no to all these inquires - there is absoulety no logical reason for this choice by the AI

* the Padres are in second place
* they are set to "win now"
* Leiper might be a career .250 hitter, but he is projected for 28HR/112RBI this year and is coming off 37/129 and 37/122 seasons - He is a big time slugger
* more importantly Blanco should't even be in the big leagues. His contact skill and tallent are both at 3. He is a career .176 hitter - He is 29 - not a future prospect. Hell, he wasn't even on the roster till 9/1 call-ups
* someone mentioned contract and that can't be it either Leiper just signed a 5M x 5 year extension

Bottom line this is an odd bug, hopefully something that can be addressed in 6.51
