![]() SAN DIEGO, CA - Will Venable, outfielder and 2010 World Series hero, is on his way out of San Diego. The young outfielder is making his way up the California coast after the Padres completed a trade with the San Francisco Giants. In return, the Padres received San Francisco’s 3rd round rookie draft pick. After hitting only 2 home runs during the 2010 regular season, Venable stepped to the plate in Game 7 of the World Series with 2 outs, a man on, and his team down by 2 runs. In a moment fans will never forget, Venable smashed a Jonathan Papelbon fastball deep into the right field seats in Anaheim for a game-tying home run. “Will had the biggest at-bat in team history since I took over,” manager Tim Stoops commented. “Our backs were against the wall and Will came through. It’s tough to see him go.”

![]() SAN DIEGO, CA - With the 2011 season completed, the Padres began planning for the 2012 season by trading second baseman Orlando Hudson to the Baltimore Orioles for a 4th round rookie draft pick and relief pitcher Trevor Bell. Originally acquired for shortstop Adam Everett, Hudson had been a Padre since the 2004 season, having played more games at second base than any other Padre since 1995. He was an All-Star in 2004 and won 4 consecutive Gold Gloves from 2006-2009. “We wanted to get something for O-Dog while we still could. He’s not getting any younger,” manager Tim Stoops commented. |
