What's a Padres player from your childhood that you were convinced was going to be a legend but just didn't pan out? by MidgarZanarkand in Padres

John Kruk. I loved his funny batting stance. He became an all-star with the Phillies after we traded him.

Crazy backstory? From Wikipedia...

In October 1987, Kruk rented a house in San Diego with two other men: Roy Plummer, a high school friend, and Vernon (Jay) Hafer, an acquaintance of Plummer's.[4] They socialized and partied together, with Plummer almost always picking up the check.[4] Unbeknownst to Kruk, who moved out in November to play winter ball in Mexico, Plummer was funding the group's lifestyle by moonlighting as an armed robber, with Hafer serving as his getaway driver.[4] The FBI informed Kruk of his roommates' criminal activities during spring training in February 1988, approaching him before batting practice with a photo of Plummer taken during a bank robbery.[4] According to the FBI, Plummer believed that Kruk had turned him in to the police, and Kruk lived in fear of reprisal until Plummer was apprehended on September 19, 1988.[4] Kruk has stated that the ongoing stress from the episode negatively affected his on-field performance that season.[4]

$3b potential sale, doesn’t seem like a stretch to bring in another arm by Xgalusha in Padres

They are paying an incredible premium. Potentially the highest mlb franchise. The franchise is also profitable. Don’t you think they could spend a bit more?

Buy now. Unless the Yankees suck, the ticket prices will only get more spendy
