at the end of this year (Andruw Jones, Torii Hunter, Milton Bradley, Eric Byrnes, Aaron Rowand, et al)...&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-35712"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>13 - LOL.  I'm visiting a friend in Phoenix this weekend who goes to ASU, and he's trying to convince me that Phoenix is the greatest place to live on earth when you factor in cost.
