OBG08: Cameron, Hampson, and Others

OBG08: Le Menu Josh Bard/Michael Barrett Adrian Gonzalez Tadahito Iguchi Kevin Kouzmanoff Khalil Greene Scott Hairston Chase Headley Jim Edmonds Brian Giles Jake Peavy Chris Young Greg Maddux Trevor Hoffman Heath Bell Cla Meredith Welcome to the back end of the bullpen. It's hard to say who, exactly, will be here. I'm assuming that Kevin Cameron and Justin Hampson will be back -- possibly even pitching in meaningful situations now that Doug Brocail is gone. Beyond Cameron and Hampson, the Padres have plenty of options: Michael Gardner, Enrique Gonzalez, Carlos Guevara, Wil Ledezma, Joe Thatcher, Mauro Zarate, and probably some others I'm forgetting. I won't bother with all those guys, although you're more than welcome to include them in your guesses. Cameron: ...

Review the Preview: Pitchers

Monday, October 8, 2007
by Geoff Young
We're looking back at my preseason predictions for the Padres. Last week we examined the hitters; today we turn our attention to the moundsmen... Rotation Jake Peavy, RHP What I said: "If he's going to maintain his place among the elite pitchers in baseball, Peavy really needs to become more efficient." What happened: From a visual standpoint, it seemed like Peavy had less trouble putting hitters away once he got ahead of them in the count. Unfortunately I cannot find anything in the statistical record to support this. What I did notice is that the GB% (percentage of balls in play that resulted in ground balls) against Peavy jumped from 38% in ...
