Don’t get this pickup unless there is an injury somewhere. Would have to be Norris since Betancourt playing as I type thisa

Wait… what?

Hector Sanchez caught Tim Lincecum in San Francisco, might be more to this.

Trying to lure Lincecum?

Potential trade coming in maybe Norris gets traded? Doubt were getting rid of bethancourt
pustule bosey
That was my first thought, wasn’t there Norris trade talks floating around with a couple of teams a little while ago?

When is a blash getting sent back to Seattle
kingfelix34
I mean when does

He’s not. Padres arent competing this year. So carrying him for the season just to send him down next year to get playing time isnt as farfetched of an idea. Although i wish they’d send jankowski down to get more at bats. If jay winds up leaving he’ll need the extra time for next year. And if they trade upton they can call him back up.

At what point does the thought of trading off our major contributors for prospects stop? I think John Jay is a great addition to this team and should be a piece that we build around. Janikowski is good but I would not put him at Jay’s level at this point in his career. To trade Jay just to see if Janikowski lives up to his potential would be a mistake. Keep Janikowski until kemps contract is up and move him into right field permanently. I like the potential of having Alex Dickerson (and his bat) in left field after Mupton is gone too. We have the pieces for the near future. Why trade the veteran leadership?
We still need a solid hitting second baseman and shortstop. I’d like to see Pirela play consistently for a while just to gauge his value. Guerra is a small guy who may not give us the power numbers we need from the position.

You don’t get it do you? Jon Jay is a FREE AGENT at the end of this season! Meaning we’re going to lose him regardless of whether or not we trade him. Would you rather get a prospect for him or just let him walk for nothing in return?

Holding Blash all season then sending him down next year, at age 28, to AAA makes no sense. What, the Pares think he’s going to be a productive major leaguer starting his career at age-30?
davidcoonce74
Kemp’s contract isn’t up for three more years, and Jay just isn’t very good.

Blash is a Jack Z. draftee whom he and DiPoto exposed to the Rule 5 Draft in consecutive years, after two pretty good AAA seasons. Though I get their strategy, it would be better for SD and for Blash if Preller could convince SEA to take a fringe prospect for the right to keep and option him.
Would hate to see a lost season on the bench totally derail Blash’s career.

Blash is a 26-year-old one-dimensional player with 300 ABs at Triple=A. His career’s not really on any tracks from which he can derail..
AndThisGameBelongsToMySanDiegoPadres
Why would we send him back? Doing that wouldn’t get us into the postseason and he’ll be a nice guy to have on the shuttle squad after this season.
kingfelix34
Can someone tell me why he hasn’t
AndThisGameBelongsToMySanDiegoPadres
Because this team isn’t contending and he’ll be a nice guy to have on our shuttle squad or maybe use as trade bait after this season is over.
petcopadre
Both Blash and Rosales need to start swinging like they mean it. It’s sad to watch their at bats.
John Doe 6
Rosales cant hit. We need Solarte back
agentx
John Doe, are you in favor of keeping Wallace at 3B at least for some early inning ABs after Solarte gets back, or is he too much of a defensive liability notwithstanding some of his recent diving stops and throws?
Regarding the catchers, have you seen enough of either to say whether Norris or Sanchez could play a passable LF once or twice a week to justify three catchers on the roster while Jankowski goes to El Paso for regular ABs?
Injediwetrust
Not sure what AJ is thinking here but the OF is more than covered at the big league level and on the farm. Upton, Jay , Kemp seems pretty stable until late June or early July. Jankowski and Dickerson are the ones up now and only get spot starts or late innings def. replacements. TJ got defense and speed but the bat. Dickerson has the bat and don’t really know if his trouble in LF was just a blip.
Renfroe and or Margot could factor in as well by the trade deadline. Regardless, Sanchez in the outfield seems unlikely.
AndThisGameBelongsToMySanDiegoPadres
Catchers in the outfield? Dunno bout that!
