Around SBN: More Televised Winter Baseball, Please

What do you do Winfield?

I don't get what Dave Winfield does for the Padres.  He was just promoted to Executive Vice President of the Padres in the Fall and the only thing I ever hear about him doing is promoting his own projects.  What's he doing for the Padres?  I think Friar Fit was his brain child but really that's all I can think of. 

I'm not trying to insult him or anything, it just seems like looking in from the outside that he's just in some sort of figure head position, where they give him a pay check, office and a staff and he just does what ever he wants.

Winfield participated in the shortest ESPN chat in history, he answered five boring questions.

Winfield will be on hand Tuesday in Beverly Hills, Calif for the kickoff of Little League Baseball's 70th season. The day will feature a special four-inning opening day exhibition game. The inaugural event will feature two Los Angeles District 25 teams - Beverly Hills vs. Culver City, the 2008 District Champs. Winfield will coach one team, while Fred Lynn will coach the other.

If anybody can shed some light on Dave Winfield's responsibilities with the Padres, let us know.

DODGERS, RED SOX, YANKEES, BRONCOS, PATRIOTS and RAIDERS all suck. Especially the Dodgers.

He also makes sure to

He was interviewed on 30 Clubs in 30 Days: Padres Edition on MLBN

He said he’s been hanging out and talking to players and stuff….

I don't know which is stronger....

Your love of Pad Squad Carrie? Or your hatred of Dave Winfield?

What He Does

Front Office: “Dave, we remember when you were the greatest athlete in this city on some of the worst teams this organization ever put together. Could you maybe talk to Adrian about what this year is gonna be like for him?”

Dave: “Sure thing.”
