Apologies….

So I’ve been super busy with work and finals I haven’t had a chance to post on here lately but I have a couple “stat” related posts in the works that should be up soon.
In Padres news since I last posted…………
WE SIGNED A JAPANESE PLAYER!!!!! No not that one but we signed Tadahito Iguchi to [...]

Winter Meetings: Day 4

So in a sudden turn of events Milton Bradley is coming back to the Padres. I have no doubts that he is an excellent player and word has it that he will be ready by the start of the season or near it. Plus it’s a low salary, 1-year deal, reported to be worth 3.5-4 [...]

Winter Meetings: Day 3

Still not much news on the Padre front today. Andruw Jones is apparently going to sign with the Dodgers for an insane 36.2 million 2-year contract. Andruw’s numbers took a huge drop off in his contract year, last year and batted only .222 with 26 homers and 94 RBI’s while striking out 25% of the [...]

Winter Meetings: Day 1

As everyone already knows by now the Padres have reached an agreement to keep Jake Peavy in a Padre uniform till 2012. The deal is expected to be worth upwards to 17 million per season with a no trade clause in tact. This is a great deal for both sides. Jake gets to stay inside [...]

I know…..

This was supposed to be an extremely in depth article about the true value of the stolen bases allowed by the Padres in which I took weeks and weeks to research……… BUT that will have to wait because right now I thought I’d write a bit about all the happenings going on today. The Padres [...]

Random thoughts….

Well here it is! I’m finally starting my very own blog and what better subject to write about on a constant basis than something I know more about than the back of my hand…..the San Diego Padres. I’ve been thinking about doing this for some time now but I just never really got around to [...]
