Adrian's rehab may last until Spring Training | padres.com: News
"I think what Adrian is saying it that he's going to be very cautious and take it a step at a time," said agent John Boggs. "He's the type of player who can pick up a bat and be ready in a week.

He'll be ready ... but he's not going to burst out of the gates if he's not."

"As part of the new deal, DePodesta apparently will continue to live in San Diego, at least for the short term. The salary savings of his departure could be considerable for the low- to-mid revenue Padres, as DePodesta's salary, the source of much gossip among Padres personnel who spoke to outside clubs, exceeded that of some GMs."

What's a Picture Worth?: Show and Tell Winner

Arizona Diamondbacks mulling over adding closer Trevor Hoffman

Webb's future bright after change in delivery | padres.com: News
"For a guy throwing 95 mph, he gave up a lot of hits, which led me to believe he wasn't making pitches or guys were seeing him too good," Balsley said. "He was giving up too many hits compared to his talent level and stuff."

can't say I'm surprised, but...

Was an article on MLB today in the GG and in their list of potential NL favorites they had Headly at 3B, Eck at 2B, AG 1B and Garland at P. They listed 4 for each posturing and those were the only Padres they mentioned.
