Ryan Howard to the Padres…
cjmsd
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Dave Pierce
BJ Upton for Ryan Howard rumors begin…Now.
Or Melvin, or Kate… Just not Justin.
Michael 22
You may be on to something there. Name me one team that wouldn’t want Kate.

I imagine that Doug Melvin has left fifty messages on Preller’s voicemail already.

This isn’t good for a Padres team hoping for big things this year. They are doing a lot better then they usually do early in the year and although this isn’t like losing Kemp or Upton, losing Alonso for any length of time will effect the team. As a Padre fan, I am hoping this isn’t as bad as they think it is.
Marvin Marshall
I watched the play that caused the injury live, it looked pretty bad.
beersy
Just saw the video of the injury, it didn’t look like much until he was rolling around on the ground. The team Dr said it wasn’t separated, so hopefully that is good news. If Alonso could only stay healthy, every time he gets going offensively, he gets hurt.

The Padres will do a lot better across the entire season, even if Alonso is lost for awhile. If it’s going to be a long absence, we have to know management will continue to take an aggressive approach to trades. This isn’t your grandfather’s Padres team.

Ryan Howard and Cody Asche for Melvin Upton and a Single A-level prospect. Padres get 2 lefty bats and Phils clear balance sheet and a spot for Maikel Franco.

The Orioles should be happy to trade Chris Davis to the Padres.
If it doesn’t work out, they could always non tender him.
Bob Bunker
Chris Davis has a 129 WRC+ why do you want the O’s to trade/non tender him?
Lefty_Orioles_Fan
I would get over it.

Because he’s a cheater

Morneau might make some sense for Padres, IF both clubs would be willing to trade within own division. Or someone who could be had for next to nothing, fill the temporary void and perhaps benefit from a change of scenery – Nick Swisher?
David Coonce
I’d guess the Rockies would want a lot for Morneau, and I doubt the Padres have a lot of prospect surplus left in the minors. They’re not dealing any of their best prospects for Morneau. Swisher might be an option, but he’s been bad for quite a while now…just looked it up, and his skills have collapsed. I wouldn’t want Swisher under any terms.

All these Ryan Howard suggestion need to stop. Padres have a much better option in Alex Dickerson than trading for Howard.
David Coonce
Dickerson seems like an option, although it doesn’t look like he’s a great first baseman just skimming his minor league numbers. Only other AAA option is Medica who has been awful.
petcopadre
Why not bring up Medica?
David Coonce
Medica’s current K:BB ratio, in AAA, is 28:1. His OBP in AAA is .278. He has 1 homer in 108 ABs, and he’s struck out 25% of the time. He’s not a solution.

Thanks
