    Not arguing with you, I don't agree with FBP so I guess I'm arguing with him, but I don't see much of an argument there.

    I just wanted to understand how you arrived at you takes re: the Padres middle relief, that's all.

      GITH. The team hits very poorly vs RHP. In the starting lineup there are 3 LHH, 2 of which are having poor years (Grisham and Croneworth). Again poor roster construction. Preller gave up much too much to get Nola who along with Alfaro have thrown out 2 of 21 batters and barely hit their weight. I have also watched most of the Padre games and don’t share your optimism. Their positive record has been against the dregs of the league. They have a losing record against teams who are above 500. They are on the verge of being swept by the Cardinals after losing two games in which they were tied or had the lead in the late innings. Can’t even imagine where they would be without Rogers (credit Preller here). I also see them being hampered at the trade deadline unless they blow thru the cap. On a positive note, they are not the Phillies.

          The deal for Nola was indeed poor in retrospect as many deals in MLB can seem years after the fact. I like Alfaro's arm a bit more than you seem to and I'd make a small wager, Nola is gone by or at the deadline, I see Contreras being brought in along with Happ for depth. As for construction of the roster--I believe the lockout hindered what Preller had planned. He went after Gallo, Schwarber and Reynold--all who are lefties (Reynolds is a switch, but then so if Profar so they have 4) I don't see the issues you do--I see a team hitting league avg with most of their guys underperforming and only 2 playing above their career avgs and without Tatis. I see a team that, like every other, has dealt with significant injury yet have a great record--keeping in mind, they only hoped to be close when Tatis returned so to me, they've far exceeded expectations. They're not the Dodgers, nor will they ever be. Half the BP are guys who might not even BE on the roster if Pomeranz, Adams and Johnson hadn't gotten hurt. I've noticed a trend with some Padre fans, they expect perfection after years of mediocracy, they're out of patience and they've lost sight of the big picture.

          I'll say it right here and now--this team hasn't played it's best baseball, not even close. They will soon enough and without wholesale changes. I say that because I believe Melvin makes that much of a difference and as the Padres get healthy, strengthen their bench and BP--they will prove to be one of the best team in the NL and possibly MLB. I believe they'll make the playoffs and give LA a run to the wire like SF did last season. They have a real shot to sweep most of the post season awards--Manager of the Year, MVP, Cy Young and ROY. Will they? Probably not but the mere fact we can have that conversation--realistically--is more than any Padre fan has ever enjoyed.

          Keep being pragmatic, you'll balance my optimism and in the end I believe we both want to see them succeed.

          Keeping the Faith.

            Really bad blown save for Rogers tonite. 4-1 lead in the 9th and he gives up 4 runs w/o getting an out to blow the save and the game. Also blew a save earlier in the week. His job probably is still safe tho for now.

                      Thanks for the reverse jinx.

                      Since this post Profar leads the Padres in WAR, wRC+, SB and OBP as wells as being tied or one behind in HR's runs and RBI.

                      And tonight he's 2-4 with 3 runs and 3 RBI

                      Padre fans thank you!

                      PS. Suarez to the IL, Morejon called up.

                        A few notes.

                        Myers is our with a Knee (not that anyone has him rostered outside of NL onlys) and has opted against surgery so it's 6+ weeks and a good chance he'll be replaced at the deadline even though Mazara is hitting for Avg (sample) he's most likely not the guy who'll be there come season's end.

                        Profar has entrenched himself as their leadoff hitter and currently owns the 2nd best OPS on the team.

                        Grisham, Voit and Cronenworth have all started to come around at the plate.

                        Tatis had a CT scan yesterday and the fact there's NO info yet makes me feel, he's still a ways away from swinging the bat--making his return in July at the earliest (there are rumblings this could stretch out for a while.)

                        Even without Fernando, the Padres are off to their best start in history through 62 games.

                        Enjoy.

                            It's mid-June and Tatis can't swing a bat. In a redraft 12 team H2H with 3 IL slots do you drop him if you have 3 other significant injuries?

                                Tough call. Maybe. Obviously he will get claimed, but I'm thinking we're not going to see Tatis until mid-August at the earliest, if at all.
