Christmas List!

Lets see, this is my Christmas list for the Padres!

• Trade Orlando Hudson to COL for Huston Street.
• Trade Chase Headley to OAK for Andrew Bailey
• Trade Clayton Richard and Jason Bartlett to WAS for Ian Desmond
• Trade Simon Castro to CHW for Carlos Quentin
• Sign Kelly Johnson to a 1 year deal with a club option
• Make some really good minor league signings*

*This has been started, they signed LHP Alex Hinshaw(You know what happened to the last former Giants prospect we signed to a minor league deal) and RHP Matt Palmer.
