The San Diego Padres Thread

[Fin Fan in Cali]

I am really looking forward to Peavy, Young, and Hoffman pictch tonight in the all star game. As for the second half of the season, I hope Milton Bradley can add some hits and fire power to this lineup. If they can't they need to look for another stick before the trade deadline.

They can not rely on pitching alone. If they look to move someone in a trade, I won't miss Jose Cruz Jr at all. I am really happy with Bud Black so far, a huge improvement over Bochy who used to wear out his arms.:wink:

Does Kevin Towers pull the trigger to get Dunn? I sure hope so. We need a stick in that lineup.:wink:

Problem with Dunn is if he's traded it voids the final year of his contract making him a rent a player for a few months before he can become a FA. Would make him cheaper to get I'd think which could be good in the long run.

I hear you bro, but I think he would like playing for the Padres and the manager.:wink:

Would be better than the Reds that's for sure.

A lot of players come here and they like it here, and Bud Black is doing a good job in my opinion. KT needs to pull the trigger and get Dunn in here or someone who can help put the ball in play, because if the playoffs were to start today, we couldn't even predict what bats would come alive. Greene at shortstop has more home runs then some of the other plyers that you expect homeruns from.

Padres added Scott Hariston from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitcher Leo Rosales. Leo was 1-1 with a 3.28 era in Triple A. They also signed Shea Hillenbrand to a minor league contract. Hillenbrand cleared waivers from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.:wink:
