Despite Gonzalez's contributions, San Diego finished in the bottom half of the NL in scoring in all five seasons, finishing as high as ninth in 2007 but plummeting to the bottom in the subsequent two seasons. The Padres won the NL West in Gonzalez's first season in San Diego, finished well out of the money in two other years, and missed the playoffs by one excruciating game in the other two seasons. With one of those near-misses fresh in mind, the organization made the difficult decision to trade Gonzalez, a San Diego native in the final year of his contract. The Red Sox long had been viewed as natural trading partners because so many Boston expatriates populate the San Diego front office, from general manager Jed Hoyer to assistant GM Jason McLeod to vice president of baseball operations Josh Byrnes. The two sides ultimately consummated a deal in December that sent Gonzalez to Boston for righthander Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, center fielder Reymond Fuentes and veteran Eric Patterson. Kelly and Rizzo finished 2010 in Double-A and ranked as Boston's best pitching and hitting prospect at the time of the trade. McLeod drafted those two as well as Fuentes in his former role as Red Sox scouting director, taking Kelly and Fuentes with first-round picks in 2008 and '09. The Padres are seeking to put together enough offense to back up their consistently good pitching, which carried them to the top of the NL West for the better part of 2010. San Diego roared to a 76-49 start and held a 6 1/2-game division lead on Aug. 25. The Padres then lost 10 games in a row, scoring a grand total of 23 runs, to allow the Giants back into the race. San Francisco moved into first place on Sept. 10 and went on to win the division and the World Series. San Diego's Bud Black still earned NL manager of the year honors because his team's performance defied all reasonable expectations. Led by 22-year-old Mat Latos and a stout bullpen, the pitching staff paced the major leagues with 3.59 runs allowed per game. In an effort to find some offense, San Digeo used its pitching excess to execute four trades in 2010. At the trade deadline, the Padres swapped Nick Greenwood to the Cardinals and Corey Kluber to the Indians in a three-team deal that netted Ryan Ludwick, and sent Wynn Pelzer to the Orioles for Miguel Tejada. In the offseason they parted with five relievers, acquiring Cameron Maybin from the Marlins (for Edward Mujica and Ryan Webb), then getting Jason Bartlett from the Rays (for Brandon Gomes, Cesar Ramos, Adam Russell and second-base prospect Cole Figueroa). The Padres had to look outside the organization for offense because their farm system hasn't been up to the task. San Diego used 10 first-round or supplemental first-round picks on position players from 2006-09, and not one projects as a surefire big league regular. Outfielder Donavan Tate, the No. 3 overall pick in 2009, has struggled to stay healthy since signing for a club-record $6.25 million. --
