Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune writes of a rumor that The San Diego Padres might slash payroll from this year’s $73.6MM way down to $40MM.  The Padres reportedly explained this scenario to Brian Giles in an attempt to get him to accept a trade to Boston last week.  Krasovic heard about the pitch via Giles’ teammates, but wasn’t able to draw any comments from GM Kevin Towers.  Scott Miller believes owner John Moores’ divorce is a factor.

The Padres don’t have any large contracts on the books for ‘09; Giles would be their most expensive player at $9MM unless they choose his $3MM buyout.  After that it’s Jake Peavy at $8MM, Khalil Greene at $6.5MM, Chris Young at $4.5MM, and Adrian Gonzalez at $3MM.  By my count they have six arbitration-eligible players, including Josh Bard, Heath Bell, Scott Hairston, and Jody Gerut.  The Padres could retain Giles and still be under $45MM, though that’d leave no money for free agents

On a Sunday afternoon, a good time too enjoy an Ice Cold Coors; the Rockies got a “Cold Hard Blast” from The San Diego Padres, or more like four of them off the bats of the Padres. With that score line you’d think both teams went All-Arms In but not the case.

Chris Younghad his stuff, then he didn’t have his stuff; throwing 3 shutout innings before he fell apart at the seams, going 4 innings on 9 hits 7 runs all earned with 3 BB 2 strikeouts and giving up one home run. All of this way in the 4th inning, then Bud Blackthe clever lefty, throw-up two of he’s own two praised left-handers out of his pen; Justin Hampson and Wilfredo Ledezma put 5 innings of shutout baseball with 5hits 2 BB 3 strikeouts between them, Hampson getting the win.

The Lineup batted like this: Jody Gerut went 3-6 with a 3run HR 2hits and 2 runs scored, Luis Rodriguez went 2-6 with two runs scored. Brian Giles went 4-6 with a 2run HR 3hits 2RBIs and 4 runs scored, Adrian Gonzalez went 4-5 with 4 hits 2 RBI 3 runs scored and a BB. Kevin Kouzmanoff went 3-6 a 2 run home run hie 17th of the year, also had  2 hits and a run scored, Chase Headley went 1-2 with a hit a RBI and a run scored and had 3 BB.

Luke Carlin got his first homer of the year a 2 run shot, also a hit two other RBI 2 runs scored one BB and 2 strikeouts, Edger Gonzalez  went 1-5 with a run scored one hit one walk and two strikeouts.

Tomorrow’s game the Padres are back in San Diego at Petco Park with Cha Seung Baek(4-6) vs. J.Suppan(7.7) game starts at 7:05pm pt/10:05pm et.

On the Saturday night game in San Diego most of The San Diego Padres fans were preparing for the Chargers Pre-Season Game vs. Dallas, but for those who where flipping back n’ forth they saw a very good pitched game by “Greg Mad Dog Maddux” the 3rd straight that the rest of the Padres lineup back him scoring wise. He went six innings giving up 6 hits 2 runs both earned one BB 4 strikeouts and gave up one home run; very solid again, I hope he get his shot at winning at least 10 games this year making it 20 years with least 10 or more games won.

Bullpen Notes: Mike Adams, Clay Hensley, Heath Bell, Cla Meredith and Trevor Hoffman combined to throw up 3 scoreless innings one hit 3 BB and 2 strikeouts, and Hoffman getting his 25th save of the year. On a bad Bullpen note: Bryan Corey gave up 2 hits and one run scored it was earned and got no one out.
The bats came alive in the sixth after being tied 1-1 the Padres put together a series of hits that scored them 5 runs. Adrian Gonzalez went 2-5 with his 28th homer of the year also had another hit with an RBI and two runs scored; Luis Rodriguez went 3-5 with two runs scored and a strikeout. Kevin Kouzmanoff also went 3-5 two runs scored and an RBI with one strikeout.
Chase Headley went 2-5 with a run scored and two RBIs plus a strikeout.

Nick Hundley went 1-4 with a run scored and two RBIs and two strikeout, and good ole’ Mad Dog went 1-3 with a RBI bunt single in the sixth too keep the rally alive, as usual Maddux helping his own case for a win. Brian Giles went 0-5 with a strikeout, 3 ground-outs and a pop-up.

Tomorrow’s game will be Chris Young (4-4) vs. L.Hernandez (10-8) at 12:05pm pt/1:05pm ct/3:05 pm ET. TV: 4SD/704-HD | RADIO: XPRS 1090/105.7 FM, XEMO 860
