I checked his road stats so far this year and it's not good. His numbers at PETCO doesn't seem that good either. That probably says more about the excellence of the Padres' pitching staff, however.

He doesn’t seem to hit that well on the road. I checked his road stats so far this year and it’s not good. His numbers at PETCO doesn’t seem that good either. That probably says more about the excellence of the Padres’ pitching staff, however.

I’m not sure the Padres should pick up his options if they do trade for him this season.

I'm all for Dunn if we can sign him to a 3 year deal, or even just pick up his option right away. 5 years is too much. Ideally I'd like to see Dunn and Ichiro in the off season but that's too much to ask for.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-52605">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Re: Dunn’s defense - UZR has him at -7 runs, which is pretty bad but slightly better than Raul Ibanez and Pat Burrell, slightly worse than Hideki Matsui.

His defense is definitely needed for the Padres. I can't see anyway that he should be traded. The Padres may have to overpay for a CF for two years this off season. I don't see any of the top tiered CF signing for fewer than 3 years contract. Patterson should not be pursued as one of the option. He's terrible.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-52604">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Khalil’s offense would be fine if the rest of the team is hitting.

This is where my frustration from #13 comes into play. I simply haven't had a chance to run numbers to argue for or against anyone. It's great that we're thinking about this stuff already, but for now the extent of my contribution has to be, I don't know yet. I hate that. ;-)<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-52603">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Agreed that the Padres need a good CF in Petco.

When a major position opens up such as CF and you have no one in your minor league system that is even close to being ready you have to spend the money to get a quality player there who can cover a lot of ground out there and not be a complete liability at the plate. I guess my point is that the padres need a good CF to be successful at Petco and there is a big difference between Ichiro/Hunter/Cameron/Jones and Byrenes/Paterson.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-52601">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Re: 19 very true and agree that staying out of the FA race last year was a good idea, they should not spend money just to spend money, but there are different needs this year.

Also KT has proven he can consistently find the diamonds in the rough when it comes to pitching, but when it comes to the position players I would have to disagree.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-52598">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Re: 17 true but finding a guy to come in and pitch 60 innings a year is a bit different than finding someone who can cover CF at petco.

Look at how the Padres have built their bullpen this year vs how the Orioles have done it for example.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-52597">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #16: True, but there’s a difference between entering the market and being a slave to it.
