First off, the Lahman Database abso-freakin-lutely rocks. Everybody knows this, but it still has to be said. An article in yesterday’s U-T talks about Adam Eaton taking the next big step and realizing his immense talent this season. It mentions that Eaton is fully recovered from August 2001 elbow surgery and looking for better results. [...]

Free Agent Update
How ’bout those Chargers? 10-3 and marching toward a playoff berth. Led by a quarterback who hadn’t done much in his first two years and in whom many folks had lost faith. Remind you of anyone? In baseball news, according to ESPN, 58 players have signed big-league contracts so far. All but one of those [...]
Arbitration
We’re launching an 800+ page web site tomorrow that I’ve been working on since August and I’m fried, so we’ll keep this short and sweet. According to ESPN’s Transactions page the Padres have offered arbitration to David Wells. Yahoo! backs it up, noting that they now have until January 8 to work out a deal. [...]
Dennys Reyes
The Padres have signed LHP Dennys Reyes to a 1-year deal worth $550k. Earlier this month we identified Reyes as a guy Kevin Towers and company should target. You had to figure the Pads would grab another lefty. And with Glendon Rusch staying in Chicago, that left John Halama, Ron Villone, and Reyes as the [...]

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 [...]
Odds, Ends, and Points Between
Bullet points today: Wells wants guaranteed contract if he returns to Padres (U-T). I love what David Wells has done for this ballclub, in terms of on-field performance and the impact he’s had on the kids. Signing Wells on the cheap this past winter was a brilliant move. But a large part of what made [...]
You Just Keep Me Hangin’ On
So the Pads managed to hang on in the opener at Wrigley, 8-6. By the time I got home from work, Mark Prior was already out of the game and Adam Eaton wasn’t far behind. I don’t know what Prior’s problem was, but I do know that when you knock him out of the game [...]
Insert Witty Title Here
So the Padres took another series, this one against the Reds. I didn’t catch the first few innings, but I understand that the visitors squandered numerous opportunities against a less-than-stellar Jake Peavy. By the time I got home to watch the game, the Padres were in the process of tying it up in the fourth. [...]
