I was just curious to compare the Opening Day 25 man roster to today's active roster. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the Padres would have been good if they were healthy, they sucked pretty bad right from the start, but it is interesting to see how many guys survived the meat grinder so far. Only 10 guys who started the season on the active roster are still there. Of those 10, only 7 have stayed off the DL, but I'm just going from memory. Here's the Opening Day 25 man roster for 2008.
