We could just start by giving an incomplete grade, almost by default. With Eric Hosmer (@therealHoz) still lingering on the finally-heating-up free-agent market, the grades being given below could change drastically if he is signed by the San Diego Padres.
For now, we will give the grades based on what’s been done so far. Given all the attention being paid to Hosmer, the Padres have had a very productive off-season on the lineup addition side of things.
The single most important addition in my opinion? Solving the riddle that has plagued the Friars for years; shoring up the shortstop position.
