    • Seth Smith to Seattle for Brandon Maurer is a done deal.

      Padre Bullpen is looking strong!

He hit .264 in 2nd half with 6 HR and 8 SB and about a 109 OPS+ in just 178 AB (fewer than when he was horrible in the first half with 528 OPS vs 721 in 2nd half).

        Rotisserie value, where Venable fares better, is -1 for 1st half and 16 for 2nd half, per Forecaster

        problem all players have is that if you are horrible in 1st half and decent in 2nd, you can't do enough to convince people that you weren't that bad in the 2nd half. while some players get off to a decent start, narrative is reinforced, and not that much notice when they crater in 2nd half....
        he only started 102 games because he sucked, not because he was hurt.

        • he clearly did not suck in the 2nd half (see stats). he wasn't great, but he didn't suck. sore back and sore foot among the ailments.

          • Suck or not, he's going to be relegated to a back up role if he stays in SD. I think he can thrive in that role as there will be NO pressure to carry the team like there has been the past 3 years.

            • yeah, he could be OK as a sub OF
              of course, he's going to get a pay cut from me for the privilege!

                i've seen the stats. and followed fairly closely last year. we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. GITH is probably right - in a backup role he'd likely be fine.

                  - Venable looks like he's staying.
                  - Quentin won't be moved for perhaps another couple months, if at all. Sounds like the medicals on his shredded knees are really bad.
                  - AJ Preller said not to expect any more big splashes. No Hamels, then?
                  - Josh Johnson has just now started playing long toss. His signing was just announced today. The Padres designated Jake Goebbert, who struggled with the big league club but annihilated AAA last year.
                  Where did you hear this?

                  • minor league depth?

                    The Padres have signed former closer Jose Valverde to a minor league deal, Baseball America's Matt Eddy tweets. San Diego …


                    Pads sign Valverde, Mateo and Elbert.

                      for their fans' sake, I hope so. Elbert may prove useful if his elbow holds up.

                        yeah I doubt any of these guys sees a ML inning. The Padres are very deep in the pen. Very.
