Geez calm down. It isn't anything personal.

I just don't see a team that almost lost 100 games last year, who made a few decent, but far from huge impact moves in the offseason winning 80+ games and being in the upper half of the league.

Maybe they'll surprise everyone, but I doubt it.

Considering Nevin and Hoffman, our 2 best players, were out for 3/4 of the season, as well as Klesko never being 100%, those guys healthy is a massive improvement in itself.

Looking back at this thread...

Giles was a bust.
Nevin was one of the better team producers.
Klesko was a bust.
Payton really only played 3 months.

Still an 87-75 record after going 64-98...

The Padres won't be that good.

Yeah, they weren't good enough. (no sarcasm)

Yea, I'll eat my crow. Padres were a lot better than I thought they would be, you were right.

Giles was a bust.

.284, 23 HR's, 94 RBI, 97 R and second on the team in hits, doubles and SB's, plus led the team in triples, not the big power number he put up in Pittsburgh, but far from a bust. We all knew going into the season that with the way the park was designed that he would have a tough time equaling his previous HR numbers.

Re: ***MSUSpartanOride's MLB Predictions***

Petco Park was designed to take advantage of the winds that sweep in from the ocean, thus the reason why RF is deep (or so I heard). Most of the construction around the place isn't finished so that may change. Giles really dropped off. I expected him to hit .300, hit around 30 home runs, and drive in a 100. I guess the park just got to the hitter's (except Loretta, 10 of his 15 home runs came at home).

I mean c'mon, even Kaz Ishii can hit a home run there.
