PADRES RUMORS & GOSSIP

Padres' Everth Cabrera to be placed on DL today

The San Diego Padres hoped Everth Cabrera's hamstring strain was mild enough that he could avoid the DL.  He has been a catalyst for this team's success and they did not want to lose him for an extended period of time.  Unfortunately, the injury is bad enough that the team will place Cabrera on the DL today. According to Corey Brock of MLB.com, the Padres plan to place...

The San Diego Padres And A Trip To Petco Park

I recently took a vacation with my wife to San Diego, where we enjoyed cool days at the beach, followed by a slight sunburn. The highlight of the trip for me, however, was visiting Petco Park. As an Arizona native, I have been to many games at Chase Field. The biggest issue I have with Chase, they can’t control, the temperature inside the park. Even with the roof closed and the...

The Bar: Everth Cabrera’s Hamstring

This is where we gather from time to time to talk about something big in the Padres world or just the Padres or just baseball. It’s a roundtable discussion. Except, you know, no round tables. This is a Public House . . . so we’re at the bar. Everth Cabrera has been fantastic this year but with his hamstring strained how do the Padres fill the void moving forward? Can they play...

Will Venable's game-saving catch

Will Venable is not somebody who you expected to hear being compared to Ozzie Smith, but the play he pulled off to save the Padres in the 12th inning of Monday night's victory over the Giants is incredible enough to make the Wizard of Oz blush. This catch is as do-or-die as they come: if Venable doesn't rob Juan Perez right here, the game is over. Instead, the Padres live...

Who are these San Diego Padres?

The San Diego Padres? Most of us predicted them to finish last in the NL West this year, right? That division was expected to be a two-team race between the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants and megabucks Los Angeles Dodgers. Early in the season, however, the surprise emergence of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies made the NL West a three-team battle...

Everth Cabrera Propelling San Diego Padres Up NL West

Lenny Ignelzi- AP Everth Cabrera has been the most valuable player in all of baseball during the last 30 days.

Healthy Kyle Blanks Can Fulfill His Promise To The San Diego Padres

The hottest hitter on the hottest team in the National League was headed to the minors earlier this month.  The San Diego Padres had optioned Kyle Blanks to Triple-A Tuscon on June 5 to make room for Cameron Maybin’s return from the disabled list, but called him right back when Yonder Alonso hit the DL.  Beset by injuries himself over the past three seasons, Blanks has made the...

Haiku-arrhea: Week 11 in Padres Baseball

In an effort to stay close to our roots, the staff at Padres Public, will offer-up a haiku each Monday to describe the previous week in Padres Baseball. Restricting our feelings to 3 lines and 17 syllables to describe a week of play is a massive undertaking, but (un) fortunately, we are more than up to the task. What an amazing week. The Padres play six games at home against the...

The Padres, as No Team has Been Before

It is a fact undeniable that people don’t often talk about the San Diego Padres. The reasons for this, presumably, are numerous. The Padres haven’t been good for a while. They have a relatively small fan base, and a limited payroll, and they’re overshadowed by bigger deals up north. They play out West, for whatever that might matter. They don’t have any stop-what-you’re...

Padres' Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin may land on DL

The San Diego Padres are above .500 for the first time this season.  They've been playing well and have won six games in a row.  However, their ability to maintain that success will be largely dependent on how healthy they can remain.  And right now, it looks like health is a real concern.  At least for Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin. Cabrera had to leave yesterday...
