So we are starting a new weekly feature here at Gwynntelligence. This Week In Padres Twitter will attempt to curate the best blog posts, articles, podcasts and tweets about the Padres each week. This should provide a handy digest of all things interesting and Padres related that can easily get lost on a Twitter feed.
Gwynntelligence blog posts:
Is Zach Lee the most important part of the Padres rotation?
We looked at how a fallen top prospect like Zach Lee may have the most value either in trade or to the next competitive Padres team, and shouldn’t be stuck in AAA to get hack veterans meaningless innings.
In the feature no one is clamoring for, Marver brought back his Padres/Pokemon mash up feature. On the bright side, the more Marver focuses on Pokemon mash ups, the less he can tweet about insurance market risk pools!
Gwynntelligence Podcast: Season Predictions
In the latest podcast episode, we discuss season predictions after getting off track reminiscing about Walter Silva’s brief but notable tenure on the Padres.
