Padres 2012 Projected Salaries Updated
I wanted to update the Padres salary projections for 2012. The Padres have plenty of players arbitration eligible, for those players, I inserted the MLBTR projection. It appears the Padres will settle in between 50-55M for the 2012 season.
Update: Per Bill Center at the SDUT Thatcher, Baker, Hundley, Headley, and Stauffer have agreed to deals. At this point we only know...
Padres Tweetup with Josh Byrnes
The Padres general manager Josh Byrnes is meeting fans tonight at Bubs in the gaslamp. As opposed to the "exclusive" beer summit events Hoyer attended, this tweetup event is for all Padres fans, not just a hand picked few. Hopefully, this is the start of tweetup events the Padres will have throughout the year. The event is rather low profile, so I wouldn't expect...
Padres agree to terms with 9 players
The San Diego Padres have come to terms on contracts with catchers Nick Hundley and John Baker and seven other arbitration-eligible players.
Hundley hit a career-best .288 last season with a career-high nine home runs and 29 RBIs. He underwent surgery on his right elbow in July.
The 31-year-old Baker missed most of the 2011 season due to surgery on his right elbow in September...

(Padres Press Release)
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Padres today announced they have agreed to terms with nine arbitration-eligible players on contracts for the 2012 season, including right-handed pitchers Luke Gregerson, Tim Stauffer and Edinson Volquez, left-handed pitcher Joe Thatcher, catchers John Baker and Nick Hundley, infielder Chase Headley and outfielders Carlos Quentin...
Previewing the 2012 Fort Wayne TinCaps: Hitting
Fort Wayne pitching staff
For most of the 2011 season the Single-A Fort Wayne TinCaps relied almost solely on one hitter and one hitter only, Midwest League MVP Rymer Liriano. The offense was so desolate that they were Padre-esque. The 2011 TinCaps scored two or fewer runs in 32 of their first 72 games. Their fortune started changing in the second half when Connor Powers...
Thoughts on losing Simon Castro
When the San Diego Padres acquired Carlos Quentin from the Chicago White Sox, they gave up a couple of pitching prospects in Simon Castro and Pedro Hernandez. We’ve already discussed the trade in general, so now let’s focus more on Castro.
Right hander Simon Castro was signed as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic back in 2006. He was quite raw, obviously...
The Padres and Cake: A Failed Marketing Campaign
During the Kevin Towers administration under Sandy Alderson I had a source in the Padres front office. I also had a source during the Jed Hoyer Era. To call them sources would probably be inaccurate. A source is a person with whom a trusting relationship has been cultivated whereas I just happened to know someone with organizational ties who I could bug for a little information.I...
Daily Friar 1.18.12
Arbitration deadline has passed and numbers have been exchanged. The Padres have done pretty well this year with 9 of the 11 players coming to terms with the team. The only ones that didn't are Clayton Richard and Dustin Moseley. Intersting to note that both pitchers also had their season ended prematurely due to injury and surgery. I'm sure things will be resolved before...
Padres Avoid Arbitration With Carlos Quentin
The Padres announced that they avoided arbitration with outfielder Carlos Quentin and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets that the sides agreed to a $7.025MM salary for 2012. MLBTR had projected a $6.6MM salary for the CAA client.
The Padres have two unsigned arbitration eligible players: Dustin Moseley and Clayton Richard.
Daily Friar 1.16.12
Tomorrow is the arbitration deadline, so expect some new contracts to come rolling in as the day goes on. The Padres lead the league with 11 players eligible, so it will be interesting to see how it goes. All players are expected to get some sort of contract, but to what extent is only speculation at this point. This is the time for extensions to be put in place. I think the...

The introduction to 19 Reasons can be read here. Here's reason One and reason Two. Officially, this is Reason Three.Just as I had never attended Spring Training prior to 2011, Fanfest had also flown off my radar. After the 2011 Padres Fanfest I'm at a loss for why I had never attended. On a beautiful February afternoon . . .I was stuck in the shade for the better part of...
