Death of a Gunslinger
As you doubtless know by now, the Padres have fired GM Kevin Towers. It’s taken me so long to write about this because it is difficult for me to articulate my feelings. His departure hits me harder than those of Bruce Bochy, Trevor Hoffman, Sandy Alderson, or Jake Peavy. Towers was the primary architect of the best team (’98) in franchise history as well as of the most successful multi-year run (’04-’07). He isn’t the sole reason for the Padres’ success during his tenure, but a lot of good thin

Chase Headley and the Art of the Comp
Reader TexPadre recently posed the following question: When will Chase Headley show a decent amount of power? Or will he ever? Headley, you may recall, was the subject of much hype in spring training 2008. He had just come off a monster season (.330/.437/.580) at Double-A San Antonio and people got a little silly, mistaking him for a future star rather than what he is — a solid support player. Headley is what I would call a classic #6 hitter on a championship team — not enough on-base skills for the top of the order, not enough pow

Hey, I Can See the Off-Season from Here
I’ve been busy. Part of the reason is that I’ll be contributing to two forthcoming books: The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2010 (due out in November) and John Burnson’s Graphical Player 2010 (due out in December). I can’t go into a lot of detail just yet because — well, I’m not done writing — but be sure to purchase those two fine tomes when you have a chance. Meanwhile, I’m still watching the games an

It’s great to see the Padres sign all their top draft picks this year. First-round pick Donavan Tate (whom I was fortunate enough to meet last week, but we’ll get to that in a moment) took batting practice with the big club Tuesday night and impressed the veterans with his “respect and humility.” Tom Krasovic provides terrific coverage of the signings. Much of it focuses on Jeff Moorad’s
