Padres pondering now and later

MLB Trade Rumors says the Padres' winning percentage should dictate that they're sellers rather than buyers this year. They can't seem to figure that out. But the Padres have a track record for hemming and hawing before pulling the trigger on a big decision.

After dragging their feet for more than a third of this season the Padres did decide that prospect Chase Headley should be up in the Majors. Much of Headley's situation likely dealth with his future free agency status, but with the job the rookie is doing right now things seem to be working out. Hopefully for their sake they realize MLBTR is right in this case and then once again take their time to come to that conclusion. With holes in the outfield and underachievers at catcher and shortstop the Padres need to look to the future, because there's no way it is happening this year.
