Fun game Thursday. Homers and stuff. People seem to like that. And winning; they like that, too... Lots of roster moves, thanks to injuries caused by Hurricane Pujols. I've updated the org tree.

Reshaping the Padres: What Have We Got?

Thursday, May 22, 2008
by Geoff Young

With hopes for 2008 all but gone, I've turned my focus to reshaping the Padres so that they can return to the competitive levels we've grown accustomed to since the club moved to Petco Park in 2004. I attacked the problem as follows: Take inventory of organizational strengths and weaknesses Identify potential trade partners based on their needs Seek scenarios based on the above two parameters that might benefit both parties We'll take inventory today, and then turn to potential partners and trades on Friday. Strengths The Padres are deep at catcher, particularly in the high minors. Nick Hundley is a potential future regular, while Colt Morton and Jose Lobaton could be big-league reserves. Further down, Mitch Canham shows promise. At the top, Josh Bard and Michael Barrett ...

Padres Farm Report (19 May 08)

Monday, May 19, 2008
by Geoff Young

For the draft hounds among you, Baseball America has released its first mock draft. It has the Padres taking Arizona State first baseman Ike Davis at #23... because if there's one organizational weakness, it's at first base. Sigh. Nothing against Davis, but I hope this is very, very wrong. Triple-A -- Portland 11, Las Vegas 2 Craig Stansberry (SS): 1-for-6 Chase Headley: 3-for-4, 2B, HR, BB, HBP Brian Myrow: 2-for-4, 2 2B, BB Nick Hundley: 3-for-4, 2 2B, BB Will Venable: 2-for-5 Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4, BB Josh Geer: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 HR, 4 BB, 2 SO, 1-for-4, 2B Carlos Guevara: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 1 SO (8 pitches, 7 strikes) Mauro Zarate: ...
