Peavy dealt to White Sox
Jake Peavy has apparently been traded to the Chicago White Sox. The Padres pick up righties Adam Russell and Dexter Carter, and lefthanders Aaron Poreda and Clayton Richard.
Obviously a big move and one that probably caught people off guard, as Peavy trade talks appeared to have settled down. Discuss in the comments if you’d [...]

The face of the Padres
It is almost undoubtedly Adrian Gonzalez. He’s an offensive force, a solid defender, a cerebral player. He’s cheap and in the prime of his career.
He’s the face of the Padres, the franchise player.
That’s a little bit like being the face of the Bad News Bears (before they got good), though. It is tough [...]

Mat Latos strong in second start
Mat Latos was solid again in his second major league start, as he went 5.7 innings while allowing five hits and two runs. He struck out five and walked two, and allowed two solo homers. Latos threw 94 pitches, 58 of them for strikes. Let’s again check out the PITCHf/x data and see what it [...]

Alvaro Aristy suspended
With a tip of the cap to Ben Badler’s Twitter, Padres shortstop prospect Alvaro Aristy has apparently been suspended for 50 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing substances. He tested positive for Nandrolone.
Aristy was one of the prospects signed last July 2nd, when he was ranked as the second best position player prospect out of [...]

A’s trade Holliday to Cards
Today, Oakland traded outfielder Matt Holliday to St. Louis for prospects Brett Wallace, Clayton Mortensen, and Shane Peterson. Erik at BtBS analyses the deal, and likes it from the A’s perspective. Holliday is a very good player, but he’s only under club-control through the end of this season.

Welcome back Tom Krasovic
The best news in Padres Blog Land during my vacation? Former Union-Tribune writer Tom Krasovic started a Padres blog, Inside the Padres. This is great news. He is also apparently writing for Voice of San Diego.
I truly look forward to reading Tom’s work once again. He was missed during his short absence.

Quick glance at Latos through PITCHf/x
Top Padres prospect Mat Latos made his Major League debut Sunday, striking out four and walking just one in four innings of work. I didn’t see a pitch, so I figured I’d take a quick look at his PITCHf/x data (though others have already done an excellent job at that). Here’s his movement graph:

Meredith dealt for Salazar
Yesterday the Padres traded reliever Cla Meredith to the Orioles for 31 year old utility guy Oscar Salazar.
I’ve been trying to come up with an angle for this one for a while … yeah, I don’t have one. The Padres traded a reliever who likely would not be a major piece on their next contending team for, [...]
