Positives From This Season
Sean Manaea was not a player most fans expected the Padres to have on the roster for Opening Day when spring training started but once they acquired him during Cactus League games, I expected him to be a reliable starter who would eat innings for Bob Melvin. Well, that’s what fans got for most of the season.
Manaea almost made 30 starts and ended up pitching at least six innings in 17 of his starts, which was more 6+ inning starts than he made in 2021 with Oakland.
