I knew it!
Because Tate had a football scholarship to North Carolina, his “two-sport exemption” allowed the Padres to defer payments without having to put him on the 40-man roster. “That helps from a cash-flow standpoint,” said Padres GM Kevin Towers.

Booooooo
To help persuade Peavy to accept the trade — which he did on July 31 — the Padres gave him $1.5 million to cope with expenses relating to the move to Chicago.

$1.5 million to move to Chicago?

What, did he take a yacht made of solid gold, complete with full time staff and crew, around Cape Horn, stop in Bermuda, enter the mouth of the St. Lawrence, travel through a series of interlocking canals until finally reaching Lake Michigan, at which point he was air-lifted via golden helicopter to U.S. Cellular Field?

If so, than $1.5 million is an appropriate price.

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

Agree!!!!

They have played .500 for a few weeks, and all of a sudden the future looks golden.
If Cabrera or Blanks were to slump (and it will happen), the outlook would change in an instant.

The signing of the picks is good news, but they are years away and maybe only one of them will make the big leagues.

It already did.

True,,,,,but

I was thinking in terms of a more prolonged slump.
If Cabrera bats 230-240 next season or Blanks challenges Kouzmanoff for the title of most GIDPs,
the outlook for this team changes dramaticly.
The speculation of the Padres future is based on a very small number of ABs this year, and a couple of 18 year old kids that were just drafted.

ummm

since when is the future the present?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

So you are saying Krasovic is a Butt?

I would have to agree with that. Guess that is why they fired his sorry behind from the Union Tribune. I got so tired of his not even bothering to check facts and now that he isn’t getting paid for what he writes he seems to be spending less time worrying about whether or not his opinion is based in fact. Websoulsurfer sure took him to the woodshed the other day.

So the Padres paid the 1.5 million or did the Sox pay the money?

Cabrera started hot, slumped after coming back from that injury and is starting to make the adjustments good players make. It is pretty pessimistic to be expecting him to slump again. Blanks has done what he is doing now at every level. Slump at first then figure it out. That kid will be hitting close to .300 come the end of the season. If he aint, I will eat my words.
