Print- Peavy had a stressful three innings in the WBC. He claims he came into camp in good shape though due to added running in the off season.
- XX Sports Radio has some new interviews posted (MP3): Andy Masur, Mark Loretta and Bud Black. I'm saving that Bud Black interview onto my iPod for later when I need to take a nap.
- The Front Office isn't going to change much except for Sandy Alderson being displaced. "At this point, we have the players we're going to have. ... I'm assuming this change will take place, and when it does I'll take off my boots. In the meantime, there's business as usual and I'm part of it. I'm still a Padre, and until that changes I'd prefer not to think about it."
- Kevin Towers kind of contradicts Sandy saying that he's still searching for relievers. "We're actively looking. I'm a little more comfortable with our rotation, but our bullpen? I don't know. I think we really need to keep an eye on these guys and also look outside."
- Friar Forecast highlights some pitchf/x data on Peavy's performance in the WBC.
- Latos signed a $1.5m contract and bought a low-slung Nissan with the steering wheel on the right side. “It's got European specs,”
- I hope you weren't getting too interested in these Padres Spring Training Games. "These games mean nothing," Giles said. He's only saying that because he's bitter that he can't play because of a quad strain.
- Mark Sweeney finally retired and will be working with the Dodgers. He played for the Pads on three separate occasions, probably best known for his pinch hitting abilities and for being the clubhouse clown. He was the one who came up with the ridiculous Padres Idol contest that he then took on the road to every other team he played for. Fans loved him though.
- Khalil is killing it in Spring Training. He's only struck out once in his 17 Spring Training at bats.

CY got hammered
4 runs on 5 hits. On a good note, Nick Schmidt pitched two scoreless innings and only gave up one hit.

Looks like Padres loaded the bases in the 6th but only managed one run
On a RBI walk by Denker. 4-1 Rockies.

I thought
Denker drove in Hundley with a sacrifice foul ball, after Hundley hit a triple.

I dunno
All i saw on the box score was that Denker had a RBI and a BB so I just guessed.

Let's hope he has a good year @ AAA
and turns back into a top prospect!
I was also thinking the other day, if we didn’t have Khalil, I wonder if they would have tried moving antonelli to SS instead of 2B, he seems somewhat athletic and according to Leitner, he’s been fielding pretty well @ 2B lately.

If Antonellli struggles again this year he's pretty much done

I dont know if he'll be done.
but he will definitely be moved off of 2B to make room for Sogard in AAA
im glad KT says theyre looking for a reliever
our bullpen isnt pretty id love to see them go get a lefty
Bud Black, if nothing else, he's even keel.
the starting rotation
is in much more trouble than the pen

AMEN to that
Unless Baek, Geer and Correia all have breakout years, there’s not much going on there.

Sandy: "I'm assuming this change will take place, and when it does I'll take off my boots."
"We're not going to be as bad as you think."
Khalil
21 at-bats: .381 batting average, 8 hits, 3 doubles, 7 RBI, 2 BB, 2 runs scored and stolen base. ONE strikeout.
"We're not going to be as bad as you think."
Too bad he can't do it it games that count

I'd take him over what we have...any day of the week.
In 34 total at-bats our shortstops have combined for 8 hits (not one of them for extra bases), two RBI and 8 K’s. And at least Khalil can catch it and throw it.
"We're not going to be as bad as you think."
Dude come on. Totally weak argument.
You can’t use 34 spring training ABs for any kind of argument. That’s like saying we should get rid of Chase Headley, Brian Giles, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Chris Young because they haven’t had a good first week of spring and Khalil Greene should immediately be sent to the hall of fame. Facts is Facts. All stats per baseball-reference.com
Can’t Blame Petco
1. .304 OBP over six seasons/ .328 park adjusted
2. .248 AVG over six seasons / .259 park adjusted
3. .731 OPS over six seasons/ .744 park adjusted
4. Averaged nearly 100 Ks a season
5. Only ONE season with an OPS+ over 100…in 2004…last season it was 68
He has a piss poor attitude, didn’t want to be in San Diego, and intentionally injured himself which caused him to not be able to do his job. 34 meaningless ABs in Spring Training isnt’ going to change any of that.

I'm not making my entire argument based on a week of ST.
I’m just saying I believe the Padres are better team with Khalil at SS than the other 3 guys they have auditioning for the job right now. Do you honestly believe any of those guys will do anything offensively to impress us? We already know they can’t come close to matching him defensively.
"We're not going to be as bad as you think."
I dont' want a guy who doesn't want to be here.

Wasn’t his 2004 OPS+ influenced a great deal by being intentionally walked a lot batting in front of the pitcher?

I miss our little robot
"Greene, who answers questions pleasantly but with no noticeable voice inflection. "
Only 1 strikeout? Pitchers must not be throwing sliders yet.
Peavy's a bust!
particularly in pressure situations, trade him soon before anyone everyone catches on and we can get something of value in return!
Giles bitter? He can’t play because of quad strain or ‘strainin’ order? :/
I loved Mark Sweeny. I know, I know… I love(d ) Michael Barrett too.
I just thought about him yesterday while watching Italy v. Venezuela. Rrrrrrrrramoan came home and was greeted at the dugout steps, he started to remove his lid and by goodness… where’d his pelo go? That was Sweeny right, “show me some pelo”!
