Sparknotes version? I refuse to go to the Forbes website because of their adblock policy

I'd think it's at least slightly likely that we're close to a trade for Ogando, and we're doing this to avoid him getting hurt/give us time to iron out the details of the trade, without hurting our bullpen by making him sit. No one wants another Grilli situation. Doubt he brings back anything of...

I know Preller is known for international signings, but...it's the Padres. They bungled the draft IMO. They seem to bungle a lot of their free agent signings. Until their guys sign on the dotted line, I won't be convinced that they're gonna pull in that haul.

That's a hell of a day for Connor Lien.

Fried with an awesome outing. 6.0 IP, 6 H, 1 ER (HR), 6 K, 0 BB.

Booooooooo

I really do think we should make a run at him. We have the payroll, have the need, and DEFINITELY have the desire to sign his younger, 22 year old brother that's also super hyped.

I want us to swoop in and snag a couple of the big names we're not currently favorites for; we've got the money, might as well use it

Just hope, as far as I'm aware. Nothing specific. Makes some sense, considering Padres would be spending a buttload of money on all the guys they're connected to so some of their connections could end up being overcome, and Gutierrez isn't connected to anyone at this point (I believe).

I guess we'll find out, won't we?

Just spend all the money on international peeps, get both. **** budgets

Yeah, but what else are we gonna spend the money on? Next FA class sucks and we're supposed to have an expanded payroll, where else will that money actually be useful?

I don't know about you guys, but I'd be alright with us taking a heavy run at Yuliesky Gurriel, especially if it made it easier to sign his brother now/after October.

In general, I'm pretty optimistic about our team. I think I'm one of the few who thinks we can make a quick turnaround next year with the right moves and some solid progression from our farm. But this year? Our offense is absolutely squalid, historically bad, and while you could expect some...

If I recall correctly, if there's a tie between records doesn't the team that finished worse in the previous year get the higher pick? So we'd end up with the number one pick in this scenario? Or is that backwards

Uh...are we watching the same games?

http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/confidence-composure-define-mickey-moniak/ Two SoCal scouts project it at a 70 grade; others project it at a 60 grade. I lean towards the latter, personally.

I think he'll be a good leadoff hitter in time. He's just not there yet in terms of his experience.

I've seen it elsewhere for sure. I'll go source searching.

Like I said, it's your own opinion on how you define a hit king.
