I haven't watched any of the games the past three days- how did Dick and Smalley spin the Arcia trade?

As far as I know, they ignored it completely., though I haven't watched every inning

Smalley:  "They're looking to get better."

 

That's why he gets the big bucks to be a TV analyst, I guess.

Thin at catcher or not, Suzuki has become our best trade chip.

Quite possibly true, and quite possibly the most damning thing one could say about the shape of the organization.

Dick is now seriously pimping Suzuki for all-star.

Dick loves that the 1992 Padres had to have a representative in the all-star game.

 

I would suppose so since Gwynn, McGriff, and Sheffield all had big offensive years.

I'm OK with the "every team has at least one All Star" rule.  

 

It's the All Star game, fans of every team, especially kids, should have someone there from the team they follow.

 

I don't give a crap if it means the Yankees or Dodgers get 4 instead of 5, and I don't give a crap if it means some mediocrity having a great year doesn't get to go.

Weren't they actually at least an average team that year, too? I recall them being at least decent around that time.

Whatever Dick is smoking with his Suzuki and Mauer deserve All-Star consideration idea, I would like some and in equal amounts so that stupid things I say sound good in my head.

I'm guessing Dick or perhaps the poster confused teams. The 1992 Padres went 82-80

They're talking Ozzy trade now. Basically how they're getting a player to be named later or cash and explaining how that works.

 

As if Terry isn't going to take the cash.

 

And they quickly changed the subject to McPhail getting dinner for trading Winfield in 94.

Sometimes those PTBNL turn out okay. Its how we got David Arias.

No doubt, but Terry is almost always going to choose cash. Which is good because he can't waste cash's option years or wait until after its prospect status has passed to try and trade it.

Gotta go. I'm expecting everyone on this thread to do everything possible to help this team to victory. No  jinxes!

What can go wrong?  E-San is looking good today!
