| Team | Division | Payroll (Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| NY Yankees | AL East | $206 million (1st) |
| Chicago white Sox | AL Central | $108 million (7th) |
| Texas Rangers | AL West | $55 million (27th) |
| Atlanta Braves | NL East | $84 million (15th) |

yea whatever…
2010 stats
| Player | GS | CG | W | L | ER | K | BB | H | ERA | WHIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mat Latos | 16 | 1 | 9 | 4 | 29 | 91 | 26 | 70 | 2.62 | 0.96 |
| Tim Lincecum | 17 | 0 | 8 | 4 | 40 | 121 | 46 | 97 | 3.28 | 1.30 |
| Chris Carpenter | 18 | 0 | 9 | 2 | 42 | 105 | 36 | 109 | 3.16 | 1.21 |
and how does the national league leader in saves (bell, 23) not get on the roster… but broxton, who is 10th in saves, does (16)?
guess charlie manuel doesn’t care much about winning… arthur rhodes (40 year old lefty specialist), evan meek?
so you might be saying, “damn… joey’s a padres homer”
f off… stats don’t lie…
i’ll even give props to another snubbed player, pelfrey (10-2, 2.93 era, 1.29 whip) — happy?

what a difference a year makes
| Year | W | L | Runs Scored | Runs Against | Winning % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 35 | 46 | 310 | 405 | .432 |
| 2010 | 48 | 33 | 336 | 267 | .593 |
look at that runs against total — pitching has been HUGE this year… which has equated to national league-tying best record (atl)
padres leading the majors in the following categories:
clearly, the starters and especially the bullpen (“the pen-itentiary“) are killin’ it… adams and gregerson lead the majors in holds (21, 19) and bell leads the majors in saves (23)
offense, however, needs to pick things up
so obviously the padres are in the race… and a bat needs to be brought in… but who do you trade for a solid bat?
…i’m okay with mujica getting moved…
oh btw, i love stats…
