Hop on Hawpe - Padres Interested...but does Hawpe have pop?
Brad Hawpe will clear waivers tomorrow, reports Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post, and the Padres "have genuine interest." Renck mentions the Rangers as another potential suitor.
Hawpe would have to play left field for the Padres, who have Ryan Ludwick manning the other outfield corner. Will Venable, Chris Denorfia, and Scott Hairston have been handling left field lately. Padres left fielders have just a .213/.306/.327 line on the season.

Thankfully, the Rays took the choice out of the Padres' hands.
He seems like a much better 1B than RF based on defensive metrics, and with Gonzilla manning that position I don’t see the need.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...

Cognitively aware of the San Diego Padres since about 1980-1981... Fans since '76.
