The Padres are Dead in the Water
ShysterBall —
The Cubs are done playing the Padres' Peavy games: If there were any lingering questions about whether the Cubs had pulled back from pursuing San Diego ace Jake Peavy in a trade, manager Lou Piniella answered them this week. The Chicago Sun-Times' Gordon Wittenmyer asked Piniella at an event in Chicago on Sunday whether the Cubs were still pursuing starting pitching in the wake of their four-year contract extension with free agent right-hander Ryan Dempster. "No," Piniella was quoted as saying in Tuesday's Sun-Times. "Starting we don't need. We're set. We've got six good starters, and they're all experienced. Getting Dempster back was the key. We're in good ...

What They Need: San Diego Padres - Trade Peavy, Good Divorce Laywer
umpbump.com —
The San Diego Padres lost a grand total of 99 games last year. They were third to last in RBI, second to last in team batting average, and dead last in runs scored. Their pitching was arguably better, but only marginally; they were 10th in ERA and in batting average against, and they allowed the sixth most runs in the National League. All of which was a drastic departure from 2007, when the Padres pitching staff was the best in the league.
After such a disappointing season, you’d think the Padres front office would have a semblance of a plan to right the ship for next year, right? Well…
Take one of their lone shining moments, another strong year from 2007 Cy ...
