Around SBN: Dog Football! Which Breeds Are Best Suited For The Gridiron?

Padres GM Hoyer says Kyle Blanks to have Tommy John Surgery

XX Sports Radio: Jed Hoyer Interview (MP3) with Darren Smith

  • Hoyer gathers his staff 5 times a day to see where they are at with prospective trades.  The hardest thing is being patient.  The second hardest thing is that you end up chasing a lot of dead ends.
  • Hoyer reads the internet.  He reads MLB Trade Rumors and Rotoworld.  He says there are many false rumors on the internet so you have to filter them.
  • Jed says that he's trying to make the Padres better and not trying to react to moves that other teams are making.
  • Hoyer says the team doesn't have to make a move before Saturday's deadline, but he thinks they will. 
  • Hoyer runs a lot of moves past Buddy Black to see how he thinks it will affect team chemistry.  "I think our chemistry has been clearly one of our biggest strengths this year." "At the same time, you can't be afraid of making moves because of chemistry."  Players will come to Hoyer with deals that they think up but they don't usually ask the players for their opinions on moves.
  • Teams have made offers to the Padres but so far they've been turned down.
  • The Dan Haren trade didn't surprise Jed.  The Diamondbacks were looking to drop some salary. No websites had rumors of the Angels taking Haren, he applauds both teams for keeping it quiet.
  • No comment on the Jayson Werth deal.
  • Hoyer was disappointed in the Dodger game last night.  It was the best that Jon Garland threw all year. They had a golden opportunity to score. "The bottom line is that we have to find a way to beat the Dodgers and the Rockies. If there is any negative of this season it's the performance against those two teams."  It's frustrating because those are two teams we need to beat.
  • Larry Lucchino was walking around the ballpark last night acting like a proud father.  He wanted to come see his ballpark.  Hoyer says he deserves to be proud of it.
  • David Eckstein is feeling good.  Good news on the MRI.  He's very close to being back.  Eckstein is optimistic.
  • Chris Young is progressing.  He threw 120 feet two days in a row.  It's been a frustrating season for Young.
  • Kyle Blanks is going to have Tommy John surgery on Friday.  Should be back by Spring Training. The Padres pushed it off as much as they could. The doctors thought they could get him healed without surgery but have now given up.  It's a lost season for Blanks and frustrating for him.
  • Chris Denorfia has really stepped up to score runs.  He too had Tommy John surgery and it's nice to see him bounce back.
  • There were 6 different people in Hoyer's suite discussing Buddy Black's decision to leave Garland in to face Andre Ethier.  " As much as people are talking about that move, the story of the game last night was not scoring."
  • Padres are more likely to add a bat before the deadline. They can pick up a pitcher in August.

If Blanks has TJ surgery do you think he'll be ready in time for ST?

Also, if he’s put on the 60 day DL, does that open up a spot on the 40 man roster?

TBD

by IputtheYinTony on Jul 28, 2010 2:52 PM PDT reply actions  

8-10 months of recovery time from TJ (so, no)

And they will definitely put Blanks on the 60 day DL and open up a spot on the 40 man roster.

Let's play devil's advocate for a minute

and fast forward to Spring Training 2011 with:

  • Kyle Blanks still rehabbing from Tommy John Surgery
  • Matt Antonelli still hasn’t fully proven that he can hit.
  • Adrian is traded to Beantown

Who’s going to be our first basemen? Oscar Salazar?

Looking at Dunn's offensive numbers

over his decade of play, seems like he is a little underrated – averages 33 HR 94 rbi’s per season (albeit in hitters parks) – of course. strikes out a ton but walks a lot. Still fairly young too. We could probably sign him at a decent price considering he is upper echelon.

That's true I guess.

What kind of upgrade are we talking about? Is Theriot replacement level? Better?

He's above replacement level.

Cabrera is straddling the line.

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

at the very least

Theriot becomes a utility guy after Eckstein returns and Hairston goes to SS full time. Cabrera to AAA

Otherwise Hairston/Theriot play 2b/SS

Budbot and Deno

Budbot just has to start and bat Denorfia in the 2 hole again, doesn’t he ? Hey Bud, why give away all the house money? That hot week by Deno, irregardless of future performance, guarantees Deno 150 more PA’s in 2010.

Sooooo Stoked

though it looks like he’s just a rental

Pads management has conditioned you well to believe a trade has to be both good

for the immediate future and for the long-term. I say the front office needs to show they’re committed to winning now and not just pick up someone that comes cheap like a Keppinger, so that they can appear like they’re trying to improve the team.

I'd rather they improve the team

not just appear that way.

Jed will make a move that makes sense for the Padres.

If it’s a rental, it’ll be a rental. If it’s a player that’s under control for a couple years, then that’s what they’ll do.

Not good.

Let’s hope the miss out on Ted Lilly or Roy Oswalt.

They're not getting Oswalt.

If he goes anywhere, it will be to Philly.

Marlins just tied it 9-9 in the 9th.

Suck it Brian Wilson…..and your orange shoes. Idiot.

I wont play the fool, no way....

. I like DeNorfia and Id like to see him on the club next season…but I hope Hoyer understands how much we need a proven bat. The Keppingers, Theriots and Podsedniks are not the answer.

On to the bottom of the 9th in SF.

Damn, I was hoping Helms would have another big hit leading to a Giants loss and another

celebration injury to further deplete the Marlins as they get ready to head to S.D.

Oh and holy crap Pittsburgh up 5-1 over Colorado

Heading to the bottom of the 3rd. Aaron Cook was walking the ballpark and giving up a bunch of singles. Sean Gallagher on the mound for the Buccos.

And the guys at Purple Row thought

we would unravel in the second half of the season. Ha!
