Vince Faison was a 1st round Padres pick in 1999. He played in Fort Wayne that year and in 2000. In 2004, he was traded to Seattle, then played in the Oakland system. He made it as high as Triple-A, but never got a Major League debut. This spring, he trades in his batting helmet for a football helmet as he tries to land a walk-on spot w/ the Tennessee team.

Thoughts from Opening Day in Japan

Peter@BaseballReflections posted 4/1/2008 from www.knucklecurve.com

No, I didn’t get up at 3 a.m. to watch Opening Day in Japan. Maybe if the Padres had been playing, but the Red Sox? Meh. (As an aside, is anyone else sick of the word “meh” to show indifference? I’ve used it here to sound hipper than I actually am, but I kinda hate it. I’m ready for the fad to pass.) Okay, so we’re talking about Opening Day in Japan.
