Report: Padres' new ownership has money to spend - CBSSports.com
Nice. Let's hope it translates to at least a decent payroll that kept them in competition in the mid 00s

Hopefully you do it right, build up through the draft, and not splurge on, say, Carlos Lee.

I'd be pissed if Lee was the big splash.
I definitely prefer building through the draft, but if they have money to spend to help I'm also all for that.

They'll splurge on......Melky Cabrera.
Unfortunately, that's likely what's going to happen

Josh Hamilton?
Kyle LOOOOOOOOOOOHSE!
No, wait. The Empire or Nation will cream over Lohse.
I doubt it, we're not spending money as freely these days. We even made the Ms pay for Suzuki. The Sahwx however....

The Padres need to build around speed and pitching, much like I want the Giants to do. PetCo just makes it silly to spend on big power hitters. Spend big on pitching!
But what if they move in the fences as is being rumored?
Then that obviously changes things but the Padres would be dumb to do in my opinion.
Either way I'm always more for pitching than I am for offense.

Keep the fences where they are and build around speed, defense and pitching.
