FCC could propose rule that would take Padres off Cox exclusively
The issue had been particular controversial in San Diego, where Cox has the exclusive rights to distribute Padres games
Grady Fuson: Proud Padre Leaves Full Farm
In a 619 Sports exclusive, outgoing Padres’ vice president of scouting and player development Grady Fuson talks for the first time publicly about his firing. Who forced him out, Jed Hoyer or Jeff Moorad? Was Fuson fired for his failed first-rounders? And how proud is he of the system he leaves behind?

Red Sox could be targeting Gonzalez - Sports - SignOnSanDiego.com
Are the Red Sox desperate enough to make Hoyer a deal he can’t refuse – even if he might be hesitant to have his first major move as the Padres’ general manager a trade that sent the Padres’ most productive and popular player to his former team?

PADRES: Kouz's other trade value extends to garage
"I found Brian and he was open-minded about me working in the shop," Kouzmanoff said. "He didn't know who I was. ... That's what was nice about it. I'm just another person, like everybody else."

The next season I was sent to the California League in Lake Elsinore, California. There I stayed with a host family. Out of all the places I have stayed to date, this was by far the best.

Perpetual Padres Saga: Happy birthday, my dear blog!
Exactly a year ago, December 12th 2008, I started a blog and wrote my very first entry with literally two sentences.

Unfinished Business: Padres Sign Correia
But now the Padres have a little work to do: sign Bell, Adams, and Kouzmanoff to contracts for next year +. These guys have just been huge for the Padres in the last few years, and it would be a crying shame to lose any of them.

Wouldn't be bad to have if

we trade Kouz and/or Adrian and need OF’s. Otherwise we have Chase/Venable/Blanks/Gwynn… adding Crisp makes for a crowded OF.

it definitely points to a lack of faith in TGJr

And why wouldn’t there be a lack of faith in the younger Gwynn.

Actually

I was thinking Crisp was left handed. But, actually he’s a switch hitter who hits lefties better. So he’s a good platoon partner for TGJr. So it turns out they probably do have the appropriate faith in him.

for Grady Fuson

Having not listened to the interview just yet

my guess is neither Jed Hoyer or Jeff Moorad forced him out. Anybody who’s read Moneyball knows there was some animosity between Depo & Grady from the Oakland A’s days.

There's a lame joke somewhere

Maybe: FCC forcing cox to give up exclusive rights. Many women become bisexual.

HOLD ON FOR A SECOND

I think I know why Kouz sucks in the first half of the season…because his back is all F’ed up from off-road racing.
Seriously! Do you know how much of a toll that takes on ones body? Talk to a chiropractor and they will tell you how much the LOVE the desert season.
