#179@JP: Towers said last week they aren't anytime soon, so they aren't. Expect him in about two months.

Having said that, I’m still excited to see how this season ends up.

This continues to be a crappy season. That’s all.

Myrow. Don’t you almost have to get him up here as well or move him. I mean, the guy is brutalizing PAC League pitching…..

#183@jay: Great analysis. We can play it ‘half way’ – develop a few from the Farm and sign some strategic FA’s.

Headley hit another blast tonight.

Well, it looks like our future is going to be getting strategic PT to guys for next year. The only way this team competes next year is some of our talent develops to expectations, Kouz develops, and they pony up some big dollars on two key FA for next year. If that happens we could be competitive next year.

We don’t have the talent to do the DBacks where the team is very good, built on young, cheap talent without almost any FA types. I mean who is drafting for those guys and why can’t we get them?

The farm is going to give us some pieces, we have some pieces but we are going to have to buy the rest. I just hope the team does not think it can be the next Dbacks, therefore askew big FA deals in favor of trying to do everything homegrown. That will take too long.

It’s been quite well documented on this blog but just having gone through the junkyards (rosters) of what has been AAA Padre baseball – Portland 2002-2007 — it almost makes me sick. I think that it should not surprise us that the well has run dry.

Edmonds 7LOB 1st game as a Cubbie. Didn’t have that problem in SD.

Gerut made a damn good catch robbing Blanco and saving a run. Chicago announcers both agreed that it was the best catch they have seen this year at Wrigley. I think it is safe to say that Gerut does not embarass himself in center by any means.

I can’t see how the Padres cannot call up Chase Headley within the next week.
