2013 OPENING DAY: SAN DIEGO PADRES

Hello all and welcome to this weeks look in on the San Diego Padres. Last year the Padres fell well short of expectations as they finished an abysmal 76-86 losing 6 of their final 10 games. The Padres weren't all doom and gloom all season as they had a very strong second half of the season. The first half of the season, the Padres looked like they were a roster made up of a bunch of AAA guys with no MLB experience as they finished 34-53. A nice summer break in San Diego seemed to be the key to getting things on track as the Padres finally gelled as a team and finished the back half of the season at an impressive 42-33.

Led by their superstar 3B Chase Headley, the San Diego Padres look to build on their late season success and will look to compete for the division title in 2013. New management has come in and made some pretty bold moves. New GM David Hart has decided to start a youth movement within the organization and has called up some of the top prospects in the business and has placed them on the 40 man roster. Some of those names include:

LF Edinson Rincon
RF Rymer Liriano
SS Jace Peterson
2B Jedd Gyorko
2B Cory Spangenberg
3B James Darnell
C Austin Hedges
SP Max Fried
SP Casey Kelley

Two guys that will see immediate action will be Jedd Gyorko and Casey Kelley. Both had impressive springs and have made the 25 man active roster. Jedd will split his time with Logan Forsythe, while Casey Kelley has creeped into the 5th spot in the rotation. Speaking of batting orders, and rotations here is a look at the opening day lineup for your San Diego Padres.

1. SS Everth Cabrera
