The Spangenburg kid lives about 20 minutes from me and there were a few write-ups in the paper after the draft abotu him. I would be lying if I said I knew who he was before then.

They didn’t draft Adrian Gonzalez.

None of this would have happened if the Padres hadn’t abandoned their distinctive brown-and-gold color scheme and adopted boring blue instead.

Curse!

Wow–that is an impressive list of swings and misses. The draft may be a crapshoot, but you have to do better than that…

What the hells the difference if he’s a bust or a superstar the Padres will trade him away because they don’t want to pay anyone the going rate for the good ones. Does Adrian Gonzalez ring a bell?

In a smaller market city, your draft picks have to be winners to fill the seats; it’s infectious when they do win, even non padres fans become fans around the fourth of July.
