I think it would be nice to throw out that other prediction someone (I can’t remember who or when) was talking about. The no hitter or cycle prediction?
I say Kyle hits for the cycle, with an inside the park home run.

1. 87-75
2. 2nd

4. Hairston, Jr.
5. Two

I’m optimistic about the record, I know. The Hairston trade guess was done just to be different.

   4. Bell, even though I predict a bad season for him
   5. 1

1. 75-87
2. 4th
3. Giants
4. Heath, Adrian, CY
5. 1 All-Star if that is still the rule, if there isn’t a rule for participation then 0.

   1. What will be the 2010 Padres’ record?
84-78

   2. What place will they finish in the NL West?
Third.

   3. Who will win the NL West?
Rockies

  4. What Padre player will definitely be traded before the end of the season?
Heath Bell….though Stauffer could be another one too.

  5. How many Padres All-Stars will there be?
2….Gonzales as a backup and Bell

I agree with an earlier poster that Blanks for RoY contention doesn’t seem too far either….GG for perhaps Gonzales, that’s about it. Bell doesn’t lead this year in saves, neither Gonzales in HRs, nor anyone in strikeouts, ERA, or BA. I think Everth could make a run at leading in stolen bases, but predicting that can be a crapshoot.

90-72
first
padres
Stauffer
3, heater, Aid, and after 30 doubles in the first half…VENDOUBLES

CHONE actually projects the Giants to finish last in the NL West with 76 wins, and the Padres finishing 4th at 78-84.

No matter how great their pitching, the Giants hit even worse than the Padres.

1. 80-82

1st place
Padres
nobody on 25 man roster
Bell and A Gon
 
the team breaks franchise record for stolen bases in a year. Chris Young finishes 3rd in Cy Young with a huge bounce back year. Bud Black manager of the year.

No Im not crazy I just feel good.

1. 72-90
2. 4th place(thanks dbacks again)
3. Rockies
4. Heath Bell
5. Adrian

1st
It’s the Friar, bitch
Eckstein
3

1. Anthony Gwynn Jr. won’t be as bad as you think.
2. Injuries will be relatively minimal.
3. Blanks, Headley & Venable will significantly improve.
4. A-Gone will have a solid year, but not as good as ’09, but he will have more RBIs and less walks. He will finish the year as a Padre.
5. The team will finish in 2nd or 3rd and almost make the playoffs.
6. The Bullpen will be our saviors.
7. Since the team will be doing well, there will be no major trades, for good p.r.
8. We will be entertained.

1. 83-79
2. 2nd
3. Giants
4. Hundley
5. Three

Show yourself and take the verbal trashing you so rightfully deserve.

1. 85 – 77
2. 2nd
3. Giants
4. Stauffer, Adrian
5. One

Jon Garland will throw the first no-hitter in Padres History.
Venable will hit 20+ HRs.
Hairston, Jr will replace Eckstein as everyday 2B.

1. 90-71
2. 1st
3. The Friar
4. Yorvit (because Hundley will cement the job as his) and Stauffer (time to sell high)
5. 1, Adrian (I’d say more, but even as an optimist I think the NL is better off without any of our pitchers in the game for a while)

Extra Predictions: Eck will get less than 300 AB’s and still be the most important player on the roster. Clayton Richard will become the staff “ace” by the All-Star break. Matt Stairs will get Heath Bell on NutriSystem and his velocity will decrease by 5%. Dick Enberg will do a great job, but it still won’t be as good as having Matty V. in the booth.

The Padres have turned a corner as a franchise. After two rough years we seem to know what we are doing. We are going to embrace the park we play in by building teams around Petco rather than trying to build teams like the rest of the League. We are going to emphasize PITCHING, PITCHING, PITCHING, defense and athletic “smart” patient offense. We are going to focus on player development. Let us PRAY that this is last rapid change in baseball philosophy as a franchise that we undertake and is the last rebuilding process we will have to endure as Friar Faithful.

Lock up Adrain. Lock up Chase. Lock up Latos. Lock up Richard. Invest in the kids while you can get them cheap. Our payroll is TINY. Spend some revenue sharing loot. We have been a poorly long termed planned franchise for far too long. We are starting to stock pile some potential talent. It is a good thing. But it is a process that demands that WE WAIT for the guys to be good enough and then maybe we will have a better chance to win. A better chance to actually make the playoffs, much less have to win in the playoffs (I hate St Louis). We have been waiting as Padres fans for 41 years. Not a long time in comparsion to other franchises but a long time to us. We have never had a pitcher throw a no-no. We have never had a hitter hit for the cycle. We are Padres fans. We get shat on whenever we are out of San Diego. I am going to school in Boston and these dudes talk smack all day long. I have to defend my team and my city’s reputation against some unchill bros. But i do it with pride.

I want a championship now!!! No more waiting…..

I predict that the following terms will be used most by sports columnists and talking heads when describing the 2010 Padres: Scrappy, speedy, young, surprising, spoilers, and last, but not least, contenders.
Of course, they could just reek on ice.

why is everyone so caught up on the Rockies? i just dont see what everyone else see’s in them. Heltons old, no real pitching, a few decent young guys, and Tuilowitzki is the only decent one.
