When is the draft anyway? I think both Coletti and Sabean have "win now, trade farm talent" tendencies (Sheehan called Coletti a "digger wasp" in that apparently digger wasps hollow out hives they find, meaning Coletti was hollowing out the Dodgers; I looked them up on wikipedia and they leave paralyzed insects in the nest for their larvae to eat, so not sure of the metaphor but it sounds about the worst way to go in the insect kingdom), don't know much about the Rockies, but Arizona will probably be young, good and stocked for awhile.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-43287">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> 11: I am excited about all the picks we got with all the FA’s we lost; with the management the Padres have, and sounds of relative looseness with signing bonuses (I hope they have a running comparison of Stephen Drew and Matt Bush at the bottom of every e-mail they send to Moores) they have made, there is reason to hope that the Padres can re-stock the farm system over the next few years.

Mi hijo means "my son" in Spanish and it's a common term of endearment. This nickname works on a few levels, it's Spanish so it plays on his heritage, he's from San Diego so it plays on him being a son of the city. And it's just damn fun to yell, it's the kind of a nickname a stadium can chant.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-43286">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I think Adrian’s nickname should be “mi hijo” (pronounced me-ho).

In best 25 (24 last year) and under talent they moved from 30th to 22nd.

Kouzmanoff checks in at 11, Hunter's at 31, and Chad Huffman at 45.
