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 6.17 ERA in seven games this season for the team.
Estes pitched out of the bullpen recently and hasn't started a big league game since 2006 when he appeared in just one game all season. In 2005 his last season of pitching on a somewhat regular schedule Estes was 7-8 with a 4.80 ERA while a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Once considered one of the best young lefties in the game, the former 1st round pick of the San Fransisco Giants in 1991 is now 35 years old. For his career he is 99-90 with a 4.71 ERA.
