Hitting coach a revolving door, but so far Padres like ‘Spike’ - SignOnSanDiego.com
"I’m in the cage with Tony and his dad," said Ready, who was a Padres teammate of the senior Gwynn. "Tony Jr. was in this stance that was really restricting to be free to the baseball. I said to Tony Sr., ‘Do you like that?’ He said, ‘I hate it.’ Tony Sr. asked me what I thought, with Tony Jr. right there. I said, ‘That’s really ugly. Pee-yew.’ "
It’s clicking for Padres' Antonelli - SignOnSanDiego.com
"He’s got to prove that he’s the ’07 player and not the ’08 and ’09 player," Black said. "Can he do it? Yeah. ’Cause I think the skills are there. Can he get back? Yeah. How does he? He plays good."
What's a Picture Worth?: Matty V
"Did I really just pick the Padres to finish last?" Ummmm...yeah you did. See the problem for Matty is not so much the Padres (he actually thinks they are going to be better this year then they were last), the problem is everyone else.

"Everything I did, I learned on the Internet," he said. "It came out looking really good. I’d bought (the Bronco) for $1,700 and sold it for $4,000. Pretty nice return."

PADRES ANALYSIS: Status of Gonzalez remains in limbo
Another source close to the situation backed up that assertion, saying the San Diego native would considering taking deferred money if the club offered a "fair market offer."

Youth is served with Padres' Decker | padres.com: News
Jaff Decker, in his first full-season campaign in the Minors, hit .299 with 16 home runs, 64 RBIs and a .442 on-base percentage. Not bad for a player who turned 20 years old last month.

it's spring

and every tweeked batting stance/plate approach is talked up like it’s going to add 50 points to your batting average. That being said, TGJ’s new stance looks much better than last years. Since it’s only march I feel free to predict that it will enable him to take advantage of his genes and make a run at 400 this year.

If only Tony Gwynn was like Pat Ewing

coulda spread that seed around….Anthony Gwynn Junior wouldn’t have been such a disappointment because he’s only one of 7 sons who are in baseball at the moment.

I think he’s been spending too much time with Jed.
