The Padres (tied with the Chargers) make the dumbest decisions when it comes to the front office.

Check out this trade from last year (with this year's stats)

They got Brian Giles from the Pirates who is having a decent year:

.278 15HR 63RBI and 33years old

For These two guys:

Oliver Perez 130 Innings, 7-7 Record (on a bad team) and a 3.13 ERA. Oh yeah - he is a leftie and 22 years old

Jason Bay .301BA 14HR 46RBI in only 70 games. He is 25 years old and won the NL Rookie of the month the last two months after taking over in RF

Just Oliver Perez was too much. An effective young Left hander? Yeah get rid of him. The thing is that the Pads should be happy to finish over .500 at all compared to where they have been the last few years. That being said, why then mortgage the future for a 33y/o RFer? They are going to always suck.

They are lucky to be 6.5 games out. Dummies
