Baseball America’s 2002 Preseason All-America Teams
Not entirely baseball related but very amusing nonetheless: The Cheap Seats Bar & Grill Holy smokes: Stat Based Baseball Baseball America has released its Preseason All-America teams. Former Padre draftees Alberto Concepcion (Southern Cal, C, 1999, 2nd round) and Kevin Howard (Miami, 3B, 1999, 22nd round) made the Second Team, as did San Diego State [...]

Happy New Year
Happy New Year! I’m back. Putting the finishing touches on the Padres Top 30 prospects. Thanks to a few recent acquisitions it’s actually going to be the Top 31. Already did a writeup on Jason Anderegg, so he’ll be in there at #31. That first installment will be ready to go this Friday. Hope you [...]
Happy Holidays

Padres Trade Reese to Yankees for Castro
Had a blast Saturday night hooking up with a bunch of Scoresheet buddies at the National Sports Grill in Torrance. Sat around, talked baseball, ate, drank, and admired the scenery. Thanks, guys! In other news, the Padres traded outfielder and USD alum Kevin Reese to the Yankees for second baseman Bernabel Castro. Reese, age 24, [...]
Jones for Everett Deal Falls Through
Thanks to a clause in Bobby Jones’ contract which stipulated that the Red Sox would have had to pick up his $6 million option for 2003, Carl Everett isn’t coming to San Diego. I will always be grateful to Jones for this. Everett is a decent ballplayer but he would have pushed Mark Kotsay back [...]
Padres Trade Ben Davis
As you probably know by now, the Padres have traded Ben Davis, Wascar Serrano, and Alex Arias to the Seattle Mariners for Brett Tomko, Ramon Vazquez, Tom Lampkin, and $1 million. My gut reaction on seeing this was close to horror. I still believe Davis is going to be a Mike Lieberthal type offensive player [...]
Baseball Sites of Potential Interest
Geez, where have I been? Well, among other things, I’ve been working on the Padres Top 30 prospects. I’m about 90% sure of the order I currently have, and I’m two-thirds of the way through the comments. They’ll be up in their final version shortly after the New Year. Speaking of the Pads, gotta like [...]
Where’s the ‘Trust’ in ‘Antitrust’?
I’ve written a very brief piece on the "Fairness in Antitrust in National Sports (FANS) Act of 2001." Others have articulated this better than I can but I felt that as a baseball fan, I had to say something.
