Table Scraps
I’m heading out to Phoenix to catch the AFL championship on Saturday, so this will be real short. Bust out the bullet points… Padres add seven to 40-man roster (Yahoo). Depending on what other moves the Padres make this winter, Brad Baker is a good bet to see material time with the big club in [...]
What’s Next?
I’m trying to play along with the Padres this winter and think of what kinds of moves they could make. Unfortunately, all indications are that there won’t be a lot of changes. Patience will be key for Padres (Padres.com). One of the goals of moving Terrence Long was to open up playing time for Xavier [...]
Jason Kendall: Another Story That Won’t Die
About halfway down the page of a recent Baseball Prospectus chat with Chris Kahrl there is an item that caught my attention. Okay, it caught Charlie Wilmoth’s attention and Charlie’s comment caught mine. The question has to do with Sean Burroughs and whether he might be a candidate for a deal to the Pirates for, [...]
Padres Off-Season: Starting Pitchers
Today kicks off our look at how the Padres might be able to improve themselves for next year. But first, a public service announcement. Tomorrow is Election Day. As a reformed apathist (didn’t vote between 1988 and 2003; not proud of it, but what’s done is done), I’d like to encourage everyone out there to [...]
A Few Quick Thoughts
Oh boy, Baseball Reference has added 2004 stats. Check out the Padres page. You can see that Sean Burroughs compares well to Edgardo Alfonzo and Brooks Robinson at the same age, among others. You can also find weird pieces of information. For example, you probably know that Ryan Klesko hit just 9 homers this year, [...]
RIP, Cammy
I wanted to mention this sooner, but I’ve been searching for the right words. I still haven’t found them, and I may never find them, but I have to say something. As you probably know by now, former Padre third baseman Ken Caminiti died of an apparent heart attack Sunday, at age 41. The first [...]
Just How Unfriendly Was Petco to Hitters?
One of the central themes in 2004 here in Padreland was the home club’s inability to take advantage of the spacious new downtown ballpark. But how much did Petco Park actually hurt hitters? The answer, at least using one season’s worth of data (and only of Padres), is that it didn’t have much of an [...]
Irritating
The NC Times has an article suggesting that the Padres aren’t going to be real active this winter. A few open questions: Wasn’t Petco supposed to bring additional revenue that would be re-invested in the team? Didn’t 3 million customers help reach the goal of #1? Whose fault is it that Jeff Cirillo is still [...]
Three Years of Blogging
Pads got spanked. Curt Schilling vs Ismael Valdez; you were perhaps expecting some other outcome? Right. Anyway, it says here that I’ve been blogging now for three years. Egads. I’m not a big anniversary kind of guy, but this does give me an excuse to throw out some props to everyone who reads, links, talks [...]
