Maybe this explains velocity drop and control issues.

Driveline connection in play?Video is from August, the Rays signed him in January. So the RedSox weren't that interested. Now the Driveline boys are on board and the RedSox pick him up That was my first thought. I guess those guys best case, are another set of eyes for possible talent acquisition.

78 wins. Too much has to go right to expect more. If enough of the kids show development, I will call it a win.

I dont think I need to tell you guys how badly this team needs Story to carry over his hot spring. But I will.

I'd like to see more from Bello first. I know the talent is there but I want to see consistency for a while.

After watching him struggle in Anaheim last season I was luke warm at best when they signed him. Was never really sure what it was about him that drew Breslow, probably the short contract I guess. Anyway the whole throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks approach to building a staff has left a lot to be desired for a while. Hopefully the kids in the minors give us something to feel good about this summer.

Rafaela and Raffy have been the highlight of spring training so far.

It would take quite a change in philosophy for them to go pitching with their four top picks. I hate drafting for need in any sport, go BPA. If its a pitcher, then fine. A few years ago the Angels drafted pitchers with every pick. Not sure how that will work out.

A player I am starting to develop a crush on is Rodney Green, jr CFer at UC Berkley. This guy is clutch, a baller and off to a great start on the final Pac 12 season. Could see him developing into an offensive catalyst.

I'll take listening to Sam Kennedy over Tom Werner 100 times out of 100. He's a bright guy and the Sox are his passion, but he's trying to be honest, yet not too unflattering at the same time about the state of the team. Listening to Werner makes me gag. He's so awkward. He's always trying to sell you something, and he has no sense of awareness whatsoever. Henry has that sense of awareness, that's why he has avoided talking for 4 years. Ask Padre fans what they think of Werner. Snake oil salesman would be a kind description.

I actually feel pretty good about this move. He is supposedly aiming to be back around the trade deadline.

So they traded a pitcher, Schreiber, who Cora pyle drove into the ground the last 2 years for a lottery ticket potential starter? Could be worse I guess.

Sounds like Duran is a goner.
Lets make a deal.

A little surprised Keith Law only has him as his 54th best prospect. Thought he would be a little higher.

Not sure why anybody thought Kershaw was coming here. Probably pitch just enough innings to get 3000 strikeouts. It was always the Dodgers with a small chance of the Rangers. I doubt coming to a team in rebuild mode, with questionable ownership commitment even entered his mind.

I am a Theo fan of course. However I cant help but wonder if he was hired mainly to be a buffer between the fans and ownership. In other words,look like they are trying to improve without really spending any money. As for Theo, now that he is part owner, what are his real motivations?

When do they change the name to Soccer and Golf Sports Group? Wait till they get the Las Vegas NBA expansion team. You think LeBron buying into ownership was happenstance?

Hearing on LA radio he is a Dodger lock. Am I the only one that wonders if this Dodger off season is a catalyst for an International draft?

Angelos son came out months ago and flat out said they would not pay to keep this core together. I would take this as good news for O's fans and bad news for other teams. Tanking and the right owner may pay off big for them.

While I have little use for ownership at this point, Werner is at the top of the list. Ask an old school Padre fan their opinion of him. The above is shameful if true.

Doubt we compete for a division at all. Orioles are unbelievably loaded with talent. Different class of lineup than we currently have Their rotation is about as questionable as ours but the lineups aren’t close We should feel lucky their owner is a scum or we would have to worry about them beyond the next 3-4 years I’d say as of now we are a 75-84 win team. I’d say we have added wins and to future seasons especially the the Grissom trade Could swear I read recently O's ownership might sell.

Not even one game under his tenure as POBO and some people starting to sour on Breslow. It's not his fault Werner made that dumb full throttle comment. I'm not enamored by the offseason but I'm willing to give the guy a season or two of moves before I try and run the guy outta town. I am not sour on Breslow. He is an employee that just got here. Ownership is another story.

It is sad to me me that ownership and management who have brought the fans four chips, credibility has been greatly reduced. Did I believe "full throttle"? No. But now I dont trust them at all. As a matter of fact I honestly wish they would sell. It seems they are more interested in PGA,soccer, and getting an NBA franchise. That said, feel free to sell and use the proceeds to go do those things.
