@lonestarfriar i dunno, I feel if I were at the game next to her she'd make me want to leave. I get yelling now and then but every 15 seconds is ruining the experience for everyone around you. that's my "get off my lawn" take.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@SergioMQuintero @kylestelter78 is he really a late bloomer? Padres signed him when he was like 17. I think he doesn't fit the mold of a typical Preller player in that he only plays OF. He's a big guy and if he's learning to tap into that power, he may be too good to keep off the roster.

@AmoreSports @tylerahawk dodgers aren't managing these guys though. They get thrown in the deep end, get told to max effort pitchers and if the UCL goes it goes, next man up.

@FoulTerritoryTV @ErikKratz31 like Kevin Durant blazed his own path with the Warriors.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@MatthewHulet @PadreFanDan I understand being smarter with payroll but they can't just sit on their hands, the offseason is halfway over and they've done nothing. saving on player payroll won't mean a lot if the on-field product suffers.

@AvgJoe08 @PadresFanTakes I like Salas but i don't think an 18 year old catcher who's hitting .206 in High-A has a chance to even hit .100 in MLB. I don't know what makes you think he's ready. That's not a knock on him, he's 18.

@GarysheffieldJr @bwine76 Take Pete Alonso whose market value is ~$30m/yr. What is the market for 3-4 WAR 1B?? If I'm looking to fill that need I'd rather trade for a better player like Vlad Jr.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@PadresFanTakes @mickeykoke Nah, there are a number of experienced catchers like Elias Diaz that are still out there and he meshed well here. I'm usually ok with aggressive promotions but Salas getting pushed to MLB this season is too extreme.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@TatisMVPszn i just think teams are trying to get the best deal for themselves primarily. Most GMs don't have enough job security to have any other priority.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@sdpadfan @JimRussellSD you can't seriously be implying that Padres have been unfair with arbitration negotiations. One player in 10 years hasn't agreed to terms. Padres have been more than fair relative to the rest of the league.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@thisisframos @BaseUnstitched you can't look at the recent history of Padres with arbitration and seriously levy an accusation that they're "cheaping out." They've been extremely player friendly over the past 10 years.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@BaseUnstitched this is the first arbitration hearing Padres have had in AJ Preller tenure, so he's been very fair to players overall. I get King's side of this but they're going off of 2 arbitration figures when he was a reliever and he's getting a good bump in compensation.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@BaseUnstitched What the Padres filed ($7.3m) is almost certainly lower than what they offered him in initial negotiations. The lower figure is an incentive to get something done before the hearing, because the team wins these more often than not.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@BajaBlessed22 @PrellersBurner I think they're looking at Eguy as a real possibility. They've already experimented with OF in the minors so think he gets a shot in ST.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@PrellersBurner I wouldn't rule out Eguy Rosario in LF. They played him some in the OF last season in the minors.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@The_CallUpPod too early for a 2022 redraft

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@AlScott1998 IMO there is 100% going to be a change in ownership before his contract is up.

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@Pimp_Lord619 So "fire Preller" is still a thing on here?

[Brent Selders @MelloFellowSU]

@SouthpawJ @Padres_Burner69 not before you earn real money. Walker Buehler should've signed for $300m.
