I'm still ...Pad Father, <br /><br />Thanks for the poke.<br /><br />I'm still around. Been very busy and spending lots of time on the road. Just got off flight 403 from Phoenix not more than an hour and half ago.<br /><br />So when are YOU going to start blogging? Are you still going out to Peoria for the first games? Let me know and I will buy you an In-n-Out burger.WebSoulSurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385605335746684528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020322.post-65234725599140771972010-02-25T21:30:10.431-08:002010-02-25T21:30:10.431-08:00Lopez is not a Padre today because they refused to...Lopez is not a Padre today because they refused to hand over the starting position to him. The Padres FO obviously believes Eckstein can do the job. <br /><br />Salazar cannot field the position well enough to be a starter. He is a good bat off the bench and an emergency fill in at the corners, If and OF.<br /><br />Hairston does field the position well, but is much more valuable as a super utility guy.<br /><br />Eckstein made two errors last season, his arm was never an issue and doesn't have to go far to get the ball because he is amongst the best in the league at positioning himself to be able to make the play.<br /><br />Eckstein is also a coach on the field and an incredible example to the young players that hustle and preparation can take you further than tools alone.<br /><br />Eckstein also hit .340 with runners on base. What he does, he does very well. <br /><br />He is not the best 2B in the league, but he is the Padres starter.WebSoulSurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385605335746684528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020322.post-75123730216475446562010-02-24T11:06:50.000-08:002010-02-24T11:06:50.000-08:00Pads may not be done with FA signings but it looks...Pads may not be done with FA signings but it looks like you are.
