Gwynn's savvy move sparks Padres' win | padres.com: News
In a game in which the Padres again found themselves hard-pressed for runs against the Dodgers, Tony Gwynn's instinctual read on an Adrian Gonzalez flare to center field in the sixth inning of the Padres' 6-1 victory proved to be the play of the night on Wednesday.
Padres' Blanks needs Tommy John surgery | padres.com: News
The Padres announced Wednesday that outfielder Kyle Blanks will have reconstruction of the collateral ligament in his right elbow. The recovery time, from what Blanks was told, is between seven and 10 months.
Torrealba's bat forcing Black's hand | padres.com: News
A big chunk of the Padres' offense this month has come from somewhat of an unlikely source -- catcher Yorvit Torrealba, who is riding an 11-game hitting streak.

"That was a great instinctual read by Tony," Black said. "If he doesn’t read that, the bases are loaded and you don’t know what happens."

"A one-hop throw turns into a lazy three-hopper," said Blanks. "At that point, you’ve got to step back and say, ‘Something’s wrong.’ "

"It's not a guess, it's a calculated risk," Gwynn said. "With the tying run on first, they don't want anything going over their head. When that ball gets in on (Gonzalez) a little, I knew right away it was going to fall. It was just a matter of me being able to trust my instincts and believing it."
PADRES NOTES: Blanks confident he'll return from reconstructive surgery
"It's not the end of the line," said Blanks, who expects to be sidelined seven to 10 months. "It can be a starting point to something better.

Definitely not the end of the line for Blanks
Even if he spends next year in AAA he could still be back in the majors at a very young age. Its also cool that he has a resource in Chris Denorfia who is a position player that went through Tommy John surgery.

I wonder
if the Blanks injury is going to affect a potential Deal For Agon? I know that the organization is against deferring money, but why couldn’t we give Agon a deal that included a front end signing bonus. Sort of like $20M signing bonus then a $20M per year starting in 2012…..
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Because you need to actually have that money for signing bonuses
I don’t think the ownership has that kind of cash lying around.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
They have some, but not a whole bunch
but they need to keep a lot of it in reserve for amateur signings. One of the problems is that teams usually don’t see an attendance spike until the season after they have had success. Sure we should see some in August and September, and all 8 Playoff games we host in October, but it may not be enough.

Nice article on Gwynn
He’s no Tony the Gwynn but he’s doing all the little things right. Can’t complain at all with TGJR this year.
Stoked for the game today, can’t wait to get home and watch it on the DVR. I’m expecting Latos to dominate the Dodgers in the throwbacks. Gotta get this series and let the Dodgers know that they can’t just come in to Petco and win.

Just got tickets to the Sunday day game against the Phills
So that’ll make it Saturday for Bobbleheads and Sunday too.
What do you guys think about Oswalt to the Phills? It obviously improves their team big time, think they catch up to the Bravos?

They were already catching up without him.
Just putting that out there.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
So the Phillies kinda hosed the Astros
J.A. Happ, Anthony Gose, and Jonathan Villar to Houston.
Roy Oswalt, $11 million, and the $16 million 2012 option dropped from contract to Philadelphia
Gose was the Phillie’s No. 6 prospect by BA entering the year. Is currently in High A and is considered a huge project.
Villar was ranked No. 22 by BA. Is also in High A. Has plus tools, 38 SB (albiet 13 CS), although has virtually no power and has committed 42 errors so far this season.

Well, the 'Stros just flipped Gose to the Blue Jays

I heard Jerry Crasnick said that the Pads got into the Oswalt race just before he went to the Phils. Is that plausible?
The Spirit of MeatTrain'10!
by DodgerBlueBalls on Jul 29, 2010 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions
I think "race"
Is probably an odd term to use for it. They certainly could put together a package that the Astros wouldn’t immediately say no to. But, I doubt the Phils had a deal worked out, then the Padres pulled ahead and then the Phils sweetened their offer.

Yeppers. It seems to me that the Padres would primarily be targeting a good offensive player who they could stick out in the outfield. But Denorfia’s excellent July is kind of minimalizing that need, I suppose

That's kind of easy to fix
We have 5 OFs that have produced decently this season. If one is having troubling, you can bench him for a bit. We’re very versatile out there.

"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Its hard to replace someone in our OF
Everyone who has been out there has been solid, but unspectacular. You’d have to get a premier player to have an upgrade that was worth the cost.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I see what you did there. May I rephrase that by saying the Padres loss is the Dodgers gain?
Geez, the 2010 Garrett Anderson is really making me forget about the beloved SF Giant-slaying 2002 Garrett Anderson. It’s long been about time to DFA him…

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
So true. I think the consensus around Dodgerville is that Anderson is ready for a trip to the glue factory to be DFA’d, and Xavier Paul is ready to be the back up OF. But the injury to Reed Johnson and now the addition of Scotty Pod was screwed this all up.

Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
I seriously don't think that Denorf's utter mashability discounts the need for a talented OF
All rookies have ups and downs. Even the best ones. While he might be hot now it’s not going to be there all the time. We need more consistency with our production…a good outfielder that other people have heard of.
But are we going to do it? No idea.

Rephrasing
For someone who hasn’t played consistently in the Majors, he’s going to have ups and downs.
And to his credit, he’s aged pretty damn well lol
And he's played in the majors before this year on top of that.
100 games played in the majors over 4 seasons going into this year. He made his debut when he was 24 and he turned 30 on July 15.

