Change can be tough to accept, but in sports, as in life, it's inevitable. That doesn't mean it's always right. Progress often claims the livelihood of the "little guy," and that's exactly what's happened recently in Eugene, Oregon. Although, I use the word "progress" loosely here. Bob Beban, his wife, Eileen, and his son, Bryan, had played integral roles in keeping minor league baseball in Eugene for the past 28 years.

The San Diego Padres and infielder Jorge Cantu have reached agreement on a one-year contract. The Padres also agreed Wednesday with right-hander Greg Burke on a minor league deal. He was invited to big league spring training. Cantu split the 2010 season between the Florida Marlins and Texas Rangers, hitting a combined .256 with 11 home runs and 56 RBIs.

As the 2011 baseball season draws closer, most of the padre fans have 
forgotten about even having a team. Most say that the team’s chance ended this season before it evening started, when the hometown hero Adrian Gonzalez was shipped off to Boston for a hand full of prospects. But we have to give credit where credit is do, the first baseman stated it would cost a lot to keep him in San Diego after the 2011 season. So the very smart and eager to win GM Jed Hoyer pulled the trigger for the future of the franchise and also pulling many triggers for the 2011 season, So lets take a look. This is only a post spring training lineup prediction.
1st-Brad Hawpe, 2nd-Orlando Hundson, 3rd-Chase Headley(if chase is sent to AAA to work on his swing you might see Jorge’ Cantu here)
ss-Jason Bartlett , c-Nick Hundley (as with him as with chase,you might see a mix of Rob Johnson/Greg Zaun. LF-Ryan Ludwick,
CF-Cameron Maybin, RF-Will Venable and if he doesn’t stay Constance you also might see J.Cantu there as well.
Bench wise look like this:Oscar Salazar,Aaron Cunningham,Chris Denorfia,Eric Patterson,Everth Cabrera, And new comer from AAA Mike Baxter.
possibly the starting lineup:
1.Maybin 2.Hudson 3.Bartlett 4.Ludwick 5.Hawpe 6.Headley 7.Venable/or Cantu. 8.Hundley/Zaun/Johnson 9.Pichter
keep and mind this team age avg-28 and the all been told their careers are coming to the down side so they a have a chip on the shoulder, which I think might just motivate in a WS ring!
My therapy sessions have almost ended. I'm ready for a brand new start. You see, after such a heartbreaking end to last season, my San Diego Padres are only a month away from the start of spring training. And I couldn't be more excited! As a San Diego native I've watched as the Padres fight year after year to compete with those "other" clubs that seem to buy their way into the playoffs. I've seen them transition from brown and yellow, to pinstriped blue, and now I enjoy the occasional camouflage.
