SimonOnSports: Blogging the Offseason: San Diego Padres
Today's team is the San Diego Padres and our guest is JBOX from the Padres Blog Gaslamp Ball.
Gonzalez might put Padres in a bind
"It's a wonderful situation to be in. Whether we make a deal with Adrian or not, I don't know. He's such a great player. And he's got a great contract. There is a lot to discuss in the following weeks."

If it's me (and the decision is not mine!), I hang on to Adrian Gonzalez. I realize that you might be able to make a slightly lesser "Jake Peavy" type deal, and maybe get some pitching back for him, but I just like what Adrian brings to the team.

Hopefully, now that Moorad has his guy Jed Hoyer in charge, he really will leave the roster decisions up to those with the experience and track record in making them.
Our Answer At Second :: Friar Forecast
"Eckstein is not the answer." I know, go figure 34 year old 2B with limited range who hit .260/.323/.334 with only 2 HR on the season is not the answer.

I'm tired of hearing Adrian Gonzalez' name in trade rumors

Solution: trade him now and get it over with.

A lesser Jake Peavy type deal? The return for Gonzalez would be much bigger.
