Kyle Blanks Demoted To AAA (oh and Maybin is back)
We barely had time to savor the win over the Dodgers and I only watched the video of Kyle Blanks's incredible catch three or four times before the Padres dropped the following newsbomb on...

Oft-injured outfielder Kyle Blanks has avoided arbitration with the San Diego Padres, agreeing to a one-year, $605k contract.
Blanks is hopeful he'll bounce back from season ending labrum surgery.
The Padres call up one of their top prospects and try to turn the season around.
Hey! The Astros need a designated hitter next season! Maybe Blanks could be that guy? It's silly to speculate, but if he doesn't produce this season for SD, I wouldn't be surprised if Luhnow and Co. go out and take a flier on him. He couldn't be worse than Brett Wallace, right?
It looked like Big Kyle Blanks won't be healthy enough this spring to show his stuff for the Padres in left field. Leaving us to wonder if Blanks will ever become the new Frank Howard.
I went to the game last night with Gaslamp Baller jodes0405, since my regular game companion Jonny Dub is out of the country. She was constantly trying to entertain me with crazy stories, songs...
Kyle Blanks is tearing it up in his most recent Major League stint. Is he worth adding in fantasy leagues, and will he be a centerpiece for the Padres in the future?
