Chase Headley goes 1-for4 in return, Cameron Maybin to DL
As expected, Chase Headley was able to make the series finale between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He return comes one month after he suffered a fractured thumb during spring training. Of course, to make room on the roster, the Padres had to make a corresponding move. Unfortunately, that move was placing another starter, Cameron Maybin, on the DL.

Padres activate 3B Headley, put CF Maybin on DL
Third baseman Chase Headley was back in the lineup Wednesday night for the San Diego Padres, who put center fielder Cameron Maybin on the disabled list with a sore right wrist.
Headley, who missed the first 14 games of the season with a broken left thumb, was activated from the DL and batted third in the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Headley was injured sliding...
San Diego Padres Activate Chase Headley, Place Cameron Maybin On DL
MLB News: The San Diego Padres made a pair of moves on Wednesday, activating third baseman Chase Headley from the 15-day disabled list while placing outfielder Cameron Maybin on it.
Fantasy Ramifications: Headley, who always had a bandwagon but never the horse, came into his own in 2012 going for 31 home runs and a .286 batting average. He is considered a very solid fantasy third...

Projecting Stolen Bases Using SBO% and Success Rate
Last year there were many disappointments in the stolen bases department: Michael Bourn, Elvis Andrus, Erick Aybar, Alex Gordon, Aaron Hill, Austin Jackson, and Cameron Maybin.
All of these players have one thing in common as the reason for their declined success on the base-paths – a decreased stolen base opportunity percentage.

Mixed-League Sleepers: Hitters
In most fantasy baseball leagues bench spots are limited, and usually reserved mostly for pitchers since they’re more easily interchangeable due to playing once every five days instead of everyday like most position players. So sometimes a fantasy owner won’t have more than two or three hitters on his or her bench. Cody Ross, Nick Markakis and Michael Cuddyer – late-round guys...
2013 X-Factor: San Diego Padres
The 2013 Padres are pretty definitively Chase Headley's team. He's the star, the face of the franchise, and the best player on the team. I'd say that Yasmani Grandal and Cameron Maybin are the next most important members of the squad. But there's a player on this Padres team that really isn't getting much attention, and I think he can have a huge impact on the...
White Sox Peavy roughed up in spring debut
Jake Peavy gave up an RBI double to Chase Headley and three runs overall in his first start of spring training, and the Chicago White Sox lost to the San Diego Padres 4-0 Sunday.
Peavy gave up five hits in three innings. Cameron Maybin and Nick Hundley each had RBI doubles off the former Padres star.
Padres starter Clayton Richard made his first spring start, too. He walked two...
Daily Friar 2.21.13
Tomorrow is the first game of spring training. As I put out there the other day, Sean O’Sullivan will be making the start for the Padres against the Mariners. It is a great opportunity for him as he grew up in the San Diego area and went to many Padres games as a kid. I love this time of the year, because we get to see everybody on the roster and how they are faring from last season...
Will Cameron Maybin ever put together a complete season?
Maybin’s career could split two directions. Image courtesy of Flickr.
Consider me a doubter.
Maybin has shown signs he can provide a combination of speed and power that led him to be drafted 10th overall in 2005. In 2007, he was a hot enough prospect to be the key player dealt by the Tigers to the Marlins in the Miguel Cabrera deal. Three years later, his stock had fallen enough...

If You Miss Out On...
I recently finished a top-350 list for the site and found (as there is each baseball season) some great values in the later rounds. I decided to take a look at some players who can get you similar stats if you miss out on someone in the top-100. Note, I?m not saying that the production will be matched but said production could be closer than you think. Also, the players discussed...
Fanfest 2013 Recap
Fanfest is unique.
It is not Spring Training; it is not team photo day. The once-a-year event is special. Fanfest is, at the risk of oversimplifying, personal.
The 2013 version of the event, I am told by the Padres, drew almost 14-thousand fans. This number is not as remarkable as how the event ma
kes fans feel. The event makes fans feel like just one… as in one-on-one...

There are some enticing pieces to share with you all today. Padres have claimed a new pitcher, who has some decent stuff (just not the greatest numbers). Also we have more news on which television companies will be carrying Padres games (spoiler alert: Time Warner is still out). Also we have a disgruntled fan taking to social media, some questions that need to be answered, and a...

Peter Bourjos is Cameron Maybin
In yesterday’s post about the fallout from the Josh Hamilton signing, I noted that the Angels could use Peter Bourjos as a pretty attractive trade chip, and predictably, a decent amount of people responded that Bourjos is nothing more than a fourth outfielder or defensive replacement because he can’t hit. This sentiment has been around for a while, since Bourjos came up and...
WATCH: Cameron Maybin pranked at burger joint
What would sports be without the hilarious pranks teammates play on each other? Teammates Yonder Alonso, Andy Parrina, and Cameron Maybin took a trip to a local burger joint, and what was supposed to be a casual lunch turned into a genius prank by Alonso and Parrina on the unsuspecting Maybin.

Worst trade ever? 5 years later Marlins-Tigers Miguel Cabrera deal looks historically lopsided
SCOTT JACOBS
Almost five years later the deal that sent Miguel Cabrera to the Tigers looks worse and worse for the once again irrelevant ‘Miami’ Marlins.
With Cabrera moving into first place in all three triple crown categories and the Marlins buried in last place 25 games under .500, after a year that appeared so promising, the trade that netted the Marlins a giant pile of nothing...
Video: Cameron Maybin leaps high over the wall to rob homer
Saturday brought us yet another candidate for catch of the year as San Diego Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin hauled in a beauty. The play occurred in the very first inning of the Padres home game against the San Francisco Giants. With two outs, Giants outfielder Xavier Nady crushes a drive high and deep toward the center-field wall. That's when Maybin rises up and robs Nady...
Daily Friar 9.28.12
I guess things come around full circle every once in a while. We all know how awful the season started, then how great we were playing in the middle of the season, and now things have gone bad once again. The Padres have dropped another series, this time against the Dodgers. The sad part is they are not losing close games they are getting blown out. Yes we have young pitchers who...
Cameron Maybin Figuring It Out a Second Time
The San Diego Padres didn’t play on Monday, which means the San Diego Padres didn’t win on Monday. We currently live in a world in which this is an infrequent occurrence. We currently live in a world in which the Padres, Orioles, and A’s keep on winning, and the Red Sox have one of their worst rosters people can remember. In some ways this was a gradual shift and in other ways...
Daily Friar 9.11.12
You know the offense is having a good night when two guys on the team are one hit away from the cycle. Funny thing is each was holding the hit that the other needed. Cameron Maybin had the home run, double and single; Logan Forsythe had the triple, double, single. On top of all their offense, Chris Denorfia added 4 hits to the mix of his own. All this came against a team who is making...
Padres 11, Cardinals 3
Cameron Maybin hit a two-run homer, Will Venable had three RBIs and the San Diego Padres handed the struggling St. Louis Cardinals an 11-3 loss on Monday night.
The loss dropped the Cardinals 9 1-2 games behind first-place Cincinnati in the NL Central. St. Louis, which has lost four of five, had its lead cut to one game over the idle Los Angeles Dodgers for the second NL wild-card...
