First-Half Grades: Catcher
It’s like pitching a tent in your backyard, only not quite as much fun. S’mores, anyone? With the exception of a few at-bats wasted on the useless Doug Mirabelli, catcher has been an unbelievably strong position for the Padres. And, as with the bullpen, the guys who are getting the job done have been acquired [...]
First-Half Grades: Relief Pitchers
Trevor Hoffman, the Padres’ lone representative in tonight’s All-Star game, has a 1.03 ERA at the break. With 24 saves under his belt already, there’s a strong chance that he’ll get the 19 more he needs to pass Lee Smith for the all-time record before the season is over. And even though it seems like [...]

Friday Links (30 Jun 06)
That has got to be just about the stupidest way to lose a game. If you walk a guy hitting .082/.167/.184 with the bases loaded in the 14th inning, you’re not seriously trying to win. On to the links: Mid-Season Blockbusters: June (Part Three: 1975-2005) (Hardball Times). The analysis of Gary Sheffield for Trevor Hoffman [...]
