I don’t have a lot of links today, so before we get to those, let’s do a quick recap of this winter’s moves so far: Out Geoff Blum, INF: Signed with Houston Astros Hiram Bochachica, INF/OF: Signed with Seibu Lions (Japan) Milton Bradley, OF: Signed with Texas Rangers Doug Brocail, RHP: Signed with Houston Astros [...]

Operation Center Field: Acquiring Targets

by Geoff Young on Nov 14, 2007 (66) Comments

Now that we’ve identified potential trade targets, let’s move to the next logical step and consider what it might cost to acquire said targets. This exercise consists in determining a) what your partner needs and b) what you (i.e., the Padres) have to offer. The order of these two, as I’ve learned over many years [...]

Hey, look, it’s links… A nod to good management and a nudge to spend more (Friar Forecast). MB gives the Padres front office staff props for procuring good talent on a small budget, but would like to see what they could do with more money. ‘Tainted supplement’ excuse outmoded (San Diego Union-Tribune). I love Victor [...]

I’m making excellent progress on the book. Drafts of two chapters — Best by Position in Padres History, Kevin Towers Trade Register — are complete, and I’ve gotten started on two more — Player Dashboards and Commentary, Overlooked ex-Padres. I love my job. (And I’m trying hard not to become one of those annoyingly happy [...]

Operation Center Field: Framing the Problem

by Geoff Young on Oct 18, 2007 (122) Comments

I’ve been dreading this post (series of posts, really), been avoiding the subject for several months because it’s complex and difficult to frame. I’m still not ready to write about it in any meaningful way, but we can’t put it off any longer. Maybe the exercise itself will help us. The Problem Mike Cameron‘s contract [...]

I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

by Geoff Young on Sep 12, 2007 (29) Comments

If Tuesday night’s opener provides any indication, this series in Los Angeles is going to be tough. Sure, the final score was 9-4, but the Dodgers just would not go away. The Padres even had to get Trevor Hoffman up and warming at the end. Jake Gets It Done Jake Peavy came back strong after [...]

Friday Links (7 Sep 07)

Thanks for all the kind words on Thursday. I try not to get too sentimental around here, but sometimes I just can’t help myself. That reminds me, as promised, I’ve got an article on the ’93 Fire Sale up at Hardball Times. Those of you who suffered through Tom Werner’s dismantling of the team might [...]

Overlooked Players in Padres History

by Geoff Young on Jun 28, 2007 (70) Comments

Shifting gears a little, one idea I have for the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual is a chapter devoted to three or so former Padres that didn’t make our lists of top players in franchise history (2007 Annual) but whose accomplishments deserve attention. I’m knee deep in the 1969 season, so one of my subjects will [...]
