If the front office doesn't want to appoint one, then, by golly, Gaslamp Ball will. No poll for this. Let's just settle on one and email the newspapers with it. Obviously, it's slow news week. I'm sure the UT will want to know who the team captain is as appointed by a bunch of internet nerds. Who have been captain in the past? Gary Templeton... Dave Winfield...

So who is it? My short list: Brian Giles or Adrian Gonzalez. Actually... Do teams like the Padres have Team Captains? It's kinda tough when we rotate rosters every 3 years.
