When I saw a photo of him when he was DFA’d the other day I figured the Padres would claim him based on his beard and hair alone.

Zach Lee for Chris Taylor seems to have worked out well for the Dodgers.
dodgerfan711
Dodgers refused to trade Lee many times over the years which looked bad since he was a bust. Friedman worked a miracle getting Taylor
BlueSkyLA
It worked out well for the Dodgers but nothing on the face of this trade suggested that they were getting anything more than a depth player in Taylor. In fact at the time it was being said that Seattle did well to get Lee for him.

So the Padres dumped a soft throwing RHP to pick up a soft throwing LHP?

Fix his mechanics and turn him in hands replacement
Hand was a project as well and shined quickly

Huh?

Fix his mechanics and turn him into hands replacement.
Padres have had recent success with LHP projects.
Pomeranz, Hand, Butcher. Idk if overton throws a curve but something I am sure the padres will want to have him develop like they did pomeranz or work his slider if he has one.

Honestly, not a bad landing spot for Overton. Petco will help him.
padresfan
I would have to say safeco is more pitcher friendly since the padres moved the walls in several times
JackDanielsGhost
Yup. Ever since they installed the massive video board in left and brought in the fences, Petco has essentially been a neutral park.
padresfan
Yup. But, at night time it’s more pitcher friendly. The marine layer keeps the bs in the ball. You’ll have to get all of it to get it out

The Sempra building also in same category of things that have changed how far the ball travels.

That picture makes Overton look like a very young version of Gandalf the Grey.

But can be play short stop?

According to mud, pitchers are the best athletes on the field, so by that logic… why not?
SixFlagsMagicPadres
Remember, it’s Mud we’re talking about.

Mud is terrible. Dodgers got Chris Taylor for Zach Lee that’s good trade something Preller knows nothing about unless he’s cheating
