Padres Farm Report (30 May 08)

by Geoff Young on May 30, 2008 (8) Comments

I’m listening to the new REM. If everything between Automatic for the People and now was intended to provide dramatic effect for their return to sounding like REM, then holy smokes it’s been a smashing success. I had no idea they were capable of making music like this anymore. No whining mid-tempo crap, just driving [...]

Padres Farm Report (29 May 08)

Before we get started, I’ve got a new article up at Hardball Times about a few stories I’ve been tracking this season. I’ve also been interviewed over at Friar Nation.

Reshaping the Padres: What Have We Got?

by Geoff Young on May 22, 2008 (104) Comments

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 [...]

Padres Farm Report (19 May 08)

by Geoff Young on May 19, 2008 (8) Comments

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 [...]
