I think last seasons record lulled the FO into thinking that despite some offensive flaws, the team was sound and capable of winning 90 games. I notice that we arent hearing about the depth of the roster anymore.

Truthfully, I hope the Padres continue to play horribly. That might be the only way Towers/Alderson will make changes.

After getting pretty well slammed for this comment last time I posted it, I still don’t see where the offense is going to greatly improve with the current lineup. (If “improvement” is defined as increasing OPS+ from 65 to 95, then the point is truly being missed.)

This is still a bad offensive team even if\when Greene and Iguchi go on a hot streak. This team is put together with a “take-and-rake” sensibility. Overall, however, the OBP and SLG numbers are atrocious and not likely to turn around anytime soon. Not a very encouraging situation.

Here’s a metaphor that some of y’all can understand. If my computer performed like the Padre offense, I would have hit CTL+ALT+DEL to find the processes and applications that aren’t responding. Then, realizing that my computer is sorely underpowered to run Vista, I would have installed Linux. Or, just swallowed hard and bought a new iMac or Dell XPS laptop.

#39@LynchMob: I bet he’d be around the best hitter on the team still at 48. He might be faster than a couple guys too…

Could Clark be any slower? I hate this.
