More GAP hitters.
I liked the article excpet for the “more gap hitters” line. That is exactly what the Padres should not get. Petco Parks biggest effect is reducing doubles. Did you know:
In the 5 years the Padres have been in Petco Park, they have led the NL in doubles on the road 3 times and been last in home doubles 3 times.
So why in the world would he want more gap hitters? Khalil is a perfect “gap hitter” He hit the gap enough for 29 road doubles in 2007. Almost half of those gappers hung up and were caught in Petco Park. That is why he only had 15 home doubles. That is 1 double away from being less than half as many.
We need ground ball / line drive hitters. Or players that pull the ball. Gaps are death in Petco Park.
Padres pitchers aren't as good as you think. Padres hitters aren't as bad as you think.

I'm too busy thinking negative thoughts about the Chargers
No time for re-hashing Padre’s past performances.
Decent article though.
