The Padres have the starting rotation to make the post season, and in a short three game series I can really see them advancing.  When you have Jake Peavy and Chris Young throwing for you during the first two games you have got to always like your changes in a series.  Now you can add in Mark Prior who recently signed a one-year contact with the Padres to the rotation in probably June.

The question for the Padres however is their offense.  Will they be able to score enough runs to win the close ballgames at Petco?  You will be hitting a lot more doubles then home runs so you will have to play a lot of small ball.  That is my only question heading into the 2008 season for the Padres.  What do you think?  Do the Padres have enough firepower to make the playoffs in 08?  Leave us a comment and let your opinions be heard.
