"If the Padres decline for financial reasons to make a trade that their baseball people recommend, owners John Moores and Jeff Moorad should put the club back up for sale." - Meet the Padres, America's Team -- MLB FanHouse
Meet the San Diego Padres, who rank next-to-last in payroll and are as flamboyant as a Wal-Mart greeter yet lead the National League with a 60-40 record. -
Walk-off win, Tejada have Padres buzzing | padres.com: News

Padres fortify infield by acquiring Tejada | padres.com: News
The Padres' decision to trade for six-time All-Star infielder Miguel Tejada of the Orioles on Thursday was not the machinations of an impetuous general manager by any stretch of the imagination. -
Walkoff is a fitting end - SignOnSanDiego.com
But the fact that they’ve won 97 of 162 games spanning two seasons cannot be ignored.
Tejada of present has less blast than in past - SignOnSanDiego.com
"All we really need is for him to make the routine ball, the routine play," Gonzalez said after the Padres’ 3-2 walk-off win against the Los Angeles Dodgers. "We don’t need anything extraordinary.

Adrian quote on Tejada
We position ourselves in the right place, and the ball is hit nearby most of the time. We haven’t made a lot of spectacular plays this year. We’ve just always been in the right place, and that goes because the pitchers can execute their pitches.
It is possible that with better positioning Tejada could do better defensively. That would also assume that his position with the Astros was not up to snuff (I’ll cut him some slack in Baltimore; first year at 3B and all).
There’s a focus on defensive reliability. Making the routine plays. Krasovic talks about it in a way that it sounds like he got that term from the Padres himself. The term is slightly vague, but given that Tejada’s defensive stats are probably suffering due to a lack of range I wonder if its just spin.
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
They really are "America's Team"
and they’re obviously the exact opposite of the Dallas Cowboys, who never were really America’s Team.
Think about all of the baseball fans out there, with the exception of fans within our division, who are pulling for the Padres to succeed in the stretch. Everyone wants to see it happen!

"If the Padres decline for financial reasons to make a trade that their baseball people recommend, owners John Moores and Jeff Moorad should put the club back up for sale."
Really, Kras? Really?
I can never guess how you're going to react to a quote like that
Like I could just as easily see you saying that.
After all this time I still don’t feel like I know you. It’s because you’ve been so distant.
Right now I really like the direction this ownership group has us going.
I feel like we’re headed in the right direction for the first time in a long time. It’s just such a broad statement it comes off as being totally ridiculous.
Let’s say a guy becomes available to us but he has an enormous salary…like an A-Rod type salary…but our baseball people recommend he’d help the ball club. We just completely throw all financial sense out the window now? Where do we draw the line? $5 million? $20 million? So, if Moorad balks at taking on guy owed $50 million over the next 5 years he should sell the team? Stupid. Kras is better than that. I guess that’s what FanHouse does to you.
I think it was intended to be a little more sympathetic....
“You guys have suffered enough If your ownership doesn’t want to take care of you, they should give the team to someone who will.”
Say what you will about money and talent, I think he was directing the comment elsewhere.

Is it a little weird that
They’re giving away the farm at a time when they don’t have money? I don’t know too much about the situation but, at face value, that’s how I see it.

Very deep.

If you use John Sickels' top 20 prospcets
They’ve so far traded 4 of their top 20 prospects and only 2 out of their top 10 (the #2 and #6). They’ve also promoted their top prospect (Neftali Feliz) to closer. With all those guys gone they still have more talent left than the Padres farm system and its not like our system is that bad. Its just that even guys outside the Rangers top 20 are still good prospects and teams want them.
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
hmmm
Where can I meet this farm and what does she like to drink?
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
They're trying to.
Word is they offered their three top prospects for Josh Johnson. Obviously the Marlins turned it down… but I think that there’s no long term concern for the team because they don’t really have an owner.

