Gaslamp Ball, a San Diego Padres community

Remember back when the nickname "Savior" was first coined? When the Kevin Towers and Sandy Alderson were keeping Chase stuck in AAA, while the team struggled? They said it was about saving money and helping the franchise. Well, the one thing they were trying to avoid was a day when the "Savior" would attain Super Two status. They failed. They should be sacked. Oh, wait...

"There is a case to be made for sweeping changes in part of the Padres' baseball operations. Both amateur scouting and player development have been poor for much of the past decade and, for that, Towers bears some responsibility. But given his body of work over the past 14 years -- heck, his body of work over the past eight months -- what Towers deserved was a "thank you" and a contract extension, not a firing."
