OT: Padres new outfield

[Jobu]

Both Kemp and Upton have played a lot of games in Petco with each having resided for many years in the NL West. Kemp's career OPS (214 ABs) at Petco is .867 while Upton's (172 ABs) is an even better .900. So Petco may be tough on righties, but these two guys seem to hit pretty well there.

As a fan of the Brewers, I am always happy when teams that struggle more often than not push all their chips in and go for it.

Thank Santa Claus that Will Middlebrooks is gone. What a Stiff!

Yeah his star sure diminished.

Hey Phil, I hope that Pablo signing is worth it. Now that he's got a big contract there's no reason for him to trim down and stay in prime playing shape. Middlebrooks may look like a good alternative by the time Pablo reports for spring training. He's probably going to eat his share of his new contract in the off season. Actually, I like Sandoval. I hope he does well for the Sox.

Not real crazy about Kung Fu Panda, but I think he will play a ton harder than Middlebrooks. Never cared for him and think the Sox gave him every chance. Just not talented enough.

I don't get the Sandoval thing. .280 hitter with 12-14-16 HR and 79 or fewer RBI the past three years.

Too bad they won't be batting against their own pitching staff...just a thought.
