TheFantasyFix.com Podcast: Chris Garosi
Host Brett Talley (@TheRealTAL) is joined by fellow Fix writer, Chris Garosi (@chrisgarosi). Chris and Brett discuss hot and slow starts both on the mound and at the dish. They touch on guys like Nate McLouth, Everth Cabrera, Matt Kemp, Yoenis Cespedes, Patrick Corbin, Clay Buchholz and many, many more. Give it a listen!
Padres 8, Orioles 4
Alexi Amarista had three extra-base hits and the San Diego Padres matched their season-high with 17 hits, beating the Baltimore Orioles 8-4 Wednesday for a two-game sweep.
Everth Cabrera had four hits and a walk, and Jedd Gyorko had three singles for the Padres, who are 13-6 after a 5-15 start.
John Baker hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the second against Freddy Garcia (0-2)...
Padres 3, Orioles 2
Instead of blowing a lead, the San Diego Padres erased a deficit.
What's more, the comeback came against a guy who hadn't blown a save opportunity since last July.
Chris Denorfia and Everth Cabrera hit two-out RBI singles off Jim Johnson in the ninth inning, and the Padres got a home run from Carlos Quentin in a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.
...
Examining First-Inning Sacrifice Bunts
The other day on our internal message board, the shockingly handsome David Laurila pointed out that the Reds had dropped down a sacrifice bunt in the first inning the other day, and that this had struck him as strange. In exploring the subject further, I found that the practice has not yet evaporated but this there is some hope that it is lessening this season. Or at least, there...
Kershaw gives up 5 runs in Dodgers' 7-2 loss to SD
The Dodgers knew they would be playing without the struggling center fielder Matt Kemp in the series finale against San Diego. They also didn't get the usual start from ace Clayton Kershaw, either.
Kershaw gave up five runs - three earned - and seven hits Wednesday night in the Dodgers' 7-2 loss to the Padres, who completed their first three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium...
Padres dominate Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw gave up his first three home runs of the season in a span of three innings and the San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 on Wednesday night to finish a three-game sweep.
Everth Cabrera, Chris Denorfia and Kyle Blanks all connected off Kershaw (2-2), who entered with a 1.16 ERA in three starts. But the 2011 NL Cy Young Award winner left this one trailing...
Padres 7, Dodgers 2
Clayton Kershaw gave up his first three home runs of the season in a span of three innings and the San Diego Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 on Wednesday night to finish a three-game sweep.
Everth Cabrera, Chris Denorfia and Kyle Blanks all connected off Kershaw (2-2), who entered with a 1.16 ERA in three starts. But the 2011 NL Cy Young Award winner left this one trailing...
Cabrera's error costs Padres in loss to Rockies
DENVER (AP) -- Wilin Rosario and Dexter Fowler homered, helping Jeff Francis and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 Friday in a festive home opener at Coors Field.
Francis (1-0) was ahead of batters all afternoon as he scattered five hits over six sharp innings. The soft-throwing lefty nearly became the first Rockies starter to eclipse the 100-pitch mark in 106 games...

How To Do A Snake Draft: A Flow Chart
If you have a draft coming up this weekend and you have no idea what to do, I have the answer for you. The answer is the image below which is a flow chart for you to follow during your draft. There are three tracks you can follow depending on who you select in the first round. It’s up to you who that person is so long as you select a first baseman, outfielder or Miguel Cabrera...
Padres 3, Rangers 1
Texas Rangers left-hander Derek Holland pitched six innings in his first start since returning from the World Baseball Classic, giving up three runs and six hits in a 3-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Monday.
Holland struck out seven and walked on and also had an RBI single in the second inning.
Elvis Andrus was 2 for 5 with a double for the Rangers, extending his spring hitting...
The Platoon Advantage: Shortstops
As we continue through our platoon advantage series, it pays to keep in mind a few simple rules of thumb when using this information to build roster. First and foremost, it is information. I am often surprised myself when I look up the information on all of these players. Bill James once compared advanced metrics to art. If you think of a player as a portrait you will be ahead of...

