Giles' ex-wife cites abuse against Olvera
Giles was divorced by his ex-wife Doddie because he began a relationship with his ex-fiance Cheri Olvera. Now Doddie is testifying against Giles saying that he abused Olvera in front of her and their children.
In one case Giles struck Olvera in the arm while in a McDonald's drive through. In another case he shoved her off the couch and onto the ground causing her to cry.
Meanwhile, Scott has accused Olvera's attorney, Cary Goldstein, of making a “threat” that “if he were not paid $10 million, he would ruin Mr. Giles' name in the media.” Scott stated in a court declaration that Goldstein contacted the Padres to put pressure on Giles to settle the case.
I keep asking myself how this situation with Giles is different than the Matt Bush situation. They both got in fights off the field. Both reflect really poorly on the Padres. One gets dealt with and one doesn't. One is a proven player and one is a valued prospect. Maybe Giles has 2 strikes against him and the Pads are just waiting for him to screw up one more time.

i thought the same thing
does Giles own a loft couch? This is retarded. Everyone involved is scum, none of these people are innocent. They all belong in a trailer on some reality show.
Those are the rules
Slug Bugs count on the road all the time, even in the McDonald’s drive-thru.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

he married someone named “Doddie.”

How does this reflect poorly on the Padres?

Seriously
Unless they knew something was going on and didn’t take action, I fail to see how they’re in any way accountable for Giles’ off-field antics. The organization has a number of problems, but quiet acquiescence of bitch-slapping behavior isn’t one of them as far as I know. It’s not like they’ve turned a blind eye toward it, right?

As far as I know the Padres haven't done anything
and they knew about the abuse in the bar. They encouraged him to make a statement, that’s about it.
Well
I think you are confusing the Padres’ accountability for Giles’ (alleged) actions with the idea that perception people have on the Padres organization after an incident like this. I don’t think anyone would argue that the Padres are " in any way accountable for Giles’ off field antics"; but that doesn’t stop people from perceiving the organization in a negative way. They did know of the incident in 2006 and took no action against him according to Alderson. They only released a statement last year, after the latest lawsuit gained more attention. I don’t see how that can’t reflect poorly on the organization. It seems to me that the relative obscurity of both Giles and the Padres on a national level is the only saving grace in this situation. That being said, Giles’ hasn’t actually been convicted of wrong doing yet.
That's kind of my point
Do you believe that the organization should be perceived in a negative way after this incident? If so, why? And how is that different from being (at least partly) accountable?
If, instead, you’re saying that you (personally) don’t buy into how this negatively reflects on the padres — but that other people do — then I’m wondering who these people are…

Right Field
My seats this year are in Right Field and I can’t help but imagine there will be plenty of Giles heckling.
Personally, I think all parties involved are pretty scummy at this point.
Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall -- and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
Whoa
A couple of comments here:
1. This is East County at its finest. All parties have something sleazy going on.
2. When the hell was Matt Bush ever a “proven” prospect? He was a “buying cheap and hoping fans come out because he’s local” prospect.
No
Matt Bush must have been East County and bussed in to Mission Bay. He was more “I read my name in the UT and called up the Padres and asked if they would take me even though I was a 5’10 160 lbs shortstop and Bill Gayton said yes so I got a fake ID and tried to get into a bar but didn’t” prospect.
Draft Balls Be Kind, The Kings Need Blake! The Padres need Strausberg and the Chargers need Mauluaga!
