We’re just a week into Cactus League action and there’s no reason to panic. But the San Diego Padres offense has been relatively quiet so far this spring.

As of Monday, San Diego ranks 25th among the 30 MLB teams with a .695 OPS – better than just five teams. Again, if you’re looking for a sign it’s nothing to worry about, just look at some of the teams who rank below the Friars: the Yankees, Astros and Cardinals. Of course, the Orioles and Pirates are down there, too, but it’s clear that you can’t make too much of the fact.
