619Sports.com: Scott Hairston Interview with Craig Elsten

This is a great day for Hairston and his family. He had a great time being a Padre.
Hairston had a tough time being traded to Oakland. He's happy to be back in San Diego.
Kevin Kouzmanoff and Hairston were "best buds". Kouzmanoff called Hairston and told him he was being traded and they were excited they'd be playing together again. Hairston didn't know he was being traded for him.
Kouzmanoff will be a good fit in Oakland because he's a hard worker and a good guy.
Hairston found out about the trade when he saw his name on MLB Trade Rumors. Hairston then called his agent who confirmed the trade pending a physical.
Hairston's family was jumping up and down when he told them the news.
Hairston got an excited text from Venable.
Hairston just feels good playing in Petco Park. "How can you not like playing there?"
Hairston never stopped being a Chargers fan.

First off, glad Shrek is back. I marked his trade as the point at which the FO officially gave up on the season.
Second, what kind of crappy agent does Hairston have that he finds out from MLB Trade rumors?

Great Move!

I’ve been campaigning to get his guy bck on the UT. He’s got the potential to be the exact player we need for a guy who can be replaced in house for nothing. sounds solid to me!

Scott was always one of my favorite players.

We should get some value out of him too.

say goodbye to the tree at three, say hello to Shrek!!!

The one thing we may regret is losing Eric Sogard, I really like his solid play at second.

Darnell should probably learn how that fielding and throwing stuff works first before we start talking about him as a future MLB 3B

I'm the first person to admit that I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I'm going to be the last person to admit I'm wrong about what we're currently talking about.