I don't want Dunn
I don’t see how picking up a backup 1B/DH will help us all that much. He’s definitely an upgrade to Stairs, but I don’t think he’s worth a high-level prospect. If we tried to play him every day in the OF, I don’t think he would create many more runs than he would allow in left.
I was dating this girl from Canada... after about a month I found out she didn't know what sport the Padres played, she thought "padre" was spelled p-o-d-r-a-y and she thought it was some kind of a fish. Dealbreaker.
I Agree...
We need an every day outfielder like
C. Hart!! He can hit for average and has the longball, plus I bet he would fit in with OUR teams vibe going on. PLEASE Padres add a big bat to this team right now. A .200 batting average has gotten us this far along with timely hits but I cant take the stress for much longer

It looks like Tejada is on his way
Its not a big bat and our defense will suffer, but he’ll probably replace Cabrera for the time being.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Although the only evidence
Is that Tejada (who plays 3B for the O’s) was scratched and that Josh Bell (their AAA 3B prospect) was also scratched from today’s lineups.

that Tejada’s offensive advantage vs. LH would offset his defensive inferiority at 3B.

Not a major pick up but one that was needed.
It will be nice to spell Chase and not limited Jerry Jr. Although Wynn was a personal favorite of mine. :,(

I liked him better when I thought he could be a starter.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Still, Pelzer was a legit prospect that we gave up for a roster filler.
One that would’ve cost nothing in the off season. I think we overpaid.

Peralta went for a worse prospect. We should have paid something similar to that.

Is saying this deal will ruin chemistry and that it was not a very good deal.
Im thinking:
Headley 3B
Tejada SS
Hairston 2B
I know.
I personally think it was good for a small scale, cheap deal.
They only have to pay Migs 2 million and get some veteran experience and leadership

Tejada will bounce between 3rd and SS
With Eck and Everth always hurt…and Chase needing a break
this is a good deal.

When Eck comes back, then I see Eevee going down and Jairston platooning with Tejada.

he’s going to be better than Everth’s been.

Hopefully he hits better than he has so far this season because his UZR at SS is ghastly.

His DRS is even worse
And I respect that stat a little more.

This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
Wonko, a question
Is it possible for Tejada to have his numbers increase since he’s switching to the NL? He was facing some seriously better pitching in the AL, especially in his division.

http://lobsterstuffedwithtacos.tumblr.com
by matthewverygood on Jul 29, 2010 3:06 PM PDT reply actions
I expect his numbers to change
For the simple fact that he is playing for something now. He has a reason to perform well now that he is on a contending team. That was his problem in Baltimore. He couldnt do what he did best, which is compete.
by TheMiracleTeam on Jul 29, 2010 3:09 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, but that's not really quantifiable

Oh
Its tough to predict. The NL is actually statistically a better pitching league. But its tough to compare to the AL because of the difference in competition and hitting.
by TheMiracleTeam on Jul 29, 2010 3:14 PM PDT up reply actions
maybe
but the West is the best division for pitching in the NL (of course, he doesn’t have to face the Padres)
He was batting in one of the most hitter friendly parks.
And now he’s moving to one of the worst. So that doesn’t bode well.
"Never have a motto, that's what I always say" - Me
I thought it'd move from less HRs to more doubles
if you can hit the ball, you can hit the ball. just doesn’t go over the fence often at Petco.
Petco is a bad doubles and triples park too
It suppresses all offense.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Yes
But wRC+ takes that into account and he’s still only an 82 at that (100 is average). Cabrera has been worse, but with better defense.
wRC+ is like OPS but minus the annoying bias towards slugging.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
So, what's our geneal feelings on Tejada being the newest Padre?
I think we could have done better, but if he can help us win games down the stretch, then i’ll be happy to have him aboard.

yep
he helps us out by adding depth and spelling Everth, who really is having an awful year. other than filling in a potential hole, it’s not an impact move in any way. but maybe he’ll be hot for a month…that’s all we really need.
Everth will look good in a Beaver uni
Let him run wild there.

I could see them sitting there until the Sept call up
will they both pass waivers?

I could see Philly finding a place for him or something. Salazar is pretty cheap, a second division team might take a chance (like we did last year).

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Yeah, we give up too much defensively if we keep Stairs.
But I think they will keep him around because of his late-season experience and his big bat in a pinch hitting role.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Tejadas got a worse UZR and Fielding Percentage that Cabrera.
Tejada .946 Fielding percentage, -4.6 UZR and -7.3 UZR/150.
Cabrera .968 fielding Percentage, +1.9 UZR and +5.7 UZR/150
This season was built on pitching and defense. I thought we established it was better to have a premium defender than to have a negative value defender who offers a slight to moderate upgrade on offense. I don’t like us making these types of moves to “upgrade” the club. If it’s strictly to add depth, okay. But this is a good path to destroy what’s been built this season.
"Never have a motto, that's what I always say" - Me
Everth's wOBA is .244 this season

Count me in as a supporter of the Tejada deal
As long as he isn’t playing ss on a regular basis. Platoon with Chase against lefties, spot starts at ss.
Which I think is the plan
although i’m not positive. But it does seem that Hoyer knows what has made this season successful.

Until Tejada proves to me that it wasn’t.
