What: Padres vs Rockies
When: 7:00 PM, Friday April 12, 2013
Where: Petco Park, Boulevard San Diego
Description: Overlooked in the San Diego Padres’ fourth-place finish this past season was their impressive second half. The team went 42-33 after the All-Star break and improved by five wins from 2011.Not only are things trending upward on the field, the franchise’s new ownership group has expressed a willingness to increase the payroll in hopes of fielding a winner. It already has shown a commitment to manager Bud Black, exercising his 2014 and 2015 options.
The Padres are on the upswing, but third place likely will be their ceiling in the NL West. They went 7-11 against the Los Angeles Dodgers and 6-12 against the San Francisco Giantsthis past season, so there clearly is a talent gap that must be bridged.
