    Re: 2005 Offseason, Major Improvements Already!

    Because $1.75 million for a long reliever is well over market price. I'm hoping KT is cutting salary to go after FA's in the off-season.

        Re: Applause to the Padres

        He probably will, but Long, Payton, and Klesko have little or no trade value, unless there's a team that desperately needs an OF/1B/DH. The only person with trade value is Nevin. KT said he's looking to move a regular in the offseason... might be Burroughs, might be Klesko or Nevin... heck there might be a package that will include someone else that we wouldn't expect just to clear up some payroll.

            2005 Schedule

            The Padres 2005 schedule was recently printed in the Union-Tribune and I couldn't help notice a few things. We start off at Colorado for a two game series... yes, with a dayoff in between the two, then they head off home to face the Pirates for four games (should be a fun one). Also, how many times do we face Seattle a year (including ST)? like 25 times or something? We've got a home and home series against them in mid-May and mid-June... I'm still trying to find out how we're regional rivals.

                Well you are "regional" rivals due to process of elimination. Anaheim has LA and Oakland has SF. Then Texas has Houston so that leaves SD with Seattle. Like alot of other things MLB is doing, it makes no sense. However, the Baltimore/ATL regional rivals thing is the same way.

                        Re: 2005 schedule

                        Yeah, but it's just weird having to face them as many times as the our division rivals (that is including ST). Not to mention the two teams are like drinking buddies when it comes to trades. BTW, I'm guessing the Baltimore/Atlanta thing will change because of the Expos, just my guess.

                        Hopefully the Mariners will still suck.

                            Re: Trade

                            The Padres traded OF Terrance Long and SP Dennis Tankersley to the Royals for SP Darrell May and a RP.

                            Well, there's one player's salary dumped. I won't miss Tankersley, it looked like he could never get it together. I'm surprised a team actually took him, best of luck to him.