Fantasy Tiers Of A Clown: Shortstops
Here are my five tiers for fantasy shortstops during exhibition play, with a nod toward 5x5 roto leagues.
In 12-team drafts, it's imperative for owners to grab one of the stars listed in the first two tiers. Mathematically speaking, though, one or two teams would be left out in that scenario ... meaning they'd have to get creative when the draft-day game of musical chairs...
Padres 7, Dodgers 5
Zack Greinke was hit hard in his second spring training appearance, allowing three doubles and a triple over three innings Friday as a Los Angeles Dodgers' split squad lost to the San Diego Padres 7-5.
After pitching two scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox in his first game after signing a $147 million, six-year contract, Greinke allowed two runs and five hits, avoiding...
What I like About Fantasy Baseball
Fantasy baseball is beginning again. Let’s celebrate! Photo courtesy of M. Seamans.
Okay, I admit it, fantasy baseball has me completely hooked.
That’s probably not much of an admission, since you’re either familiar with me and the site, or you’ve stumbled onto a fantasy baseball site and probably deduced that someone writing about fantasy baseball is probably a fan. Still...
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...
Daily Friar 2.20.13
Well here we go again. Just when things were starting to settle out and we were coming to terms with Yasmani Grandal, two more Padres have appeared on a list from the same clinic. This time Everth Cabrera and Fautino De Los Santos are named in documents from the clinic that the MLB is investigating. Now this isn’t to say that Cabrera or De Los Santos necessarily used anything illegal...
Five more outed in another Biogenesis leak
So baseball insiders weren't kidding when they said there was more Biogenesis stuff waiting to come out, were they?
The likes of Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun have dominated the headlines in the past month, but as more documents from the Miami anti-aging are leaked to the press, more names are being made public. Today, ESPN outed five more: San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera...
What Can Brown Inject In You
The Scrap Of Scraps
Tonight, the big story in MLB is another dose of who got connected to the infamous Biogenesis clinic, and this will lead to a fresh round of tedious Hell In A Handbasket / Legalize It posts... but that's not where I'm going here. Instead, I'd like to roll out the list of guys who have been implicated to date:Everth Cabrera, SS, San DiegoJordan Norberto...
Two Padres Linked to Miami Clinic
Everth Cabrera – Photo by: SD Dirk
Two Padres in addition to Yasmani Grandal have surfaced in connection with Biogenesis of America clinic ran by Anthony Bosch. ESPN is reporting that shortstop Everth Cabrera and recently claimed pitcher Fautino De Los Santos have surfaced in connection with the Miami clinic.
Sources said the players, like those who have been named in previous...
4 Late Round Picks to help you fill those Thin Middle Infield Positions
Can Dustin Ackley put his miserable 2012 behind him? Photo courtesy of Lisa Blumenfeld. Let’s be honest, second base and shortstop suck this year. It’s a few guys each position then…suckage. Sure, you can find a gym in later rounds if you’re looking for a particular category (Jed Lowrie and homers, for instance), but these are shallow positions. If you are in a 12+ team league...

Three for the Show: Shortstops
This is the fourth (not even halfway yet) in a ten-part series where I will identify the top three players at each position in the Padres’ minor league system. Up next: Shortstop.
Finding MLB potential at shortstop is not an easy proposition in the Padres’ minor league system. There are guys who can hit and guys who can pick it, but there’s no sure-fire player that looks to...
2013 Fantasy Baseball Rankings – Shortstops
This is the fourth article in the series of our 2013 fantasy baseball rankings looking at the position of shortstop. Much like at second base, there is a lack of quality depth at this position, especially when you account for two players that also qualify at second base are in the top 11 in Ben Zobrist and Danny Espinosa.
If you are looking for stolen bases later in the draft, you...
