jbox: Who do you think is the most overrated Padre?

Dex: Tony Gwynn Jr.

jbox:  I think I'd say Chris Young or Kouzmanoff, but I'll go with Chris Young.  I think people only think he's good because he's tall.  If he was a human instead of a clinical giant, he probably wouldn't always be injured and nobody would think he was a number one starter.

jbox:  Which Padre do you look at and think "man I bet that guy smells"?

Dex: Heath Bell.

jbox:  That's who I was going to say too.

Dex:  If you had a box with a button in it and told each of the Padres that they could push the button and they would get a billion dollars, but somebody they didn't know would die, who would push the button first?

jbox:  Chris Young.  When that whole PED thing was happening he was the only one talking about how it affected his paycheck.

Dex:  I think it'd be Adrian Gonzalez. We'd finally see his true colors and/or he'd consider that person a martyr as he donated the billion dollars to help needy children.

Dex:  Same question, but the button added 3 inches to the persons manhood.

Dex:  I think David Eckstein. His wife is too hot and famous for a little dude, anything to keep her around

jbox: I'd say Giles if we still consider him a Padre.

I think they all probably have healthy noses and are able to take in aromas within the normal human limits, but if you meant which Padres possibly gives off a bad odor instead of which Padres has the capability to smell things, then I think it might be Blanco.

actually

I heard Everth Cabrera can’t detect the smell of rotten milk.

So that'd put "Giles" at, what?

4 inches?

"I'm a Padre at heart. Always gonna root for the Padres. Twenty-five years [with this organization], how can't you? Next year I'm gonna be rooting like a son-of-a-gun for these guys and for Blackie ... I'm gonna be rooting for the next general manager here, rooting for the city, the fans, everybody. I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers

I bet Bud Black

would push the button first. We all know that he has a darker side that we’ve rarely seen.

Jerry Coleman pushed the button many, many times

and he didn’t even ask about the money.

Phil Nevin punched the button because his reflection on its surface appeared to mock him.

Paul McAnulty had to be subdued after trying to ingest the button.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Junior is one of those

“so overrated he’s underrated” type players.

At least, as a Padre, he’s been an average hitter and an above-average centerfielder.

Once somebody's named you "Tony Gwynn"

You’re overrated. He should’ve stuck with Anthony until at least his first +.300 BA season.

AJ

is clearly the respectable way to go.
