I realize that 3rd base is optimally the spot for a great hitter, but given what I've seen from Kouzmanoff as a defensive player, I'm starting to think that I'd be OK with his bat as is.<br /><br />At the end of next April, when Kouz is going through his traditional slow start, I may feel differently. Somebody get that boy a timing mechanism in his swing!<br /><br />Interestingly, just as I was feeling like the decision between Headley and Kouzmanoff at third was swaying towards Kouz, Headley has come on with the bat.David Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265851063380019384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-43390533624000333562009-08-07T21:42:06.335-07:002009-08-07T21:42:06.335-07:00I'm sorry Paul.

It's easy to tell by looking at his game-by-game stats that he has slowly regained his command. I have one question, though. What do you think the reason for the huge dropoff in his K/IP rate (116 K in 125.1 IP before surgery; 98 K in 189.1 IP since returning)? Is he focused more on getting the batters to put the ball in play early in the count or is he still trying to regain command on his breaking pitch? Just wondering. I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch in San Diego in September. Or is that sooner after the Gaudin trade?Jason - MLBDepthCharts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271029760232228603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-59091872720085930262009-08-07T11:33:57.024-07:002009-08-07T11:33:57.024-07:00Paul,

I don't think too many Padre fans would be excited if either Leblanc or Geer makes the start (and it appears neither is in the team's future plans). Would there be any reason why you wouldn't recall Carrillo? Or is Poreda ahead of him right now?Schlomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897486624873003428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-5721956843404748762009-08-07T11:06:03.646-07:002009-08-07T11:06:03.646-07:00Paul,

I'm optimistic that if the Pads receive "cash considerations" from the Yankess in exchange for Gaudin, that cash will be used to help sign Williams and Sampson. We need all the top-end talent we can get and to let one of these guys out of our grasp would basically be telling the fans "meet the new boss...same as the old boss." I trust that the club will do the right thing and make these guys Padres.

Seeing Latos, Blanks, and Cabrera emerge really is the highlight of the season.<br /><br />Now go out and sign Tate/Williams. I'm a little frustrated with the direction in the Williams negotiation. If you aren't going to go well over slot, don't select a HS kid projected to be a top 20 pick.

I know he is still young and I still think he is going to be a good major leaguer but what is the cause for his minor dropoff this year? His obp is not very good but he still has only struck out 36 times in 450 pa is it just a year of bad luck for him?
