I love Rickey. Honestly how did he not get a higher percentage in HOF voting?

In honor of Ricky Henderson’s Hall of Fame induction…..

The guy is a classic.

Giants make Edgar Renteria their new shortstop.

At least the Giants are trying. They are’nt afraid to spend a little money. That’s more than I can say for the cheap Padres.

I just saw the news on ESPN. Terrible. Season ticket holders should have the right to sue in small claims court.

This organization is a laughingstock.

What separates us from the Royals? They have better prospects

I think you have to trade him before the season starts. I think it’s completely the right move to deal him, they just did it a year late. They sold low.

BUT we still don’t know who they got for him. Maybe the pitching prospect turns out to be pretty good. You never know.

Why not wait until the season starts? If he gets off to a good start you might be able to get something for him. But then again the Padres don’t care. They’re idiots.

The Padres trade Khalil Greene to St Louis for nothing….

5 thoughts…

1. Green had an awful season, swing, attitude. He was terrible. I’m glad to get him off the team.

2. Last offseason I was praying that the Padres would trade Greene who was coming off a huge year. Sell High! Get something good in return! They didn’t so they didn’t.

3. This is clearly a salary dump intended to save about 6 million dollars. This is a good thing because it at least gives me a little hope that the Padres will keep Peavy around.

4. Luis Rodriguez showed he is more than capable of playing decent shortstop. I also heard Alderson on the radio yesterday saying the Padres were not in the market for second baseman. So the middle of your infield is Edgar Gonzalez or Antonelli ( if he has a good spring) and Luis Rodriguez.

5. Last last time a shortstop who could play stellar defense made his way from San Diego to St Louis it turned out pretty good for that shortstop and for that city. But mark my words my only complaint about the Padres dealing Greene will be that they waited a year too long and thus missed out on getting better players. I will never complain about how Greene “used to be a Padre” even if he is putting up 30 hr a year for 5 straight years. He may do that in St Louis, but he never could have and he never would have here in SD.

At least there is one winner in San Diego. Anurag Kashyap, the teen from RB who won the national spelling bee a few years ago has won another big prize: winning the Jeopardy Teen Challenge and walking away with $75,000. Check it out here.
