If San Diego doesn't re-sign Henry Blanco before their exclusive negotiating window ends on Thursday, it appears as if there is at least one known suitor for the veteran catcher. According to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune, Blanco's agent Steven Schneider singled out the White Sox as one of "several teams" who have shown interest in Blanco's services. Blanco's role in Chicago would...
Padres fans have plenty to think about beyond considering the future of Adrian Gonzalez, and Corey Brock of MLB.com does a terrific job breaking down some of those potential moves in his latest mailbag. Brock says that he doesn't see Kevin Correia "going anywhere." His "GM-for-a-day" scenario involves signing Mike Cameron and Henry Blanco. He's a big fan of the minor league third...

Cheers have turned into boos for Franklin Morales. The left-hander entered the game in the seventh inning for starter Jason Hammel, who left with one on and one out. Morales promptly gave up a bloop hit to Tony Gwynn and loaded the bases by walking Henry Blanco. Then Morales walked Everth Cabrera, forcing in a run and cutting the Rockies' lead to 3-2.
From the Wait 'til this Year Humor Vault Ron Mahay, shown here in the midst of one of his many average-to-slightly below average outings. NEW YORK--Rookie of the Year. Cy Young. MVP. These are the annual baseball awards that get all the attention and hoopla.

The Rockies didn't fare well last time out against Mujica. However, nothing spells revenge like a motivated team who is coming off of a nice offensive performance and is returning to their home park for a crucial nine game stretch. Having De La Rosa on the bump, who was absolutely nails in his last start, should help matters. Edward Mujica #45 / Pitcher / San Diego Padres Height: 6-2 Weight: 215 Bats:...
By Dejan Kovacevic | 3:10 p.m. Saturday If this was Ross Ohlendorf's final start of 2009, it certainly served as a tidy microcosm: He pitched quite well, got no support and had little to show for it all in the Pirates' 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres this afternoon before 20,379 at PNC Park. Ohlendorf allowed one run on five hits over seven innings, striking out five and walking one. That left his...
