The mistakes Jose has made at 1B this year seem so avoidable.

Abreu...

Trying too hard to lift the ball since his legs don't really allow him to drive the ball?

Yeah he's only 29 and he's been a solid all star starter the past 2 years. It's a very good deal for the Padres. I think he could have gotten 5 and 120 on the open market.

I'm not sure how that was even close at home. Pollock just isn't that fast.

Nice job Jose

AJ actually hit a breaking pitch from a RHP.

Warning track power.

I bet the Astros fans thought the same 4 days ago.

Yeah this is a team that's got it going right now. Sometimes the names and stats don't matter when a team is hot.

Looks like Musgrove took a hometown discount.

I definitely thought that was dropping with this outfield configuration.

Lance has been terrible against lefties this year.

Oakland has only lost twice since the ASB. This series might not be a walk in the park.

Can we please not suck in the first inning for once?

He's also been terrible in July. But Joc has a great track record in October.

Don't worry Jason Kinander has you covered.

Naquin isn't exactly a big trade chip. That's why I wanted him. He'd come cheap and address a huge weakness on the team.

No top 30 prospects from their system.

Gamel's plate discipline would be nice to have. I'm not sure how good he is defensively, but his numbers don't look too good.

There goes our most realistic option.

Davis Martin, come on down!

If you're talking about Story, then no. He did get the QO, so they got a comp pick for him.
