Good morning, Fast Ball Talks community!
As we dive deeper into spring training, the San Diego Padres are already facing some challenges, notably with pitcher Matt Waldron suffering a mild oblique strain. This raises some intriguing questions about the team's depth and strategy as we approach the start of the season.
How do you think the Padres should handle Waldron's injury? Should they rush him back, or is it wiser to take a cautious approach, especially with the long season ahead?
Additionally, with Waldron sidelined, the competition for the fifth starter spot is heating up. Stephen Kolek, Randy Vasquez, and Kyle Hart are all vying for that position. Who do you think has the edge, and why? Could this be an opportunity for one of the younger prospects to shine, or do you believe experience will win out in this case?
On a broader note, how do you feel about the Padres' overall depth heading into the 2025 season? Are they equipped to handle injuries and setbacks, or do you see potential weaknesses that could be exploited by their rivals?
Let’s hear your thoughts, predictions, and any bold takes you might have!
