The Official San Diego Padres Thread

Instead of having one each year, I think it's time it was just a permanent thread regardless of what season it is. First order of business, who the heck is on the Padres now?

Not much to get excited about:

Projected lineup:

RF Brian Giles
2B Tadahito Iguchi
1B Adrian Gonzalez
3B Kevin Kouzmanoff
CF Jim Edmonds
SS Khalil Greene
LF Scott Hairston
C Josh Bard

Projected Rotation:
Jake Peavy
Chris Young
Greg Maddux
Randy Wolfe
Mark Prior

Projected Bullpen:
Trevor Hoffman
Heath Bell
Cla Meredith
Kevin Cameron
Justin Hampson
Joe Thatcher
Wil Ledezma

Third place is the most likely possibility. I would like to both Headley and Antonelli sometime this season, but all in all, nothing to look forward too. Our rotation is still good (pitching as a matter of fact), but outside of Adrian and Kevin (I think he does better this year), our offense is still weak.

I think the Pads will challenge the DBacks all summer long for the West. I don't see the Rockies having the kind of year they had last year. The Pads will be tough this year. I am not that thrilled with Edmonds in CF, but Iguchi at 2B is an upgrade and Kouz really came on in the 2nd half last year. As long as the pitching stays strong they have a shot.

Re: The Official San Diego Padres Thread

Over the weekend the Padres have locked up Khalil for 2-years. He'll still be free-agent eligible after the 2009 season, but it avoids the two arbitration years he'd have under the remaining years under the Padres control.

Re: The Official San Diego Padres Thread

Apparently we are going after 1B Tony Clark and Kevin Towers called Steve Finley and told him to get ready to play/stay in shape.

Once again we will be competative. However we won't make the playoffs and fans in SD will be happy. Everyone else in the division got better during the offseason.

I don't know man. The Dodgers aren't going to change overnight just because of Torre, the Giants didn't do anything big except get rid of Bonds, the Rockies got rid of Jennings, but didn't do anything to make themselves that much better.

Meanwhile, in SD, Kouz has a full season under his belt, Gonzo is working with Gwynn, Greene will be playing for a trade, so you know he oughta put up some decent numbers.

I think the Padres have just as legit a shot as anyone else in the division.

Wife of Moores files for divorce
Not sure how/if it will effect the team. But Moores might now regret moving to California. "I want half"

Good, maybe he'll sell the team to someone who gives a **** about winning.

Tony Clark signs. Now Adrian doesn't have to play everyday.

"Towers indicated on Monday that he and Padres CEO Sandy Alderson will sit down sometime this spring to talk about a new contract or, at the very least, picking up the 2009 option on manager Bud Black's contract."


"The Padres have been linked in at least one Internet report to free-agent outfielder Shannon Stewart, though Towers said unless there's an injury, "I doubt we will bring in any free agents."

Looks like we are stuck with what we have.
