He sure does look happy

I’m happy for him, hope he does well.

Can’t wait to go to the Angels-Sox game this year.

Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

When did Adrian get teeth?

Were those part of the trade?

Pretty happy guy.

Smiles say a lot.

I can't wait to see this guy rake in Boston

More exciting though would be Casey Kelly’s 1.00 ERA in his rookie season. Dude pitches in Petco, it could happen.

Curious to see his defense too

I have seen it raved about. Used to love the extra defense Maddox would give.

He used to be a shortstop

and converted to pitching full-time last year. That speed and reflexes will be evident on the mound.

I only saw him play once, the rest is just stat lines to me, but what I saw was pretty phenomenal.

Maybe he's the SS we've been looking for -

pitch every fifth game, play SS the rest of the time and have someone else (Cabrera) play the 30-35 he doesn’t start. Oh Hoyer, you’re a genius.

That is what he did

for is first two minor league seasons.

by field39 on Dec 6, 2010 12:56 PM PST up reply actions  

Just his first season

And he’s not your SS of the future, he’s got good range, but he put up a sub-.300 OBP in single-A, his future is definitely as a pitcher.

We'd better keep him out of North County.

When I was watching the press conference this morning

My mom walked into the room and said, “I can’t tell if that guy is smiling or not. Actually, it looks like he’s crying”
I giggled.

Good luck to him

He was a great player, but he was never going to sign here, not for 180 million dollars over 8 years. I’m just glad we got SOMETHING for him. And a decent something it was even if it’ll take years to find out how decent.

Just curious

We all liked AGon because he was the Padres best player, but was he anybody’s favorite player?

Great point...

Probably why I liked him. Not like I’ll be following him now…

by SDFriarFan on Dec 6, 2010 7:36 PM PST up reply actions  

He was never my favorite player

Dude has zero personality. I enjoy Heath Bell the mostest. If they get rid of him I will be pretty bummed.

Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.

I think that sealed the deal for AG.

bye

 He won’t have to boycott Arizona now.

Wait till he sees all the undocumented Irish in Boston

The Padres are good, but make no mistake: we've gotta beef up the linwup.

If I had a nickel from every SBN blog that has banned me, Arrowhead Pride would owe me 5¢.

Are you saying he won't make the AL all-star team for Boston?

It’s true he’s almost a lock in San Diego, since there has to be at least one Padre on the NL team, but they’re still playing the AS game in Phoenix. I wonder how his boycott will look in Boston?

by wegotballsley on Dec 7, 2010 9:17 AM PST up reply actions  

He/she might have forgotten about the ASG

and was alluding to the Red Sox having ST in FL.

I have to say....

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Adrian look so happy. I sorta hate him now.

Where in the world is Khalil?

did he say anything interesting?

Other than “im rich biatch”

Of course he looks happy. He thinks he'll be

in the WS every year. Fortunately for us, our man Jed has a plan! Last year, his very first, he turned a $38 million payroll into 90 wins. I can’t wait to see what he does with a payroll that begins with a “4”!!
