The Padres better not look back, because someone could be gaining on them.
And that someone is none other than the Dodgers.
When Joe Torre becomes manager of the Dodgers, it could create a domino effect. Don’t be surprised if former Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez follows, which is just exactly what the Dodgers need.
If the Dodgers had a black hole last year (besides pitching injuries), it was third base. And A-Rod is only the best in the business at that position, which could make the Dodgers a contender in 2008.
Already, the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks have clearly surpassed the Padres. If the Dodgers sign A-Rod, the Padres could be staring fourth-place in the face next season.
The Padres already need a second baseman, (most likely) a center fielder if/when Mike Cameron leaves in free agency, and a right fielder. Brian Giles must move to left field where he has less ground to cover.
The post-World Series offseason has barely begun, yet the Padres already have some catching up to do.
The NL West is just becoming too strong for the Padres not to make major improvements this winter.

If Joe Torre and A Rod go to the Dodgers, they would defintely make a major improvement to them. I believe like you do that he is one of the best third baseman in baseball and he hits a ton. It would be a major bat to add to that young pool of talent in LA.
