Was there ever any doubt?
I had no clue AJ was even in that pic until my friend pointed it out
Pretty sure he is the one true untouchable, and if he wanted the manager job it would probably be his. Doesn’t seem like he wants to step up there yet.
Come on now! Niebla is from the imperial valley. He’ll be licking AJs boots forever. Anything to stay close to family.
Hell yeah! After the amazing pitching we enjoyed last year (despite the injuries), Niebla looks to be getting some attention for improvements. ❤️
Love what Niebla has done. Guys like Waldron, Avila, Barlow, Lugo, Wacha, etc. have all performed better than expected. Heck, put Snell on that lost too. Hader came to the Padres looking off and a month later he was straightened out.
If only our hitting would go the same way. Seems like everyone comes here and under performs after the first month.
I’m excited to see what Niebla will do with Waldron and Avila, and then Snelling.

Our pitching in the long run is going to be okay
