Yeah, that didn't work so well. The San Diego Padres, under new general manager A.J. Preller, went nuts last offseason, bringing in Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, James Shields, Craig Kimbrel, Wil Myers, Derek Norris, Will Middlebrooks, Shawn Kelley, Brandon Morrow, Brandon Maurer, Melvin Upton ... and fell from 77 wins to 74. What's Plan B?
What do they need: A shortstop. A center fielder, unless you believe in Melvin Upton's decent 228 plate appearances (112 OPS+) are a return to form after two terrible seasons.
