ESPN: Padres to move in Petco fences

http://espn.go.com/m...on-petco-fences

After years of angst by their sluggers, the Padres said it was time to change the extreme nature of the downtown ballpark -- which some people derisively called Petco National Park -- to one that plays more fairly.

"We want the park to play the right away for players and for the fans," Padres president and CEO Tom Garfinkel said.

The Padres are 42-55, in last place in the NL West.

 

Rotoworld: CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees inquired about Chase Headley but were told he's "as close as possible to an untouchable player without actually being one."

 

That's probably not totally true, but it's not really a good time to trade Headley, anyway, given that he's batting only .229/.330/.359. Heyman adds that the Padres would consider dealing their third baseman only if "it's absolutely the right deal.'' Headley is making $8.575 million this season and will be arbitration-eligible for the final time over the winter. Jul 17 - 10:01 PM

Back in his days with the Marlins I used to have a huge fan crush on AJ Burnett. I was ecstatic when they were supposedly closeto acquiring him and was ticked off when they backed out of the deal. I was upset when they didn't try to sign him as a free agent. I continued to root for him even when he played for the Blue Jays and Yankees. I got in quite a few arguments over the years at OH over his potential and whether he was injury prone.

While I still consider myself an AJ Burnett fan I have a new fan crush, someone I've written about a couple of times on here. Tyson Ross. I know it won't happen but I'd love to see the Orioles figure out how to get him.

@Padres We are deeply saddened to announce that Jerry Coleman passed away today.  We mourn the loss of an American hero and a great man.

CBS Sports: Improving Padres made quiet try for Headley, but free agency looms

 

It isn't known what the Padres offered Headley over the winter, but the sides were far enough apart that there's no discussion ongoing. They only both agree at this point that free agency after the year is the most likely scenario for Headley.

Unfortunate. Hate seeing guys have their careers derailed to injuries.
