Excellent chat with Kevin Goldstein yesterday to follow up on his Top 10 list. I strongly encourage you to read the transcript if you haven’t already, but here are a few highlights: Likes Paul McAnulty’s bat but questions his glove. Also notes his ranking at #10 is an indictment of the Padres system. Mentions that [...]

Minor Deals
According to Padres.com, the Friars have inked right-handers Joe Dawley, Brian Falkenborg and Danny Patterson, and catcher Michel Hernandez to minor league deals. (Thanks to Derek in yesterday’s comments for the heads-up on this item.) Dawley, Falkenborg, and Hernandez all have had cups of coffee. Patterson has 350 big-league relief appearances under his belt over [...]
What’s Next?
I’m trying to play along with the Padres this winter and think of what kinds of moves they could make. Unfortunately, all indications are that there won’t be a lot of changes. Patience will be key for Padres (Padres.com). One of the goals of moving Terrence Long was to open up playing time for Xavier [...]
Too Sexy for a Title
Too sexy? Too lame is more like it. Anyway, here is what a couple of Royals blogs are saying about Monday’s trade: Royals Nightly doesn’t like it Royals Baseball does Everything really hinges on how well Dennis Tankersley does. If he blossoms, this could be a terrific deal for the Royals. Oh, and for any [...]
Padres Off-Season: Starting Pitchers
Today kicks off our look at how the Padres might be able to improve themselves for next year. But first, a public service announcement. Tomorrow is Election Day. As a reformed apathist (didn’t vote between 1988 and 2003; not proud of it, but what’s done is done), I’d like to encourage everyone out there to [...]
This, That, and Whatever
So I finally got broadband this weekend. The speed is nice, but what I really dig is that now I can update Ducksnorts while watching the game in the living room. Pretty cool. I’m running out of good things to say about Khalil Greene. That bomb he hit yesterday at Montreal tied the Padre record [...]
Title, Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
World Series of Blog competition ends tomorrow, and we’re down, 283-218, to Blue Jay Way. I am keeping the faith, but it’s not looking real good right about now. I’m still recovering from Bakersfield and Visalia (thanks to the folks who sent in suggestions for Asian Buffet places; we ended up staying in Tulare and [...]
More Bullet Points
Hate to do another one of these, but I’m totally out of gas. Just a few things to mention, so let’s get to them. Not to belabor the point, but I have yet to speak with anyone who isn’t completely baffled by Kerry Robinson’s presence on the Padres roster. Can’t we talk Marvell Wynne out [...]
Mailbag
Friday was supposed to be mailbag day, but somebody was pretty bummed and beat after Thursday night’s debacle against the Devil Rays. The Padres are not playing inspired or intelligent baseball right now, and I’m having trouble writing inspired or intelligent analysis. This is the first real bad streak they’ve had all year and it [...]
