Alright
Its up. I had forgotten most of the genesis of Rallyin’ Rod as well and had to look it up. He came into being the same game where Michael Barrett kissed Adrian in the postgame interview.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I don't think that was a question
I was wincing when the UT mentioned that they wanted Tejada to play short. The defense! The defense!

Salazar is actually better against lefties than Headley.
The defense though…

Uncle Teddy could ask Jerry
“What’d you do today?”
“I made the Padres linwup.”
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Padres linwup looks like a ton of fail on paper
J Hairston 2B, Denorfia CF, Gonzalez 1B, S Hairston LF, Torrealba C, Cunningham RF, Salazar 3B, Cabrera SS, Correia 9
Denorfia batting 2nd and playing CF?
Salad Bar starting at 3rd?

Buccos linwup
Tabata CF, Young RF, Walker 2B, Jones 1B, Alvarez 3B, Milledge LF, Jaramillo C, Cedeno SS, Maholm P

Even if we could outbid those teams
we shouldn’t want to. They’d want like Latos, Headley, Hundley, and Castro.

I’m hoping Garfinkel is reading this, then relaying this back to Jed. (He is Godfinkel, after all.)
NO NO NO Hart. They’re selling high!
The Nats don't appear to be inclined to move anyone
unless they’re given a massive haul. Which, again, the Padres cannot afford.

The Giants and the Nats seem to be negotiating over Dunn and you-know-who
Arguably we’re better than they are when you compare pieces. Does that mean we’re giving up stuff? That remains to be seen.
There's always next year, and they will definitely trade him then
That being his contract year

Also in not good news today:
The Dodgers are reportedly in talks to acquire Roy Oswalt, along with the Cardnials and Phillies. Over at Friarhood, there’s a great article on the era of the Haves vs. the Have-nots, suggesting that the Padres, instead of going after a washed-up arm or bat, go for broke and make a deal for Oswalt, as a sign that the new management is comitted to winning a championship at the end of the day. Thoughts?

No no no
Let some other team take up Oswalt, his gargantuan salary, and the risk of his arm. We should be stupid in trying to make a statement, IMO

Patience is a virtue
Too much salary for one player, too many good players given away. It’s like ‘93 all over again if that happens except this time we have one good player playing 1 day every 5 and that’s it. Whereas right now we got guys playing 5 days out of 5 and doing a pretty damn good job at it (and at a much lower price).
The Padres can't afford to meet the Astros ridiculous demands
in terms of either salary or prospects. They continue to insist that the trade partner give them three or more top quality prospects and eat Oswalt’s entire salary. Oswalt then will insist that whatever team it is pick up his 2012 option.
The Padres have neither the money to be able to afford this, nor the prospects to make it happen.

Would he even come here in the first place?
Sounds like the list of teams he is willing to go to is short from what I have read on mlbraderumor.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
My guess is he would definitely come here.
It’s pretty much a pitcher’s dream.

Dodgers won't be able to get Oswalt either for the same reasons as the Padres.
Neither the money, nor the prospects to make it happen.

That we should be excited about?

Luebke is much closer to contributing at the major league level than Castro.

by Zach (maestro876) on Jul 23, 2010 3:23 PM PDT up reply actions
I agree with that sentiment.
Castro has had issues. They both started at the same level and Luebke was the more effective pitcher. Now Luebke is a level higher and closer to the big leagues.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Who we have on the farm, so that’s why i’m asking.

25 years old.
Lefty. 91-93 mph. Fastball, slider, change. Better velocity and control than LeBlanc, but doesn’t have a wipeout pitch like Wade’s change. Good K/BB ratio, fly ball pitcher. Upside as a mid-rotation guy.

If you're talking about Poreda
I think what’s keeping him from being a starter is, beyond just his general control problems, are a lack of any good secondary pitches.

Yes
And also a lack of that new Madden rating category, an intangible he seemingly had at USF. I also swear that Aaron had a decent slider and changeup in college too

Luebke?
Could be, if we’re lucky. I see Luebke as maybe a Joe Blanton type. I pretty much expect him to have very little learning curve in the majors. I think he’ll get to his peak quick and just kind of hold it there for a while.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

That's pretty valuable
especially if the result is a low 4/high 3 ERA.

New Padres linwup for July 24:
J Hairston 4, Denorfia 8, Gonzalez 3, Headley 5, Stairs 9, Venable 7, Hundley 2, Cabrera 6, Latos 1.
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
Let's compare it to Wonko's Budbot Predict O Tron, shall we?
Predict-o-tron: J. Hairston 4, Denorfia 7, Gonzalez 3, Headley 5, Hundley 2, Venable 9, Gwynn 8, Cabrera 6, Latos 1
Only difference is Stairs (oh crap) instead of Gwynn. And he’s batting 5th. Oh, joy.
