Event Corner
2008 San Diego Padres
The Padres had a great season in 2007 but a bitter ending -- a blown save by Trevor Hoffman to cost the Padres a trip to the NL Playoffs. So the Padres won 89 games in 2007 but had no post season experience to show for it.
The 2008 Padres may have the best starting rotation in the National Leage, featuring:
RHP - Jake Peavey
RHP - Chris Young
RHP - Mark Prior
RHP - Greg Maddux
LHP - Randy Wolf
Peavey -- the 2007 Cy Young Award winner -- signed a $52 million deal in the offseason and the Padres scooped up Prior for a one year, $1 million commitment. Prior was once a "future great" but his potential was not realized in Chicago due to a string of injuries, including last season which he missed due to shoulder surgery. It will be interesting to see which Mark Prior takes the field in San Diego.
Two Gold Glovers departed Houston this offseason -- Mike Cameron and Milton Bradley. But Gold Glover Jim Edmunds joins the Padres from St. Louis.
On the offensive side, the Padres need Khalil Green and Tadahito Iguchi to set the table for Adrian Gonzalez. On the mound, Chris Young needs to avoid the injuries that plagued him in 2007.
PETCO Park
PETCO Park is home to the San Diego Padres. Built in 2004 at a cost of $411 million, PETCO is as cuddly and charming as its name implies. Prior to moving into lush new PETCO, the Padres played at Qualcomm Stadium, formerly known as San Diego Stadium and Jack Murphy Stadium.
Sadly for Padres faithful, the Padres have yet to win a World Series Championship in PETCO or any other ballpark, although they won two Pennants (1984 and 1998). The Padres record in World Series games is a tough 1-8. The Padres hold the MLB record for most World Series appearances without a title.
