I was wondering if the reason was that Jenga can bat and so, he can PH. Still, Silent L shouldn't be in LF. 93: There aren't many complete all around hitters in the league let alone in a team. Still, singling out Khalil is SILLY. Perhaps, it's because he's homegrown and popular.

They could really use the extra guy out there. Blum should never have to start in LF, despite the fact that he's done a good job out there for the most part.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-69556">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I wonder if the Padres regret not putting Bradley on the DL.

The Padres have to be careful and not rush Jenga though. And I was also thinking earlier, wouldn't it have been nice if Hairston - a guy who was finally showing his potential for maybe the first time in his career, finally breaks out and helps the Padres in a big way. It was such a slap in the face to Hairston that the DBACKS traded him to an interdivisional rival/contender in a pennant race. I really hope we are talking about this particular trade on a blog, fifteen years from now as it is extremely rare for a first place club to trade an active roster player to a close contender. Anyway, two great moves for KT in bringing these guys in for, I don't want to say nothing (Brown is pitching well for the A's) but at a great price and now they are both players that have showed top, game winning performance.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-69554">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #89 This is a given and therefore I shouldn’t be wasting your time with it but , boy oh boy do they really need Milton Bradley in this lineup right now.
