Jed Hoyer, assistant GM of the Red Sox, is among the names I've heard today for the Padres' GM job.

Have it on good authority the next #Padres GM won't come from Arizona (Moorad's old team) or from the SD ranks. Could be interesting. #MLB

One club insider said he thought the chances of Moorad retaining Towers were no better than 50-50.

Kouzmanoff scratched from tonight's lineup. Salazar hitting 5th playing LF. Headley moves to 3B.

This isn’t spin, these are facts. 86% of 40 game plans are flat or down with an 11% weighted average decrease. 66% of 20 game plans are flat or down with a 13% weighted average decrease. We have eliminated advanced pricing and premium pricing – there is now only one individual game price. Full season plans are 35% off the individual game price. 40 game plans are 30% off the individual game price. 20 game plans are 25% off the individual game price. Yes, some limited 20 and 40 game areas had increases over 2009, but 40 and 20 game plan holders are very important to us – which is why they still get substantial discounts over the individual game buyer. Thank you for your support, Tom Garfinkel President, San Diego Padres
