October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2012 -> 07:40 AM) Tuscon is half a mile above sea level. I'm guessing hitters come with the same buyer beware sign that hitters in places like Albuquerque and Colorado Springs have. ABQ and COS are each 5k+ above sea level, double what Tucson is.
October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Oct 4, 2012 -> 10:07 PM) Just so we get this clear Jake's option is $22M. Buyout is $4M. What were the Pads thinking of when they gave him that deal? Blows my mind.
October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 5, 2012 -> 09:22 AM) What were the Pads thinking of when they gave him that deal? Blows my mind. Locking up a young, popular, Cy Young award winner, who enjoyed playing there, for a long time.
October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Oct 5, 2012 -> 09:22 AM) What were the Pads thinking of when they gave him that deal? Blows my mind. His deal was pretty much right in line for what a Cy Young and Triple Crown winning pitcher should be making. It wasn't until he started get injured that it looked bad.
October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Oct 5, 2012 -> 07:15 AM) This is first click after google search, I will let the prospect gurus give us an insight if he's actually any good. I guess this makes Headly somehow expendable, could be reason why he wasn't signed to extension while guy like Quentin was. Didn't I read somewhere that the Padres had scouts at our last several games? Headley for Dan Johnson!.......okay, we can throw in Olmeda too.

October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2012 -> 10:30 AM) In the real world, could a deal look something like Quintana for Headley? Personally I'd do that in a heartbeat. But what do I know?
October 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2012 -> 03:30 PM) In the real world, could a deal look something like Quintana for Headley? No chance. Headley absolutely blew up this year. The Padres were asking for a ton even before his sensational 2nd half. Padres would probably do Headley for Sale, but that's about the caliber of trade chip he's become. All signs point to the Padres keeping him though.
October 5, 201213 yr Check out Headley's home/road splits over the past 5 years. Playing half his games in Petco really hid some of his potential. Home/Road OPS 2008: .665/.831 2009: .651/.803 2010: .635/.766 2011: .674/.864 2012: .812/.937
October 5, 201213 yr People are underrating a 23 year old lefty with a 3.75 ERA, 130 IP and who stays under team control for quite a while before you have to start paying him. Quintana has real value, not Chris Sale-like value, but still good. If we got John Danks for Brandon McCarthy we can score something pretty for Jose Quintana
