Lucchesi, Lauer, Paddock, Strahm, and ?.
Logan Allen is a viable candidate but he is only 21. I think they would like him to get more experience and give the Padres his 27-year old seasons before free agency.
Robbie erlin has been hammered this spring.
Nix is injured.
Quantrill had a disappointing year in the minors last year but the Padres are still high on him and he has started a couple games in spring training - not pitching too badly.
Bullpen day?

Mitchell, thankfully, doesn't appear to enter into the equation any longer. |

Robbie erlin went two hitless Innings against Cleveland today. Padres had a no-hitter into the seventh inning winning again 3 to 1.

Nix is throwing again. I guess he wasn't injured as badly as I thought.

Lauer and Lucchesi had some great strings a good pitching performances last season. Paddock could be the new pitching sensation. There always seems to be one rookie that comes up in just rocks. Strahm dominated last season. If he is able to carry that over into a starting job and the others pan out as I think they can the Padres could suddenly have a dominant pitching staff. Isn't spring training fun?

Nick Margevicius starts today. 7th round pick a couple of years ago from College. He had a great peripheral stats season last year. Great strikeout-to-walk ratio with a high batting average on balls in play making a much lower FIP than ERA.

Doesn't happen to the Padres any more frequently than a lot of other teams.

Nix has fought hard to come back, I feel awful for him. |

Three times in a few seasons isn't a lot. Tampa Bay lost four pitchers in the same year. The Angels have had about 3.5 million guys over the last 3 years. It's just so much more common these days overall. |

I was just referring to those specific guys. It's just more common as a whole in the sport, it seems like a forgone conclusion for the most part if you throw hard and have mechanical flaws.

This starting rotation is going to get crushed. I hate to be the forecaster of doom, but look for the team ERA to be around 5.00 and a few of these guys on the DL or back in San Antonio before long.

If I knew you, I would be glad to take your money if you had the nerve to back that statement up. Joey Lucchesi had an ERA of 4.08 in 28 starts last season as a 24 year old. He should easily be better this season. Eric Laurer had an ERA of 4.34 in 23 starts last season as a 22 year old. He should easily be better this season. I think Laurer will be much better. His ERA was higher than his general effectiveness because of 3 starts right before he went on the DL. After he came back He gave up 3 Earned runs in his last 5 starts. This spring he has not been scored on and has a 0.50 WHIP. Chirs Paddack is a very good candidate to be a sensational rookie. Matt Strahm had a 2.05 ERA out of the pen and projects well as a starter since he uses 4 pitches. He did start 5 games last season in which he had a 1.35 ERA. The Padres have a number of options for the 5th spot. I think that will possibly be the only starter with an ERA above 5.00. I am hoping for Logan Allen - I think he will be a good pitcher. The bullpen will be awesome as always. It loses Matt Strahm but they did sign Adam Warren who had a 3.14 ERA in the AL last season in the Yankees and Mariners pens. There will be a couple of good pitchers coming of TJ surgery that could see action late in the season, if needed. |

There will be a couple of good pitchers coming of TJ surgery that could see action late in the season, if needed. None of the current starting rotation (Paddack, Lauer, Lucchesi, Erlin, Strahm) has ever thrown 150+ innings in a season nor had a winning record in the majors, so yes, I would take that bet. What is it about Spring Training that makes people into cockeyed optimists? Have you been watching this team the last 15 years? I’m sure the scouting report is out on Lucchesi and Lauer this time around, lay off the sweeping curve and drive the fastball, or whatever. I look at the Dodgers, Dbacks and Rockies staffs and have a hard time seeing this team above .500. Yes the Pads will swat the ball with almost anybody, but there is WAY TOO MUCH inexperience on the mound to expect anything great this year. |
