If you think that Wall Street has hit the bottom, think otherwise because sometime in the fall the market will fall to a threshold of 4500. The Padres have reached the bottom literally in one week, they were nearly involved in a no-hitter, following night they were in fact NO-HITTED, and they settled at LAST PLACE. How did they get here ? From horrendous drafts from 1996 through 2005 and who’s accountable ? Gone is all the former CEO’s, some scouts, coaches, and a manager. Though, only person who’s accountable still remains with the ballclub, the GM.
It’s time for the franchise to step up to the plate and be honest with not only to those fans who are true baseball fans, but to those who have supported the franchise for a very long time. Ray Kroc, back in the 1980’s apologize, what has changed since then ? The Padres have a new stadium, in downtown and though the results remain the same despite a growing town in terms of population and wealth in comparison to the 1980’s. Just maybe, Towers can go out and bring back Joey Hamilton since he has already brought back Brian Lawerence to the Padres.
Trading Scott Hairston for a three-pack of prospects is like a financial adviser telling you to sell google stocks for three junior miner stocks who have limited funding and potential earnings. We call that high risk investments, and thank god Towers isn’t my day financial adviser or I couldn’t afford my season tickets because I would be broke. Let’s trade Towers for a few GM prospects, just maybe this organization will get in the right direction.
