Update: Per Bill Center at the SDUT Thatcher, Baker, Hundley, Headley, and Stauffer have agreed to deals. At this point we only know...

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...

The San Diego system is deep. What’s most impressive is that the organization has been able to bulk up its minor league depth through a variety of methods: drafting, international free agency and trades. In particular, scouting director Jaron Madison had an outstanding draft in 2011. Even with the loss of some of its front office talent much more remains. The loss of young hurler...

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...

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...

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...

Woohoo!! We are exactly one month away from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp. Spring training is on the horizon and slowly but surely it is almost here. The Rangers will have one more arm in their rotation when they break camp in a month. Yesterday they signed the top foreign prize in Yu Darvish. 6 years, $60M on top of the $51.7M they had to pay to win rights to discuss...
