#6@JP: Absolutely right, JP. He's the starting LF on my personal All Time Padres team. Of course I would start Gwynn or Winfield in LF and the other in RF, but they are both truly RF, imo, so going by a strict positional depth chart it's Richards in LF with "Mellow," Carmelo Martinez, #2 on the depth chart, Gwynn #1 in RF and Winfield #2 on the depth chart at that corner.

#6@JP: I've got Richards as the No. 8 Padres player of all time on my site. Maybe he'll hit .400 this year.

In memory of Updike, here’s a phenomenal article almost 5 decades old.

Gene Richards “Geno” is probably one of my favorite Padres of all time. If you look at his numbers, the guy actually had some pretty darn good years (offensively) –perhaps 5 really good seasons in a Padres uniform before he faded away at age 30.

#3@Ryan: Cool. Bill James is GM of the Red Sox team; now I can say that I beat him at something.

On a more bizarre note, we are leading the league with a .388 OBP through 11 games. This includes teams with, oh, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Barry Bonds in their lineups. Gene Richards (.429/.500/.592) is a beast.

I concur. This Seamheads league is choice. I note you managed a couple stellar wins over the Red Sox and Yanks this past week (the game winning double by Tony off Papelbon was outstanding). That would seem to bode well for our humble expansion Padres.
