Updated above^.

After the bench re-signings of 2 former Pads (Kapler & Carroll), the 25 man roster seems set even before pitchers and catchers report.

Padres off season moves.

The Padres sent packing a lot of good young talent in Billy Butler, Hunter Pence, Franklin Gutierrez, Jose Lopez, Bobby Jenks, Carlos Marmol, Mike Pelfrey and even vet Chipper Jones.

The team certainly did not get as much in return, at least in numbers of players, but the focus was pitching. Acquired was closer extraordinaire Francisco Rodriguez who replaces the inconsistent Jenks (albeit, consistent in '09 for Pads). Arguably, the biggest deal of the off-season was the addition of SP Yovanni Gallardo who steps right into the heart of the Pads rotation. Ironically, another fine starting pitcher was aquired, but was pushed to "6th" starter upon the Gallardo move, and that is LH Francisco Liriano.

The Pads did get some offense back. Jacoby Ellsbury's acquisition as leadoff man, allows Grady Sizemore to move to the #3 slot in the order. With the re-signing of former Pads reserves Endy Chavez, Gabe Kapler and Jamey Carroll, the bench defense is super strong along with the additions of Clint Barmes and Ryan Rohlinger.
