Good pickup for the Pads, I love Cameron.

Good to see the Pads helped the Mets by taking all of his salary and expanding that payroll. Good one!

Nady is 27 and has been around for a while. He isn't this new prospect. Its an upgrade in power, defense and strikeouts. Cameron's power will go down since he would play in Petco half the time so who knows with this one. the Mets will still look for a first baseman.

you really do love that reefer, don't you?

I don't get it?

in one (of the 3) threads you make it out like the Padres were doing good by acquiring Cameron for a 27 year old guy who's still yet to prove anything, then in here you critisize the Padres for taking on the payroll.

The crack was because of the double standard

edit: of course i've been drinking, so my posts don't make as much sense while i'm drinking... lol

I thought it was funny that the Pads would do that for the Mets. Why give a team that can afford so much a break? Nady costs nothing so at least the pads could do is ask for the Pads to eat some of that money. Giving another NL team a break is silly, that's all. **** it and drink up

I think that's what the Pads did.

actually, reefer is correct. The padres took on all the payroll. I'm actually a bit peeved about that aspect of it.
