- Live Padres Chat with Tom Krasovic - Friarhood
Friarhood just concluded a Live Chat with Tom Krasovic. I love me some Tom Krasovic. Here's his thoughts on the Rizzo trade.I like the idea of bringing a power arm into Petco Park. Cashner needs to reduce his walks. The best pitching environment in MLB improves his chances of doing that. I didn't see urgency to trade Rizzo, but since the Padres believe Alonso is the better fit for them, it made sense to move him. I don't think the Padres handled Rizzo well last year, and that lowered his trade value, as did the trade for Alonso.

Alonso feels like he is a line drive hitter, so Petco Park shouldn't have much affect on him. He's ready to work. Hat tip: @Padres - San Diego Padres (padres) on Twitter
Josh Byrnes attended his first tweetup at Bub's last night but everyone is keeping the happenings very close to their vest. Maybe Gaslamp Ballers Wonko or Darklighter do some Gaslamp Ballin' and write us a FanPost. [UPDATE] Oh look, while I was bitching Wonko wrote a recap. -
