Keep in mind that the three year average (2004-2006) park factors for home runs at Petco (SD) Park is 89 for LHB and 108 for RHB (most hitters are RH).

The Padres have by far the best bullpen in the NL West.

and are right up there with the Diamondbacks as far as the best teams in the NL West.

Danny, aside from the hair, Khalil Greene is going to be interesting to watch too. I mean, even for a SS, his OBP is terrible. But dude’s got pop. If he could ever consistently have an OBP of .350, he’d be one of the elite. I expect his numbers to drop slightly in the power department though.

But Adrian Gonzalez is an unknown monster.

FYI – I can’t see the other comments, the “Leave a Comment” section is covering some stuff up.

And oh yeah, the only thing that is breaking on Maddux are his pitches as he goes for win number 350. He’s indestructable.

Also, you should bump their grade up to a B- in the unlikely event that Khalil Greene shows up for spring training with a haircut. That boy needs some help.
