When was Hagerty released? I never read that he was, but I did read that he was in minor league camp. Unless I'm mistaken, Hagerty was a 2nd round, and not 1st round, pick. Sandwich pick. 32nd overall. Link
haha, a real man would've scored all his points in overtime instead of just 7 A real man? Who is questioning his masculinity? What are you talking about?...... No one really. I do have a little trouble figuring out how you're not impressed with LBJ shooting 14-25 from the field, 11-13 from the line, with 9 assists and 5 boards and being his team's only option on offense for the last 8 minutes + overtime.
I don't think it's all that surprising. Wuertz wasn't healthy to start ST, after he got better Wood went down and will start on the DL, and Cotts has been awful all spring. Even with Cherry's performance injuries/ineffectiveness have prevented the appearance of much depth.
Not necessarily. After all, it's pretty late in ST to be picked up with another team after being released. He can make the case that it was the only opportunity he had. Which is going to hurt his case. There are 29 teams out there he offered his services to and the only opportunity he had was to sign a deal that doesn't even guarantee him a 40 man roster spot, let alone a 25 man. Seems like a cut and dry win for the Padres. I think you have to take into account that it's now the eve of the season, most teams have their rosters all but set and their money all but spent.

I like giving up on 19 year olds. Garza has done what exactly? Won 4 games? At one time Mark Prior looked like the best player from his draft. I didn't say anything about giving up on Pawelek, but wouldn't you trade him for Garza? Garza's clearly MLB ready now, there's a chance Pawelek may never reach that point.
I disagree with that assertion-Ryan Leaf is one example of a player who made it to a similar level in another league and was most definitely soft. Not a good comparison. Leaf didn't have to get promoted through 4 levels of minor league football.
Why is that? Why would someone who's employed for another team have a better handle on Prior's makeup than any Cub fan who follows the team closely? This is ridiculous. If anything, Prior's taking the high road in not trying to make himself more important than anyone else who got sent down with the "employee" comment. I can't believe how many people are jumping him for this.
