It will be interesting with the acquisition of Maddux and Bud Black as manager.

with the loss of piazza, the padres need a good bat in the lineup. one player that the padres should puruse is huff. a good hitting utility player. maddux adds a veteran to the rotation but he will not be the pitcher he was with the dodgers.
prediction: 2nd place behind the dodgers. will miss the playoff in the wild card race (astros).

The Padres will never win a World Series

I am less than impressed with the moves the Padres have made. I am not even sure they will repeat and NL West champions, let alone go to the World Series. The are supposedly close to signing Marcus Giles, so we'll just wait and see.

Not much. The addition of Maddox may help a bit, but the manager never hits a ball, or throws a pitch, and he just doesn't have the horses he can rely on to do so. Just another so-so year for the Padres.
Chow!!

The Padres took a step back this offseason, not a step forward... Dont expect much

Their chances of a playoff spot are decent, but a World Series title is pretty much out of the question.

actually the padres haven't done much ti improve if anything they probably will be worse this year then last year if anything they have taken steps backwards instead of forward

We need to spend more money, we need a LF. If we add a power hitting Left Fielder our chances at a title should be legit.
