Hope this means they’ll make a run at Tomas. With Preller having a great international background and White having the same we could see the Padres make a serious offer.

The fruits of these hirings (for the most part) won’t come to fruition for a while, think 4-5 years, but the Padres have done a really solid job hiring people. Logan White, Sam Geaney, Preller, I look forward to following their progress.

Tough loss for the Dodgers. I always got worried whenever I’d see that Logan White was being interviewed by another club for an open GM position. The guy has a great eye for talent and now that eye is going to a division rival.
That said, I’m glad for him to have this new opportunity because Mr. White seems to deserve a promotion and it was bound to happen. I’d rather him go to the Padres than the Giants!

Ironic that the Rays near future looks dubious due to the regression of their farm system, which made the Rays GM available to the Dodgers. And in one of the first moves after the Rays ex-GM goes to LA, one of the most respected farm system builders in MLB leaves the Dodgers for the Padres.
I think that time will show that the Friedman thing is not going to be the slam dunk that so many believe it will be

White is pretty overrated. Multiple people in the org. should get credit for Puig and Ryu, not just White. Other than relievers, they also haven’t produced anymore valuable from their system since Kershaw came up in ’08. Evoladi got them Hanley, but that’s it.
So yes, they’ve hit home runs on the International market (Carlos Santana, Puig, Ryu, Kuroda, Kuo, Kenley, etc), but they’ve had some pretty bad drafts (some of which could be attributed to McCourt though). He can be replaced.

I was just looking at MLB’s top 100 prospects. Dodgers had #13, 14 & 15 in Seager, Urias, and Pedrson. #100 in Holmes. Rays placed no one in the top 100.
Time will tell.

If by since 08 you ignore Dee Gordon, Carlos Santana, Ruby De La Rosa, and SVS, He also drafted David Price, and Paul Goldschmidt but Ned and Frank ultimately didn’t sign them.

Santana was signed Internationally, not drafted. Same with Rubby and he’s probably a reliever going forward. SVS was drafted before Kershaw. I guess your right about Dee, though.

White was the one that signed Santana and De La Rosa. So he was right about the everything in his post.

I guess this signals the end of Omar Minaya with the Padres

That’s fine with this Padre fan.

Dodgers lose a great baseball guy to the Padres in White and are rumored to be bringing in a Padres & Dbacks hand me down of a bad baseball guy in Byrnes. Friedman was a good hire, but those would be two bad signs for Dodger fans.
