My goodness, are the Padres ‘players’ or what!  An instant outfield: Matt Kemp, J. Upton, Wil Myers! 

A big upgrade at catcher in Norris! 

And a steal:  Wil Middlebrooks!  Middlebrooks needed desperately to get away from the Boston media, the Boston fans, and the Green Monster.  In him, a star will be born in San Diego.[;)]

Most likely, there will be at least two future ‘stars’ among the 10 prospects they ‘paid’ for this haul, but the lowly, irrelevant Padres have been transformed into an instant contender.
