"The first knock he got, I lost my mind. It just came flying out. I'm so proud of him. He didn't quit. He didn't give up. He didn't get flustered because he didn't get a chance to play in Milwaukee. He just kept working, kept his nose to the grindstone hoping to get an opportunity. And now he's getting it, and on my old team." -

Who in the hell is a fan of the team’s budget?

well
if they use the money to help pay for Peavy this year or better yet in international draft signings, I would be happy.

Listen to Heath on XM Radio this morning…..he thinks Padres have a great chance for the playoffs….and if he makes the all star team he is going to give everyone hugs…

Oh, this is why I haven’t been on Ducksnorts in forever…thanks for the reminder.
Latos; 3 Runs = Touched up?
For most of our starters that’s a damn good outing, and lately for Gaudin or Young its called IMPOSSIBLE.

Agreed.
Really it was 2 ER with 12 K in 5.1 innings.

Call him up!
I think our starters refer to that as a “no-hitter”.

Turn around the whole pitching staff
Out; Gaudin as well (release or AAA)
in; Inman, Latos, Ramos (assuming Latos is ready, if not then bring in LeBlanc)
Let’s see what we have in these young pitchers (namely Inman/Ramos)

Inman?
Will Inman of 6.21 ERA in AAA?
That Inman?

Aye, Inman and LeBlanc have not exactly been lighting the world on fire
I don’t think they will rush Latos if they don’t have to. I think we might see him in September. Currently the team is out of it and rushing Latos up to get a couple of more wins is not going to help any. The team wiil still stink with or without him this year.

wait a minute
paying aging vets way too much money to underproduce while blocking the growth/playing time of younger talent….clearly not the padres style

I think a deal that is starting to make more and more since
Is trading Adrain to Boston…
Before I get flamed hear me out.
Its looking less and less likely that Adrian will resign with the Padres (based upon budget and ballpark) and if the Padres can’t move Peavy this offseason then there will definitely be no money to sign Adrian to an extension.
The Red Sox have a ton of young pitching that can’t break into the big leagues because of the sox already stacked rotation. If the Padres could get Buchholz and Bowden from the sox along with a position player or two then it could really solidify their rotation for the next 5 to six years. The Padres can then bring up Latos to fill out the rotation and Blanks up to play 1B.
I dont entirely disagree
Its not so much a firesale because of money but because we don’t have anyone of real use approaching the bigs for at least two years (some of the guys in SA like Carassco might help, but the bulk of talent are at Ft Wayne and Lake Elsinore). And ironically 1B is the ONE AREA where we have a hot prospect ready to go, so it would weaken us but I don’t know if horribly.
Still I’d hate hate HAAATE to see Adrian go, even for a huge package.
I’m thinking though we could get Buchholz, Bowden, and at least three other players.
SP: Latos
SP: Buchholz
SP: Bowden
SP: Young
SP: PEavy -
Not bad

The Redsox would never do that
they might give us mirrabelli for A go though. I can’t see them trading for a 1b, and A go’s ego is way to big for Boston.
But
They won’t give up Bowden and Buchholz to do it. Especially because one of their top prospects (Lars Anderson) is a 1B. If you use the Teixeira to Atl deal as a comparison you should expect a couple of young lowel level top prospects and a couple iffy high level prospects. Bowden and Buchholz are high level top prospects and those kind of prospects don’t get traded anymore, especially not by a team as smart as the Red Sox.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.

"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Salty was an iffy high level prospect?
Also the two low level guys are the Rangers #1 and #4 prospects in their system (which BA ranked as the #1 system in baseball). Also the sox would have Adrian under control for a full season longer than the Braves had control of Tex.
As far as Anderson is concerned I dont think that matters all that much because it looks like Big Papi is done so they will need a DH sometime in the near future.
Blast from the past
with the resigning of B-Law i say we just shoot for a like 2000 reunion team. Cant be worse than outr rotation now. We need to get that 2000 rotation back in tact:
Clement
Eaton
BLaw
Hitchcock
and Woody Williams
Aim Higher
Randy Jones won a CY Young in ’76

I liked Lawrence
but he needs a good SS and 2B behind him to be effective and we don’t have that. We have a 2B at SS and a midget at 2B, those guys can’t cover the ground that BLaw would need. But, if his sinker is biting I’d give him a try. Anyone who can keep their ERA below 5 is an improvement at this point.
