The Padres middle infield situation is getting murkier. It was just last Thursday that shortstop Jason Bartlett and second baseman Orlando Hudson were replaced by shortstop Everth Cabrera and second baseman Alexi Amarista. But things haven't improved appreciably since that move was made May 17 and it's worth keeping an eye on Class AAA Tucson where Logan Forsythe is leading off as the shortstop and Jedd Gyorko is hitting in the No. 2 slot as the second baseman. Footnote: Beamer Weems is the very best defensive shortstop in the Padres organization. He played third base Tuesday so that Forsythe could hone his skills at short. Forsythe, who is eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list June 4, is hitting .345 in his rehab assignment with Tucson. Gyorko has homers in each of the past two games and is hitting .305 in the week he has been promoted from Class AA San Antonio. With the Padres thus far, Cabrera is 2-for-21 as a hitter and Tuesday failed to turn an easy gr...

San Diego Padres starter Tim Stauffer has received a second opinion on his sprained right elbow from Dr. Lewis Yocum.
Manager Bud Black did not have a report on Stauffer's exam Thursday before the Padres played the New York Mets.
Yocum, the Los Angeles Angels' physician, performed reconstructive elbow surgery Wednesday on Stauffer's teammate, left-hander Cory Luebke...

The problem with the Padres playing on the East Coast is the early start times. Usually I'm out doing something around 4 or even earlier, and I often miss most of the games. This last series with St. Louis was no exception. But after reading all the recaps for all the games I realized that I really didn't miss a whole lot. I did see most of the first game, which was the best...
San Diego Swept Away In St. Louis.
The Padres began their marathon 10 game road trip in lousy fashion, losing three straight to the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. After beating the Angels in an extra-inning thriller, the Padres lost a heartbreaker to the Cardinals in their first game on Monday night.

Due to family being in town recently, I haven't been able to watch many Padres games. Lately I've been able to sneak away for a few minutes and catch the tail end of games, but last night I was unable to watch any of it. However, after reading the recap it appears that I didn't miss out on too much. Going against Adam Wainright is no easy task to begin with, but to face...

Every now and then the Padres can surprise everyone. After getting swept by the Cardinals, they are now in New York taking on the Mets. The rain came in and the Padres decided that when it rains, it pours. After the rain delay the hits just started coming. It was almost as if they were baptised by the hitting gods and decided to hit when it mattered. They did a great job racking...

Orlando Hudson didn't get the starting nod after officially joining the White Sox on Tuesday, but thanks to the Minnesota Twins blowing out Chicago by a 9-2 score, Hudson got in the game. The 34-year-old veteran singled in his lone at-bat, and he made his first-ever major league appearance at third base. Hudson was told after the loss that he would start at third base Wednesday...

Memorial Day weekend is a great time for baseball.
Families around the northeast will have their first traditional BBQ of the year. I love Memorial Day because (with respect to Gary Keith and Ron), I enjoy sitting outside and listening to the WFAN broadcast while enjoying some delicious BBQ.
This weekend, the San Diego Padres head east to join the Mets for the start of the longest...
