Padres consider wholesale changes
Posted: Wednesday May 21, 2008 07:41AM ET
The Padres have the worst record in the major leagues. They're 13 games out of first place in the National League West. Jake Peavy, the ace, just went on the disabled list. You can almost smell the fire sale coming. Kevin Towers, the general manager, fired a warning shot after Monday's 8-2 loss to the Cardinals. "I'm certainly not going to watch this for another four months," he told reporters. The Padres already cut Jim Edmonds. They could dangle Randy Wolf to the Brewers, Astros, Marlins, maybe even to his original team, the Phillies. They could trade Greg Maddux too, and it would be sweet if they would send him back to the Braves.

well lets see the yard sale. Maybe the yanks can dust off one of their old pitchers and stick him in the line up. Lord knows they need help.

Report Offensive Commentif the yanks could, in any way, pull off a trade for Peavy, they should do it. He's worth a couple old vets and some prospects.

Report Offensive CommentMorning AstrosFan..... He had Tommy John surgery a couple of years back, but I think he had something else last year, like maybe his shoulder. I would guess that he is early 30's.......maybe 32 or 33

Report Offensive CommentProbably just bad team chemistry....not sure if I would fire sale it if I were GM. You just hope and pray that Peavy's deal is a minor setback and some of the vets start hitting as usual. Their pitching isn't very good though.

But that's a touchy subject and a horribly disgusting event.
For the donkey I mean.

Report Offensive CommentHow about moving those fences in about 100 feet? Maybe then their offense wouldn't be so terrible. That was the worst design error ever made, putting that park in San Diego. Kevin Towers should consider hiring the mob to take out the architects, contractors, sub-contractors, and Padres ownership partners for that mistake. There's no way a team should be that bad with the pitching staff that they have. The players can't help that they play in the Polo Grounds of the West Coast.
