The San Diego Padres have one of the strongest clubhouses in the league. Before the team went out and added Keone Kela, I wrote that he made sense for the Friars because this group of guys couldn’t just handle his personality, but could allow him to thrive.

Yu Darvish, who, in recent years, has emerged as a personality himself, especially on Twitter, has found a home in San Diego for the same reason. For those of you who didn’t follow him prior to his arrival this winter, he experienced some pretty brutal stretches early on in his Cubs career.
