Strengths
The Padres have a very good outfield and the perfect designated hitter in Jack Clark. Tony Gwynn will be among the leaders in hitting and never forget that this team has Trevor Hoffman, the NL version of Mariano.

Weaknesses
There are a number of them. The infield and catching situation is far from strong, especially when Phil Nevin is your starting 3rd base man. Starting pitching will also be a big concern and Dave Drevecky and Andy Benes may not be cut out for this level.

Expectations
What can one expect from a team that never won a World Series? There is always optimism in San Diego and to sit in the sun and watch this kind of baseball would be enough for anyone; winning will be asking too much.
