San Diego Padres...feel the excitement!
Published 3/26/2009 by cesarhernandez at Red Reporter
... Brian Giles ---- Back at the turn of the century, Giles would blast close to 40 homers a year, but he hasn’t hit more than 15 homers in a season since 2004. Is Petco Park the reason for the power outage, or is there another, umm, medical reason for the lack of power? Either way, Giles is still the kind of disciplined hitter the Reds could use. He should again walk more than he strikes out and get on base at close to a .400 clip. He’s also the most likely Padre to be traded. Moving his contract will help them make payroll. But will he go? He refused a trade to the Red ...

Where They Stand: San Diego Padres

... Jeff Moorad are taking up the headlines for the Padres this offseason. The Peavy talk all offseason is actually because of the payroll, and the payroll is actually because of the ownership situation. The Padres were ordered to have a payroll limit of about $40 million by owner John Moores. General manager Kevin Towers has said the Padres are around $5 million over that. The only players on their roster that are making at least that much money this season are Jake Peavy and outfielder Brian Giles , so understandably they've been in a ton of trade rumors. All of the talk in ...

No Thank You

... So, Brian Giles says he wouldn’t mind being an Angel. Giles is a good on-base guy but not much else.  Given that the Angels already have a surplus of outfielders, and that Giles has an abundance of personal baggage, the chances of the Halos pursuing Giles are, effectively, zero. Giles should probably just thank his lucky stars that the Padres picked up his $9 million option, and then fade away quietly. ...

It didn't prevent him from smacking 30 homers with a .298 average and 95 RBIs for the 1996 NL West Champs. And it didn't prevent him from getting a game tying double off of Greg Maddux in game 3 of the 1998 NLCS. What I am saying is, he found a way to play with it.

Wrong Brother Syndrome

... Signing Marcus Giles to a minor league deal may seem like no big deal, but I beg to differ. This continues Philadelphia's legacy of signing the lesser brother. Marscus' brother Brian is an on-base machine for the Padres and has had a damn fine career racking up nearly 300 homeruns, with 1000+ rbi and runs scored, an OPS over .900, and a batting average near .300. Of course, I'd never want to get the ...

... mentality going for it as well.  If the Padres explained to Giles that they just couldn’t afford to keep him on, perhaps he’d “settle” for a trade to Seattle.  He’s been open to Arizona, Colorado, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the past. Giles is a great player and a perfect fit for Seattle as a stopgap, and the Mariners would be smart to at least check up on his availability, whether they plan on contending in 2009 or not.

Someone Who Doesn't Want to Play for the Red Sox? Inconceivable!

... "comfortable," in a place where your lifestyle takes precedence over your job, then the Sox surely were making the wrong choice in Giles to be the protection they were seeking with their injury-riddled lineup. If ever you wanted a summation of "East Coast baseball" versus "West Coast baseball"—or really, the Red Sox versus everyone else—here it is. Brian Giles, admittedly an odd bird even in the world of Major League Baseball, will have made $80 million by the end of his playing days. He's 37 years old and doesn't ...

The Red Sox have claimed Padres outfielder Brian Giles off of waivers today. Many believe this is a move to stop him from being claimed by the Rays since the Sox do not need another outfielder at this time. Giles batted .296 with 6 HR and 37 RBI's for the Padres this season. ...

... that are full. One note from Tom Tippett: be careful to differentiate between the “through” count data with the “at” count data.  The advantages to hitter friendly counts and disadvantages to pitcher friendly counts are skewed all funky like unless you look at the “through” count data.  Otherwise the context and meaning of the rest of the at bat is lost. Tough loss today for the Padres.  On the plus side, Brian Giles is off to a fantastic start.
