It begins

While Headley never crossed the plate, that’s hardly the story here.

   I’m not sure I’m ready to give up on Khalil at this point. Considering his ability to hit in the past, the fact that we won’t get anything for him now, and it’s not like the Padres are contenders this year.

   Lets give him a chance to rebuild his value before a trade.

   I wouldn’t say I’m ready to give up on Khalil, but I am ready to bring in another shortstop for the first time in Khalil’s stay.
