Padres need to heat up this Summer if they want to be around for the playoffs

Our starting pitching is intriqing. We have the best pitcher (Jake
Peavy) in the game as our ace. Check. Chris Young this year is not CY
last year, but I think he is a good number 2-3. Mad dog has been
essential to the team, keeping us in games and helping our younger
pitchers develop. And David Wells... well he is about to get the axe
soon. I don't think he prepared this offseason to play at all after
going on his hunting safari. I heard the argument is that he has a
rubber arm and doesn't need conditioning or prep because his arm will
never fall off. Will if it's not his arm then it's his eyes... The
Padres need to get down to the bottom of this, because his career can
be done soon if he doesn't find the problem and fixes it. Baseball can
be a cruel business... :(

Our hitting is good, but we are holding on to losers at a high cost.
(we traded Jack Cust who is starting to turn into Jason Bay II) Brian
Giles is getting paid to tan out in Right Field. This is a position we
need a lot of production from. Is he getting distracted by his younger
brother being on the team? Whever Brian gets his power source he needs
to rediscover it and start helping this team. Adrian has got no
protection whatsoever. Khalil is helping... Once we get old Brian back
this team will kill the Doggers. Oh and we need old Cameron back as
well.

I think are defense is fine. Not perfect but good enough to win if we
can shore up the other parts of our game.

Our bench needs improvement. Maybe we should go for Todd Walker...
lol. Robles and Blum are nice defensively, but we need more production
off the bench from our backup IFs
