Discuss the Padres, Chargers or Aztecs with U-T sports writer Tim Sullivan
 
10:57
Tim Sullivan -  Good morning. I'm here for an hour to provide insight, analysis and lame jokes about the sports scene. If you have questions or comments about the Padres' sale, about the NFL rule changes, about the Aztecs' NIT progress or most anything else, I'm here to attempt answers.

No ice skating questions, please. My ignorance is already obvious, no need in underscoring it.
10:59
Tim Sullivan -  That should be dramatic improvement.

[Comment From new Pads fan]
Do you think Shawn Hill is going to start with the Padres, or go down to AAA? Washington fans seem to have thought highly of him. Would he be a solid pitcher in the rotation (if healthy)?
11:00
Tim Sullivan -  I could attempt an answer, but I haven't seen him. At this point, the Padres' rotation amounts to Peavy and Young and three days of dung.
11:02
Tim Sullivan -  Question: How do you know if you have animal magnetism?
Answer: Your dog sticks to the refrigerator.
11:04
Tim Sullivan -  Regarding Shawn Hill, it's hard to get excited about a 27-year-old pitcher with a 7-15 won-loss record and a career 4.93 earned run average.
Sandy Koufax started slow, but I don't think Hill is the second coming of Koufax.

Tim Sullivan -  Pretty quiet here. Is anyone out there, or is it time to take a nap?

[Comment From justin]
Who do you think the padres will use as bench players?
11:11
Tim Sullivan -  The backup catcher will be Henry Blanco, though I could see him winning the job outright if Nick Hundley struggles. Edgar Gonzalez and Everth Cabrera are the reserve infielders. Assuming they keep Cliff Floyd for late-inning pinch hitting, I would guess you'd use a four-man outfield rotation with Gerut, Giles, Hairston and Headley. A lot will depend on whether the Padres keep 11 pitchers or 12.

[Comment From Jack]
Any trades for pitchers? Headley or Kouz?
