San Diego Padres Fan Confidence Poll: 5/14/2010

PrintI just realized that we haven't done our weekly Fan Confidence Poll in 11 days. Somebody should have reminded us. I'm not going to point any fingers, but I think we all know that is your job.
I'll put up the graph when I finish it, but until then you might want to peruse these boilerplate instructions:
The rules are simple. On a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being no confidence at all, 10 being absolute confidence, How confident are you in the San Diego Padres organization?
"Confidence" is just about anything you want to interpret it as. The front office, the future prospects, the play on the field, the park, etc etc etc.

It will go up to 9 if we start hitting better
Mountain West Connection ::Above the Rest::
Bolts From The Blue "There’s a gleam men. Let’s go get the gleam! Focus and Finish!!! One play at a time!!! Let's Go!!!"
it kind of reminds me of that movie "You've got mail"...I'm Tom Hanks he's Meg Ryan -- Padres prospect Matt Antonelli on sdsuaztec4

I'd like to see a confidence poll about the confidence polls.
I think it’d score considerably lower.

Voted 6
Went 8,4 now 6….b/c its May and it doesn’t really count.

Because I am swayed easily and the Pads just got done sweeping the Giants. But as I’ve said before, I’ll never vote below a 5, unless something big happens. Like Jed trades away every single player for cash and a bag of chips.
So you're sway'd easy huh?
Noted.

I moved down off my 8 perch to 7
Injuries and our offensive downturn have me less optimistic that I was before. A 3.5 G lead is great, but if cracks that are surfacing get bigger its not terribly hard to whittle away over 4 1/2 months. Basically, loving the results so far and starting to worrying about the cracks. Maybe I’m just in a worrying mood.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

our young guys
need to turn it around…Will/Everth/Kyle need to show us some of the promise of last year.

I'll point the finger
At Adrian, Jairston, Gwynn, Salad Czar and Stairs. They could all play better too. Headley and Hundley could both stand to gain some pop in their swings.
At this point Eckstein, Torrealba and Hairston are the only ones playing at or above their capabilities.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Still strong.

I went with nine
to balance out my eight from last time.

I'm curious to see how high ESPN will have us in their power rankings
on Monday if we win the Dodger series, especially if we sweep the Dodgers.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

I don't care where espn, ranks us.
I don’t care what they say, or don’t say.
I want to go to the World Series.
That is all.

Well I don't care either but I think it's always interesting to see what ESPN thinks
They could have us at 15 and as long as we’re winning I’m happy.
World Series would be a dream.

no brooms this weekend
bummer those “beat LA” shirts didn’t work. I think we take both the weekend games.I for one will be there Sunday can’t wait to take my 1 year old son to his 2nd Pads game.
Finally moved up... to 6
Despite losing two key pitchers to circumstances beyond our control….. we have been amazing this last week.
Latos back-to-back shut outs (in all reality)… smoking hot.
Same concerns about front office
Side note:
I wish that the fan confidence polls could be on a scale on 1 to Tony Gwynn. I don’t know why. It doesn’t really make any sense.

Because these polls are being done at the commandment of the Mentor

Still at 7
If we are 3 games up with 1 game left in the season
then maybe an 8
"I post like canned meat."
Remember the team the Pads just swept?
They got Sabean, who hasn’t built much of a scouting/minors operation and doesn’t use sabremetrics and paid millions to those retreads and hired Bochy over Black. We got wonderboy Hoyer and Bud, who seems to be a lot smarter than any of us look.
I gave ‘em an eight only because I’m not so sure about Moorad and his group. They have a huge net worth, but so did Tom Werner’s group. Most net worth is tied up and can’t be spent, and Werner’s partners were self-made guys who didn’t WANT to spend. What do we know about Moorad’s group? We don’t even know who the mystery 10th investor is.
Moorad gives really slick non-answers, but I’d like to know how the new owners will handle the $200 million debt Forbes says the Padres have. Are they going to keep the payroll low and gradually pay off the debt with revenue, or reach into their pockets to pay it off and use revenues to increase the payroll?
We just lost to the Dodgers
My confidence is now at 5 until Hoyer can get his s_it together and Beat LA.