Our boy Morosi:

I don't really get a move like that
his numbers don’t look great, might as well let correia keep going out there and do his thing instead of trading for someone not much (if at all) better.
I know they want an innings eater but, come on…

I saw a rumor on MLBTR
About how the Pirates were thinking about dealing either Maholm or Duke and mentioned the Padres in a long list of potential suitors. I’ve seen The Brock tweeting about how we want a guy under team control in 2011. If Morosi just connected the dots and tweeted that he just further provided he’s a total tool.

However, Tom Krasovic of AOL FanHouse hears that the Padres are not discussing a deal for Maholm (Twitter link). Meanwhile, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney hears that the Padres are making progress on a Maholm deal (Twitter link).

UPDATE
3:46pm: The Dodgers and Padres are not the only clubs discussing deals with the Pirates, according to Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (on Twitter). The Mets appear to be involved in discussions for Maholm, according to Scott Miller of CBS Sports.

Twitter conversation between Maholm and a fan
Maholm28: Relaxing day in the Rockies. Unbelievable scenery http://yfrog.com/0nh8tfj 7:07 PM Jul 26th via Twitter for iPhone
sevenwithcheese: Pro Athlete’s using twitter is a really bad idea. I tend to get angry that they don’t seem to give a shit about their futility. about 16 hours ago via web
sevenwithcheesse: For example @Maholm28 is tweeting about his relaxing day in in Colorado. Instead of relaxing … why aren’t you trying to improve yourself? about 16 hours ago via web
sevenwithcheese: I don’t understand how a guy as mediocre as @Maholm28 has been can just have relaxing days … it shows me he just does not care. about 16 hours ago via web
sevenwithcheese: Guys like him are here to pick up a paycheck, and thats it. If they pitch great, or let up 8ER it doesn’t matter to them. It’s just a job. about 16 hours ago via web
sevenwithcheese: @Maholm28 Why have you stopped caring? Is it because you’re on the #Pirates? If so I understand, but it’s infuriating to watch. about 15 hours ago via web
Maholm28: @sevenwithcheese I am sorry I spent an off day with my family. That’s what off days r for to relax. about 4 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sevenwithcheese
sevenwithcheese: @Maholm28 Athletes who truely want to be great don’t believe in off days. Ask Curt Schilling how many off days he had during his career. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to Maholm28
sevenwithcheese: @Maholm28 Surely there was tape you could have been studying to make sure you didn’t allow 8 ER the next day. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to Maholm28
sevenwithcheese: @Maholm28 Also, pitchers only "work" 40 days a year … so lets not pretend like this day was a rarity that needed to be celebrated. about 1 hour ago via web in reply to Maholm28
Maholm28: @sevenwithcheese obviously u know nothing of a pitchers schedule or baseball players in general. Also u know nothing of my preparation 18 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sevenwithcheese
Maholm28: @sevenwithcheese easy for u to say since u don’t play 17 minutes ago via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sevenwithcheese
What a douche. But then again, it can’t be an easy life being a Pirates’ fan.

I have to give Maholm credit for his restraint.
sevenwithcheese sounds like a giant dick.

@Dejan_Kovacevic (Pirates beat writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
#Pirates, #Padres NOT close to Maholm deal, per high-ranking team source. S.D. ‘Just fishing.’
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Any thoughts?
I still feel more confident in Burroughs pitching than Mujica

He's being doing that for over a month now.

with Eck on the shelf and Tejada not having played SS this year
seems risky not to have a late inning replacement
Jerry to Short, Salad Bar to Second.
Or why not Scotty at Second.?

I don't think Everth goes down until Eck is back
My gut tells me they will find an injury for Stairs. He’s over 40. He must have something.

Wonko, you'll like this:
Cabrera’s WAR total of -0.3 ranks him 546th among the 595 National League players on the list. Oddly enough, his total ranks him ahead of Tejada, whose -0.6 total places him 440th among 457 American League players.
Yup
I don’t know if I like it, but I was aware of it.

Hacksaw saying tejada is in the lineup
not sure if he was being literal or just commenting that he was here…
JackCronin1090
Miguel Tejada is in the #Padres lineup, playing shortstop today and hitting 4th. Aaron Cunningham is the odd man out on the 25-Man Roster
.
that sucks…. i guess its too hard to send down SaladShooter after he wins a bi one for us
