"He’d hit over .300, and he’d definitely hit 35 or 40 home runs because he’d have protection. It’s amazing the things he’s done with nobody hitting around him in San Diego. He broke the (team) record for walks in one month (32 in June), and then came back and still hit. He’s never had any protection. So I think he’d be amazing for anywhere that has protection for him."</p> </blockquote> <div class="source"><p><a href="http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1209257">Heath Bell on Adrian Gonzalez</a> via <a href="http://padres.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/11/hot_links_for_tuesday_oct_3.html">Friar John's Blog</a></p></div> http://www.gaslampball.com/2009/11/3/1113416/i-think-if-he-didnt-have-to-be-the jbox 2009-11-02T20:41:21Z 2009-11-02T20:41:21Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/2009/11/02/sox-farm-director-hazen-declines-padres-job/">Hazen Declines Padres Job&nbsp;Offer</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>According to a baseball source, Red Sox farm director Mike Hazen declined an offer to become the Assistant General Manager of the Padres.</p></div> http://www.gaslampball.com/2009/11/2/1111614/hazen-declines-padres-job-offer Drama 2009-11-02T19:11:08Z 2009-11-02T19:11:08Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://www.sporcle.com/games/MisterPleasant/padres_opening_lineups">Can you name the Padres Opening Day Lineups from 2000 to&nbsp;2009?</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>A fun little quiz that I may or may not have been involved in making.
