Established Win Shares

Woody’s Knuckler
First off, what a great win on Sunday, and what a great way to do it. After those first two losses in Atlanta and being completely dominated by John Thomson for six innings, to overcome a 3-0 deficit late in the game and pull it out was huge. Now the Pads head to Denver for [...]

Brazelton Out, Hensley In
As we noted during Friday’s IGD, Clay Hensley will take Dewon “Instant Offense” Brazelton’s spot in the rotation beginning Tuesday in Denver. Both the San Diego Union-Tribune and Padres.com have confirmed this. Good to see the guy with the career 2.39 ERA get the nod over the guy with the career 6.42 ERA.
