Monday, October 24, 2005by Geoff Young
We continue our look back at the 2005 season today with one of the most problematic positions for the Padres, first base. Nobody started more than 70 games there for the Friars, none of them fielded the position particularly well, and none of them hit well enough to justify the poor defense. Basically, the black hole that existed for many years at catcher and/or shortstop has moved to first base.
