When the San Diego Padres dealt Anthony Bass to the Houston Astros for cash considerations or a player to be named later and agreed to also give the Astros cash considerations or a player to be named later, people quickly realized they were essentially trading Bass for one of the Astros' Rule 5 picks. Most people thought the Padres would get Brian Moran. Turns out they got Patrick Schuster. And Schuster is already endearing himself to fans.
What's up @Padres fans?! Got any questions for me? I'd love to hear em.

Let's get a run down of some of the questions and answers, neatly organized so you don't have to do it yourself. See, I'm a giver.

Getting down to business
@mickeykoke I'd have to say it's not a whole lot different. If anything it may not be as heavy stuff during the season.

@mickeykoke I think it's got everything to do with where I've gotten today. Without it I'd just be a normal lefty.

This is important stuff here!

@commandercacho only the authentic stuff. Got any of that in SD?

Fatal flaw?
@Pat_Schuster10 @Padres What is your opinion on the Brown uniforms? There is a big movement to bring back the retro look.

@will61589 oh those are rough, but I'd wear whatever they gave me to pitch out there.

This was a pretty cool thing Schuster did here. Not many athletes will take the time to honestly answer questions. If there is one way to find yourself embedded in the hearts of Padres fans everywhere (like a heart worm) is to actually interact. However, you have to at least fake some love for the brown uniforms!
