Via Friarhood  |  January 05, 2012
I had a trade-analysis article done. It was finished… But then Bud Black says that Carlos Quentin will be the Padres primary left-fielder. Scrap article and start over… In my first piece I argued that Quentin should play RF for the Padres thereby allowing Kyle Blanks to play LF thereby relegating Will Venable to either the bench or trade-bait status. But since the decision...

Do the Padres and Braves Match Up For an Outfielder?

Via Chop-N-Change  |  January 03, 2012
After the San Diego Padres traded for Carlos Quentin of the Chicago White Sox this past weekend, they seem to be flush with outfielders. Are the Atlanta Braves a good match for one of their several corner outfielders?Maybe, maybe not. It's established that Cameron Maybin is going to be starting in center field for them in 2012, as he should. I think at this point in time, he...

  According to Corey Brock's newest article, the Padres roster is nearly all set. I can see them adding a couple bullpen arms as we are all suspecting Zumaya gets signed. Also once Fielder signs I still think Rizzo gets traded at some point. The third article down is from Baseball America and there is a list of who gets what draft pick in the upcoming draft.
