Everth Cabrera has rebounded from a prolonged slump at the plate (after he returned from the DL on June 19th his BA dropped from .333 on June 20 to .220 on July 24th), to go 12 for 24 with 7 stolen bases over the past 7 games and improve his BA to .267.
Cabrera's defense has been one of the bright spots in an otherwise dismal stretch for the Padres, while his bat was beginning to look like he belonged in A ball.
Now he is looking like he could be the Padres SS of the future.
We could be looking at one of the only good things to come out of having a bad season. Cabrera would not have played if the Padres were in contention. He would be riding the bench. So setting a major league record for injuries and having the season go down the drain early has allowed the Padres to see what Cabrera can do playing on a daily basis.

Henry Blanco was supposed to give the Padres a boost?

Henry Blanco was supposed to give the Padres a boost?
WTF? The guy is hitting .218. How can he give any team a lift? How bad do you have to be to have a guy hitting .218 be an improvement?
Well maybe you have to be 39-62 like the Padres are right now. Alfonzo will still play half the games even with Blanco back from the DL and hes hitting about .190.
All I can say is ouch!

Baek hurt again
Friday July 24, 2009
Cha Seung Baek left last night's Portland Beavers game against Reno after 1 batter.
He injured his elbow/forearm again and is done for the season.
If you are keeping track that means of the projected starting pitching staff coming out of spring training, the Padres Ace Peavy, #2 Young . #3 Baek and #4 Hill all may be on the DL for the rest of the season.
Add to that the starting and backup 2nd baseman, the starting and backup catcher and the starting RF are also on the DL.
Throw in a reliever and and a big bat off the bench and you have a pretty good team on the DL and a AAA team left in San Diego.
