With the date arbitration eligible players and their teams need to exchange numbers, the question I have is what will happen with Bell, Kouzmanoff and Adams?
Will any or all of them be traded? If they are to be traded, will the Padres wait until after signing them to trade them?
Will the Padres attempt to sign any or all of them to a long term deal at favorable rates?
Will any or all of them make it all the way to actual arbitration proceedings? Under Moores and Towers, the Padres signed almost every arbitration eligible player prior to the arbitration proceedings. What will Moorad and Hoyer do?
So what do you think? What will happen to Heath Bell, Kevin Kouzmanoff and Mike Adams?

Padres Adams has historic season
Friday October 8, 2009
I wish I could say I wrote it, but this article about Mike Adams points out something not even the biggest Padres honk has pointed out yet.
Namely that Mike Adams has had a historically great season.
In 37 innings pitched over 37 appearances Adams had a 0.73 ERA, a 0.59 WHIP, 45 K (10.95 K/9) and a .111 BAA.
Yes you read that right.
That is the 8th best ERA in history and the best WHIP EVER for a pitcher with 35+ innings pitched.
As Padres fans this season we were privileged to witness two of the greatest performances in history from Adams and Kouzmanoff. How many do you think realize it even now?

Padres injury woes continue
Tuesday August 25, 2009
First round draft pick Donavan Tate's professional debut will have to wait. He has officially been sidelined until Spring Training 2010 with what was originally described by the Padres as an abdominal strain and now is officially being called a "stress reaction to his pubic bone".
My flies on the wall have said that it is actually a tear of his inguinal ligament and that he tore it in batting practice on his first day as a Padre. It sure seems that Tate came in cold after not swinging a bat for months and just tried to do too much to impress the Padres players and brass.
In other injury news, Mike Adams, the Padres most effective reliever the past 2 months, was placed on the DL with an posterior? strain in his surgically repaired right shoulder.
While the Padres are claiming it is not in the same place as the torn labrum that was repaired surgically last season and caused Adams to miss the end of the 2008 and the first 2 months of the 2009 season, it obviously is related.
I would not expect to see Adams back this year or, if the Padres luck/curse continues, maybe not even the beginning of next year.
If it was not for a late rush/rash of injuries to New York Mets players, the Padres would once again be leading the league in player days on the DL. As it is they will come into the last days of the season neck and neck to set a new major league record for injuries.
If they win/lose the injury race, it will be the 2nd straight season that the Padres have set a major league record in player days on the disabled list.
