Change is good, but this isn't terribly interesting.

San Diego Padres: First base coach Davey Lopes and third base coach Rob Picciolo won't be back next season. The Padres will not renew the contracts of Lopes, Picciolo and advance scout Jeff Gardner.
Change is good, but this isn't terribly interesting.
Next GM?
From the Boston Globe:
David Forst, the former captain of the Harvard baseball team and current assistant GM with the Oakland A's, is said to be in line to become Sandy Alderson's first choice in San Diego if Kevin Towers leaves and goes to Arizona, a widely reported rumor.
We could certainly do worse.

Yep. When viewed in that light, and considering all the injuries the Padres had to deal with, a 5-game drop from 2004 and 2005 hardly seems alarming.
Also, with Alderson on board, you have to like the direction they're heading in.
The key is to get someone better than Towers ... Towers isn't bad ... we can & should be able to do better.
