Padres add Brian's little bro to team

Sweet pickup for our team. We get a major league second baseman and Atlanta get's a draft pick. Marcus hasn't been doing too great last season, but I think he will rebound this season. If anything, his brother Brian can help him get through slumps and what not. I do believe he has more power potential than Todd Walker, but I am unsure about average. This will likely put Todd Walker into a dedicated bench role which I hope he excels at. I don't think we have downgraded from last season's Josh Barfield. I think it's a wash who is the better player, but only time will tell. Way to go for KT though for filling two spots in the infield by only trading one player. (second and third)

Maddux is a Padre

Freaking sweet... cat like reflexes.. best defensive pitcher I have seen in the game. Future HoF-er and ace. Should be good for 200 innings +. I'm stoked to get mad dog. When you got him at #3, you know you're good.

Walker accepts arbitration so he most likely a lock for 2B. I wonder if Towers has got anything up his sleeve for the OF? IMO, our options are Klesko, platoon Jose Cruz/Termell Sledge, or make a trade for Manny (seems all trades have fell through for his services)
