Nice of me to show up on a Friday, eh? Here are projections for Padres hitters according to the Bill James Handbook 2007 (affiliate link), as well as the freely available Chone, Marcel and ZiPS systems. I also have included a line averaging the systems. A few general observations are in order: Bill James appears [...]

Former Padres third baseman Chris Brown is dead at age 45 due to burns suffered in a fire at his home. Very strange, sad story. A Brief History (Lookout Landing). In light [...]

Sledge to Bat Leadoff?
A Bill Center article in this morning’s San Diego Union-Tribune suggests that Terrmel Sledge could lead off for the Padres in 2007.

There’s also a club option for 2008 at $4 million. Giles still has to take a physical, but if the U-T is saying [...]
Friday Links (1 Dec 06)

Tom Krasovic reports that the Pads are looking at Tony Graffanino as a possible successor to [...]
Black Named Manager, Barfield Dealt to Cleveland
Pretty uneventful day, huh? Somehow I get the feeling “uneventful” is not a word that will ever be used to describe Sandy Alderson’s tenure with the Padres. And it’s nice to see that Kevin Towers isn’t content to rest on any laurels after receiving a contract extension. You might want to sit down for this [...]
San Diego Padres Organizational Tree
How the current Padres got here. Idea blatantly ripped off from Will Young (no relation). More details here. m Key: Italics = acquired via trade. Bold = drafted by Padres. General manager who acquired player denoted by initials in parentheses (where no initials are provided, Kevin Towers is the GM): RS = Randy Smith, JMI [...]
