In case anyone wasn't sure, the Padres are still run by a bunch of braindead imbeciles. https://twitter.com/Padres/status/801157050793213952

Maybe the Astros are stealing all their draft information from the Padres or something.

They showed those brown unis at first and I was like "final they figured it out". Then they show the most generic two tone jerseys possible. Someone fire Padres marketing team.

I'm intrigued by the Yanks possibly signing Mike Napoli instead of going big on EE or buying on a potential "year too late" scenario with Beltran. I think a three year deal gets the job done, dude still rakes

Reports are out of potential CBA strife. I can't imagine they won't get it done. I mean, what kind of third-rate bush league would come off a terrific season where the longest-suffering franchise finally won the big one in a series everyone was watching, look poised to enjoy a major surge in popularity across the continent, and piss it all away on a meaningless work stoppage? That sort of thing seems like it would tank the league's public image and reduce revenue for decades to come, not to mention cause animosity with the union that would result in more, and worse, work stoppages in the future. No major league would be ridiculous enough to actually do that, right? ... Right?

Hi I'm here to talk about can't miss minor league prospects that were hugged to great effectcode:

Will Torres end up like them? Maybe, maybe not. But nobody in Chicago is going to 'what might have been' Torres even if he becomes the next Mike Trout because of what 2016 will mean to the Cubs and the city forever.

The main issue holding the CBA is apparently implementing an international draft. The players have put their foot down and said absolutely not, so much so that they were apparently offered getting rid of the QO entirely as compensation, and they still turned it down.

The international draft is bad for anyone who's not a team owner trying to save money. A good position by the union.

Remember when like the whole Angels farm system was untouchable and the best of the bunch turned out to be like Erick Aybar and Howie Kendrick Trade all the prospects even if it "glues a mm to one side of the coin" or whatever

Not fair that Adenhart died and Wood might as well have. A huge portion of that 2007~ group made it to the majors, Willits, Bourjos, Sean Rodriguez, Mathis, Conger. I remember an article written about the Angels top 25 prospects from like 2006 and how like 20 of them either turned into major leaguers or were traded for major leaguers, which is a huge rate.

Anyone else watch the Fastball doc on Netflix? It's pretty bland but it's baseball, so I'll watch Goose Gossage talk about the Law of the Jungle and Walter Johnson's 83.2 MPH heater.
