Back to baseball. Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. As Ducksnorts undergoes changes, so do the Padres. I’ll briefly summarize recent activity. First, the Giants claimed southpaw Jason Pearson off waivers. Second, the Pads sent right-handers Jeremy Fikac and Dennis Tankersley to Mobile, and recalled lefty Oliver Perez and righty J.J. Trujillo from the same club [...]

Nevin, Burroughs, Tollberg Hurt
Oh boy, where to begin. Phil Nevin, it turns out, broke his left arm and will be out a minimum of six weeks, probably longer. Sean Burroughs, meantime, will be shut down for three weeks. The Padres are optimistic that his shoulder will not require surgery. They are less certain about Brian Tollberg. If you’re [...]
Padres Eye Hamels in Draft
The good news is, the Padres found the bats. The bad news is, everybody’s hurt. Mark Kotsay led the charge, as the Pads tallied 11 runs against Dennis Stark and company. Stark, who walked four in the first inning alone, somehow managed to work into the sixth. Kotsay drew two walks and slammed a mammoth [...]
Padres Lose to Rockies in Extra Innnigs
Tough loss last night against the Rockies. Brett Tomko worked eight strong innings but was let down by some sloppy defense, poor clutch-hitting, and a questionable decision by third-base coach Tim Flannery. With the struggling Sean Burroughs sitting out his second straight game, Phil Nevin played third and committed a first-inning error that led to [...]
Middlebrook and Peavy
Swept at Florida. Ugh. More complete absence of clutch hitting. How do you load the bases with nobody out in the fifth and still get shut out? By a rookie, making his first big-league start. Sean Burroughs’ right shoulder is bothering him. This is the same shoulder that caused him trouble at the end of [...]
Howard, Shibilo, Peavy
The Mariners have designated former Padre Wascar Serrano for assignment. I always have trouble trying to figure out what exactly that means. Thanks to the Internet, I found this handy explanation of the term. Alex Arias has already been released, so if Seattle loses Serrano, they will have given up Brett Tomko, Tom Lampkin, and [...]
Tollberg, Howard, and Nady
Some good news and some bad news. The good news is, I successfully installed Windows on my machine. And man, does it load fast now! Funny what happens when you wipe your system. The bad news is, I can’t get Windows to talk to my modem and vice versa, so for the time being, my [...]
Padres Farm Report (23 Apr 2002)
A real quick rundown on what’s going on around the Padres’ system… Portland Former big-leaguer Pete Incaviglia was released on Friday after hitting just .122/.200/.146 in 15 games. Right-hander Jason Middlebrook left Sunday’s start early thanks to a line drive off his pitching arm courtesy of Omaha’s Ken Harvey. It is not known whether Middlebrook, [...]
Brett Tomko, Ben Howard, and Jose Rijo
I’ve been critical of the Ben Davis trade, mainly because I’m not all that thrilled with Ramon Vazquez. His upside looks like 1998 Chris Gomez, which isn’t all that bad but isn’t really worth Davis in my opinion. But yesterday one of the other guys who came over in the deal, Brett Tomko, made a [...]
Burroughs, Backstop Woes, and Mound Ball
So, who thought that Sean Burroughs would hit his first homer before drawing his first walk in the big leagues? Yeah, me neither. The Padres need Wiki Gonzalez back. Or Ben Davis. Tom Lampkin and Javier Cardona are 2-for-44 on the year. Tag Bozied saw his first action at third base last night at Bakersfield. [...]
