    Oh, I know...but it still doesn't look like a great trade to me.

    It's typical Padres...you have Mat Latos and Anthony Rizzo...trade them and end up with a washed up pitcher who can't throw strikes, a catcher who is busted for PED's, and a doubles hitting 1B. They have a penchant for turning gold into crap.

      you know back in the 1999 and 2000, when I thought the team couldn't have been run worse, I couldn't have been more wrong.

          I am quite pleased with the Rizzo trade

            Terrible trade. Padres got fleeced due to being the worst run team in sports.
            I wouldn't say in all of sports. Hell, in baseball the Astros and Marlins sure are giving them a run for their money.

              The Marlins, as awful as they are run, have at least had some really good players and won 2 WS in the last 20 years. The Astros had a good run from 1990-2005 with the Killer B's, lots of playoffs, a WS appearance. The Padres, outside of their two WS appearances (in which they were swept both times), have pretty much sucked.

                I think the Astros are doing a nice job in a complete rebuild. I don't have any issues with them. What Loria did to South Florida is criminal, still they've got WS rings, does San Diego?

                  Basically all they have to show for the Gonzalez trade is an injury prone pitcher who's now a long reliever for them, and a pitching prospect who's been injury prone and now going to miss 2013.

                    Yeah, fair enough on the WS appearances/rings. I was just taking the past half-decade into consideration.

                          1-5, soon to be 1-8 from the Braves. Just end it early I guess
