The signing of Shawn Hill has created the possability that multiple San Diego Padre non roster invitees could start the season on the active roster.
Reliever Duaner Sanchez has pitched well this spring and prospect Will Inman ranks as one of the better minor league pitchers in baseball.
However, we’re going to focus on Hill who could [...]

Looks like the San Diego Padres are giving Mark Prior another chance. Last season the Padres paid Prior $1 million to not pitch in any type of game be it spring training or during the season.
It’s been two years since Prior has pitched in a game at any level and now at the age of [...]

Last spring we were talking about Jody Gerut trying to make the San Diego Padres as a non-roster invitee. This winter the guy signed a one year deal worth $1.775 to remain with the club.
He’ll man center field for the club with Brian Giles and Chase Headley likely to man the other two outfield positions.
Last [...]

We’ve known it for a few days but it didn’t exactly make things easier.
Greg Maddux is stepping away from the mound. He’s leaving the ball park and his name will no longer appear in the box score.
Four Cy Youngs, 18 Gold Gloves, and 355 wins (the most since the advent of the five man rotation) [...]

Greg Maddux will officially announce what we all suspected. On Monday the future hall of famer will announce his retirement from baseball. Twenty three years in the big leagues and 355 victories Maddux very well could be the best pitcher anyone reading this ever got to see.
Maddux started his career with the Chicago Cubs in [...]

It looks like Jake Peavy isn’t just going to allow himself to be traded for anything. The star pitcher’s agent recently told the San Diego Union Tribune that he wouldn’t want to be traded for Braves short stop Yunel Escobar because trading a major league quality player for him would make the team behind him [...]

San Diego Padres shortstop Khalil Greene injured his left hand while hitting a storage chest Wednesday night.
Greene was already stumbling though a horrid season hitting just .213 with 10 home runs. There had been more then a few reports that suggested that the Padres were trying to ship the 28 year old but nothing had [...]

Winless in his last 14 starts and facing Arizona a team in which he was just 2-11 with an ERA over 5 the chances of Greg Maddux picking up career win 351 looked bleak Monday night.
Baseball however is a game of uncertainty and the Padres offense scored eight runs off of Diamondbacks starter Micah Owings [...]

After dropping 10 of their last 11 and having the worst record in baseball it’s clear the San Diego Padres will be sellers at the trade deadline.
However the problem for the team is that they don’t have a ton of talent they can trade.
The only productive pieces of the Padres lineup do not figure to [...]

The Padres may have been swept by the New York Yankees but the team can take solace in  the solid start Chase Headley has desplayed with the team.
Headley was 4-for-12 in his three games since his call up hitting a home run on Wednesday night and notching a double Thursday,

Chase Headley continues to hit. It’s a short but true statement about the 24-year-old number one prospect of the San Diego Padres.
After winning the Texas League player of the year award last season Headley was moved from his natural position of third base to left field. Despite a decent spring the Padres opted to send [...]

It may have taken him five tries but Greg Maddux achieved his 350th win Saturday night as the San Diego Padres defeated the Colorado Rockies 3-2 in San Diego.
Maddux retired the Rockies on five pitches in the first and was helped in the fourth when Adrian Gonzalez hit a three run home run to score [...]

To say the San Diego Padres are in panic would be easy to prove as they recently announced a change in their rotation involving Shawn Estes. Estes will take over the fifth starters spot in the San Diego Padres rotation which was held by Justin Germano to start the season. Germano was 0-3 with a [...]

This is one tough task but I’ve decided to try and fine a reason to like each of the 30 teams in major league baseball. Now some were easier to find then others and while some will disagree for the reasoning I’ve done my best I think.
I hope to continue this series by creating a [...]

Heading back out to the west coast we’ll stop down in San Diego to take a look at Jody Gerut. Normally missing the last two seasons will just about kill your chances to make a team but considering the competition he faces, well, uh… we’ll just leave it at that.
Gerut has seemingly aged rapidly right [...]
