Craig–I suppose rooting for Marquis is okay, but don’t let your kids turn into Padres fans. That’s a horrible fate and will scar them for life. (Don’t ask me how I know this.)

If 2013 is anything like 2012, all of the Padres’ starters will get hurt anyway, so it won’t make any difference.

One strategy for covering the winter meetings is to hang out in the lobby and see who’s talking to whom. Is that John Courtright (Greinke’s agent) heading to an elevator with Jerry DiPoto? Are they going to finalize a deal? That sort of thing. This approach sort of breaks down at this hotel because there are four lobbies.

There have been reports that the Padres were interested in Dan Haren and Shaun Marcum – but crappy Jason Marquis is the guy they end up with? So much for the Padres being a surprise team in 2013.

After seeing Jeremy Guthrie get 3 years, 25 mill. a 1 year 3 mill year investment in a hitable pitcher doesn’t look too badly right now for the Padres.

Are you at this meeting in this fabulous hotel and just sitting in the lobby checking the news on your phone?
