I'm sure that Giles would be nice addition, but does it really address a need? The Padres would be given up a prospect with huge upside potential, including...
I think the added offense of a Giles would be a good plus for the Padres. He's actually not that high priced when compared to people with similar production...
Where do you put Giles in the field? From what I heard, Rondell White is well liked in the club house and might be getting a 2-year deal. Kotsay will still...
Ideally the Padres will still deal White. I'm pretty sure they put him on waivers so they can. He might be well liked but this is the first season in...
I'd still prefer to see them Keep Nady. He's only 24 and Kendall & Giles are both in their 30's. It doesn't make sense to give up a decent start and two good...
Giles is an allstar player of the top caliber. sure he's in his 30's but he's still got plenty of years left of high producing offense. Kendall on the other...
I guess will just have to wait and see. It doesn't look like much is going to happen right now anyway. ... 30's but he's still got plenty of years left of...
From what I've read the deal was all worked out except for how much money the Pirates would pay for Kendall's contract. It might happen in the offseason. Toga...
But I think they were about $10 million apart as far as how much money the Pirates would pay. ... money the Pirates would pay for Kendall's contract. It might...
Basically the Padres have the Pirates over a barel as the Padres are the only team that the Pirates would be able to trade both players to. So KT is pretty...
We'll see. I've met Kevin Towers and while he seems like a nice guy, he seems overwhelmed by the responsibilities of being a general manager. It was...
I don't know...he seems like he really enjoys what he's doing. I don't know about bochy but the owner figures big time into trade discussions. Toga We'll see....
Bochy's role is basically to decide, based on the talent that Towers & Co. provides, who will be on the roster in opening day. He will have some say regarding...
realistically that's the way it's supposed to be. Managers that have a say on what players to acquire...that's just a luxury. Toga Bochy's role is basically...
That just goes to show it is really a joke when a team fires a manager when things are going bad. I was surprised when I found out how little input Bochy...
A good manager can make all the difference in the world for a team. Look at the Marlins this year. since mckeon has been their manager they have been playing...
I am reminded of the following quote from Greg Booker regarding the pitching staff after the Padres fired him as their pitching coach: "You can prepare a...
Well, I'm glad they didn't have to give up Nady to get Giles. I just hope Oliver Perez doesn't turn into a superstar pitcher. I have a feeling that he'll...
Most guys that pitch like that do. I think Dontrel Willis is going to have arm troubles later on with his funky delivery as well. I'm glad they didn't get...
yes, we got tix for all three of the final weekend games the second day single seat tix went on sale. Now, I see Ted is going to be there on Friday... I went...
I've also got single tickets for Friday and Saturday and two tickets for Sunday. Since I am not from San Diego, I didn't see the Chicken at the Murph when I...

you know the Padres need real help with pitching and the infield needs a lot of work they play like their not interested in the game and make errors. this...
Padres are targeting Colon, Millwood, Maddux, and maybe even a trade for the expo's Vazquez. They definately want to get a staff ace to boost the rotation,...
I doubt we'll see any major moves before they move into the new ballpark. The are still in economode. ... trade for the expo's Vazquez. They definately want...
