Sandy Alderson was just interviewed by Werndel and Caplan. During this he said that the Padres are in a postition to make a move and get the player needed at the deadline should they decide that is the move they want to make. He went onto say that if the Padres chose not to make a move that it would NOT be due to a financial situation. He also eluded to a "player being sent down, who was not performing", I take this to mean Burroughs. I heard that Burroughs was being optioned down when Loretta comes back, and I think that is on the 16th.

Just the latest update from the top of the food chain here in SD, wanted to share....

I would like to thank Sandy Alderson for doing that interview, it was great to hear someone speaking of progress, and not how we'd have to gut the team to add one player......Thank you Sandy & GO PADRES !!!
