Also.....I thought Lamet would be a shoe-in for the rotation, health permitting. Is he really just a maybe at this point?

If they're serious about contending in 2020, I don't see how he can't be the closer or part of a closing tandem if they go after another stabled closer in FA or through trade. He wasn't traded last deadline, so I presume he'll be the closer once again.Originally posted by Gregg View Post
But Preller has proven he'll trade anyone if the splash is big enough.
But yeah, he'll be the closer.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

I love the guy too, but right now-- Preller won't be advocating a Hope you get it together soon kid, kind of mentality. He's healthy, but still needs to work on his control, if he can show improvement in ST, he should be in the rotation. I see him a tick above Lucchesi stuff-wise so If I were guessing I'd say Lamet gets the nod over Joey--I really think Joey is moved in a deal to obtain some of the other names I mentioned coming in--Originally posted by harmon View PostIf I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

He struck out almost 13 per nine and lowered his era half a run from his rookie season, while coming back from TJ. If they don't start him i hope they trade him to someone who will. I guess we find out in spring if not sooner.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View Post---------------------------------------------

Going from Minute Maid Park to Petco Park would probably lower Gerrit Cole's already awesome ratios. And there's also the DH thing. Or the lack thereof.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Like I've said--if he continues to improve in the walk cat, he'll enter elite territory. BUT, the walks have contributed to him not going deep and making a crucial mistake after said walks causing more damage than the Padre offense can overcome.Originally posted by Judge Jude View Post
Say-Cole, Paddack, Richards, Lamet and Gore----Hell Lamet could end up 5th in that rotation if they all pitch to expectations.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Brean Outrighted to AAA, Yardley DFAd. Nix DFAd (I should have mentioned him after the doggie door incident lol) Carl Edwards Outrighted and is now a FA. I'm kind of surprised Kinsler is still on the roster, but he's a pal of Tingler and Preller...….Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostIf I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

And so it begins.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View Post
Many will bemoan the loss of Urias, but not I. The Padres have had exactly ONE position player in the past 10 years become what everyone touted them to be--Tatis Jr. So forgive me if I'm not on the--the Padres just traded Roberto Alomar Jr part deuax.
I like the addition of Grisham, he a LH bat which the Padres were in need of (though they could add more) He's got a spot in the OF so prepare for the dominos as others have to go buh bye.
Davies is a mid, back end of the rotation arm better than Lauer and possibly Lucchesi whom I now believe will be packaged in another deal.
The rotation is shaping up thus
TOR arm yet to be acquired, Paddack, Richard, Lamet, Davies
Pomeranz will be great in theBP and though 4 years is more than I'd have given him, it was apparently what it took to get him. He was great in SD before--I hope he is again.
The deal I'm intrigued about (rumored) is one that nets Profar and Treinen from the A's. Not sure who they'd give up to get them, but both would help the Padres get deeper and thus better.
Stick around folks it's just getting started in SD and BTW--Those new Brown unis are outstanding!If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
