Aadik pretty much beat me to it, and add in the fact that Mark Loretta had a career year last year and Khalil Greene will be teh suk with the bat this year. Oh, and Jay Payton is the starting center fielder. Ask a Mets fan what they think of that.
The Padres do have a real good bullpen, though, and the rotation is not bad, but there are tons of injury risks there. If
David Wells, Adam Eaton, and Jake Peavy don't get hurt, PETCO will truly live up to its name.
