		<description>#17@&lt;a href="#comment-300238" rel="nofollow"&gt;SDSUBaseball&lt;/a&gt;: That sentiment actually comes from BA's analysis. I think the short answer is that somebody at BA didn't look real closely at the Padres system.&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-300244"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>I am choosing this moment to announce my intention to purchase the San Diego Padre franchise. It's certainly possible that I may need additional investors to accumulate the necessary funds.

		<description>If the Padres remain part of Moores' property going into the divorce settlement then its quite plausible that the stock owned by John Moores will be seen as community property and split down the middle between Becky and John. Only way that won't happen is if John keeps that but gives Becky something to make up the difference in cost. Either way that doesn't speak well for the potential financial future of the Padres&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-300138"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>Looks like Moores is going to sell 49% of the Padres as part of his divorce settlement.  Any thoughts?  2 possible San Diego families are interested in purchasing.  Does Moores own 100% Might be a dumb question.

		<description>#6@&lt;a href="#comment-300091" rel="nofollow"&gt;Pat&lt;/a&gt;: I'm not seeing "OPS+" at the link Schlom provided ...

What I do see is "sOPS+" and "tOPS+" ... and if you click on the column header, you get these definitions ... 

tOPS+ - OPS+ of this split relative to the player or team's overall OPS

sOPS+ - OPS+ of this split relative to the major league OPS for this split


So the pitchers had an sOPS+ = 138 ... which I interp to mean they hit 38% better than the average pitchers across MLB ...

The tOPS+ = 19 just means that they hit 81% worse than then non-pitchers on the Padres ... which really only means that the tOPS+ values for non-pitchers are inflated because they include some relativity to the pitchers ...&lt;p class="top-comments"&gt;Current score: &lt;span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-300122"&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
