Sometimes two front offices get along really well and like to work with one another. Sometimes no one knows why.

Good ol' Bretty T
Tomko was a crappy Red who became a crappy Mariner and THEN a crappy Padre.Devin - December 23, 2006
And Vazquez...
Was a crappy Mariner who became a crappier Padre...Devin - December 23, 2006
Man. Fixed.
I'm all ass-backwards tonight.Jeff Sullivan - December 23, 2006
Yeah
you have Tomko in the wrong columnMatthew - December 23, 2006
Brian Sweeney!
The Fighters signed him for next year. I am pretty psyched about that.Also, does Justin Leone fit in here somewhere? :)
Deanna - December 23, 2006
I am ashamed for forgetting him.
:(Jeff Sullivan - December 23, 2006
So you should be
Graham MacAree - December 24, 2006
I think
You should move the following players from the good/decent list to the crappy list:Rich Aurilia
Brian Sweeney
Miguel Olivo
Gene Kingsale
Grant H - December 23, 2006
But the Padres are
our bitter rivals!!!! Bud Selig and interleague play say so!DKulich44 - December 23, 2006
I could have gone an entire lifetime
without seeing the name "Kevin Jarvis" again. Oh, and I remember Brian Sweeney picking off (I think) Jason Giambi (then an Athletic) at second base. That ruled. Then we traded him.JordanB - December 23, 2006
Addition to Decent/Good Mariners List
Dave Hansen was hitting .282 in 2004 when we traded him off at the deadline. I think that, in fairness, that qualifies him as decent. When we got him back in 2005, he sucked. Therefore, I think that he should probably be on both lists.AFRanger - December 23, 2006
Very valid point.
Fixed.Jeff Sullivan - December 23, 2006
speaking of crappy padres...
Guess who was watching a certain crappy former Padre pitcher? Read on if you don't already know. His addition would trigger a litany of "WHOA" jokes from me, as well as some tears and sorrow.wackomann - December 23, 2006
Mateo
I was going to say he's not a lost cause yet but his AA stats leave me sadly mistaken.Mariner John - December 23, 2006
That's Comedy!
Sean Burroughs (assumed)...classic!Geeves72 - December 23, 2006
Huber?
He was a Padre right?I guess still too little service to make the list.
eknpdx - December 24, 2006
Why do these people keep slipping my mind?
Jeff Sullivan - December 24, 2006
Well
there have been more transactions than should have to be counted between the teams.Mariner John - December 24, 2006
Omar Falcon too
He's put up some ok numbers but its way too early to tell if he's going to develop into anything.Edgar for Pres - December 24, 2006
Besides...
he was a six-year FA this year and signed with some other team, only to be minor league rule 5ed by a different team...If we're counting Falcon, a rule 5 pickup, we might as well count Darwin Soto too, and I think Billy Hogan was in there somewhere even though he never played one game in our system.
JY - December 24, 2006
Yeah I wasn't sure how far we were going with it
Edgar for Pres - December 24, 2006
I think the point has been made anyway.
JY - December 24, 2006
Amazingly with all the crappy Padres that
we took from them, we are only down 2 games in this fierce rivalry.W - L
24-26
Edgar for Pres - December 24, 2006
"Jeff Cirillo"
Remember that utter bomb he hit against us? I found that moment perversely exciting.spittle8 - December 26, 2006
Mike Cameron
The Padres and the Cardinals are like kids who's parents desperately want them to play together even though they don't have much in common besides going to the same school.However... Cameron worked out pretty well for us. Sorry about that Ben Davis thing. At least he was tall with chiseled looks.
Dex @ Lookout Landing - December 30, 2006
And by Cardinals...
...I, of course, meant Mariners. Getting beat by the same team every time you're in the playoffs will kinda stick with you I guess.Dex @ Lookout Landing - December 30, 2006
