So hopefully I can help and 31 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: support and aid our organization in that endeavor. 32 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: Buddy, it's a very small fraternity of managers who were 33 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 4: former big league pitchers. Of course, you're a central figure 34 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: in that fraternity. Craig Stamon is a new member. Yeap, 35 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 4: What advice or words of wisdom would you have for 36 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 4: Craig that are maybe specific to the picture of making 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: the transition to managing. 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: Well, I've been asked out a lot, you know, even 39 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: going back to my days when I transitioned from Anaheim 40 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: to San Diego as from pitching coach to manager. And 41 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: I spoke with Craig a couple of weeks ago, and 42 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: you know, I basically told them. Even hear this before 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: from other people offering advice to to leaders, be yourself. 44 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I think you have to be as genuine 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: and as authentic as possible. Major league players, you know, 46 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 3: have a knack to sniff out somebody who's not real. 47 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: And from everything I've been told about Craig, and even 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: in our conversation, I can tell that this guy's a 49 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: gym as well. Respect he's well liked. And if he 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: just goes out there and be and be Craig Stammon, 51 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: He's gonna be fine because I think he possesses the 52 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 3: leadership qualities. He possesses what it takes, you know, to 53 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: to lead a team. And I think that's been you know, 54 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: that's been validated. I think the last couple of years 55 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: that you know, he's come off the field and even 56 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: later in his career as a player, you know all 57 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: the things that I've heard, So again, he's gonna in 58 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: this day and age. You know, there's a there's a 59 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: big coaching staff. Coaching staff has coaching staff enlargement has 60 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: been real. He's got great coaches around him. He's going 61 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: to use them. I've told him to take advantage of 62 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: those guys. He's definitely going to relate to pitchers. Half 63 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: the team are pitchers, thirteen out of twenty six are 64 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: are our pitchers. But you know, his relaylationship with the 65 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: other thirteen guys I think will be solid because you know, 66 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: he was a player, and I think leadership, you know, 67 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: doesn't really reflect what position you played as a major 68 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: league it reflects what type of person you are in 69 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: that clubhouse. 70 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: All that being said, though, what's the biggest challenge he 71 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: is going to have? Not just I mean first not 72 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: just the first time manager, a first time coach in 73 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: major baseball. 74 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: You know, I think with with Craig, I think the 75 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: newness of all this will be the challenge. I mean, 76 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: every day there'll be something new for him to you know, 77 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: to handle. So uh but you know, for him, he's 78 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: been you know, in a role with the Padres where 79 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 3: he's been able to observe, you know, a lot of 80 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: different things from his perspective, the front office situation, field personnel, 81 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 3: interacting with players and and Craig's very astute and observant. 82 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 3: So he's taken this all in the last three or 83 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: four years since his retirement. Uh, but you still don't 84 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: know until you experience it. Uh, you know what it 85 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: takes to go through it, but you know it's a 86 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 3: it's a full day. I mean there's you know, there's 87 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: a you know, responsibility really from the time you wake up, 88 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 3: you know, coming from a lot of different angles, whether 89 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: front office, whether it could be ownership, whether it could 90 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: be the media, whether it could be the coaching staff, 91 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: whether it could be the players. You know, a lot 92 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 3: of different forces upon you. But uh, you've got to 93 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: be you got to be ready for it, right, You 94 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 3: got to be ready for anything. And so I think 95 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 3: the you know, the game of adjustments for a first 96 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 3: time managers is probably going to be as big as 97 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 3: challenge and be able to handle that tannel that on 98 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: a daily basis. 99 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: But you are the senior advisor to baseball ops. What 100 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: exactly does that job in tell and how do you 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: best describe how your relationship with AJ Proler has evolved 102 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,239 Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen. 103 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: Well, I'll start with the relationship first. You know, I 104 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: got to know a j right when he came on 105 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 3: board in the in the early fall of twenty fourteen. 106 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: So the relationship started then. And you know, again the 107 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: first time general manager, he had a lot going on. 108 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: You know, I was managing the team, but he had 109 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: to get his feet on the ground first. So and 110 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: he had a you know, a front office to assemble. 111 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 3: He had to meet a ton of people. You know, 112 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: that is a you know, a general manager or president 113 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: of baseball operations. That's a huge job. So you know, 114 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 3: we obviously communicated, were in contact because that's the nature 115 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 3: of his position in my position, so you know, everything 116 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: was fine. And then when I got let go in May, 117 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: you know, things obviously changed for both of us. He 118 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 3: was still you know, coordinating everything he needed to do 119 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: as a as a general manager and in building up 120 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: the franchise. And then I moved on to Anaheim and 121 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: moved on to Colorado. But in the in the years 122 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: it followed, uh you know, we would our past would 123 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: cross whether it was at Petco or cors Field or 124 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: in the winter time, and the relationship was always very 125 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 3: professional and cordial. And and getting to know him like 126 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: I did early on, uh you know, I uh, you know, 127 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 3: I really respected and admired his work, ethic, his passion 128 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: for baseball, how much he loved it, how much he 129 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: loved talking players, how much he loved scouting. I mean 130 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: that was evident you know in the you know, in 131 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: the months that we were together. And then you know, 132 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: I was doing my thing in Colorado, he was doing 133 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: his thing here. I mean we were just you know, 134 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: two you know, two baseball guys in a in a 135 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: in an industry that is, you know, in a lot 136 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: of ways, a small fraternity of men and women. So 137 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: with as it unfolded over the last few months, you know, 138 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: talking baseball again and in the possibility of a comeback, 139 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 3: it was very natural. Are are our conversations, you know, 140 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: because we both share you know, common likes. We like 141 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: to win, we like to watch players, we like to 142 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 3: help players, and and ultimately you know, trying to get 143 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: this organization into the playoffs again and advance to the 144 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: World Series and ultimately win one. I mean that's that's 145 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 3: a common goal. But and for me to help that, 146 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: the role sort of entails, you know, sort of multifaceted things, right. 147 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: I think, you know, to dive into the minor league 148 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 3: system first, to you know, to see where the talent 149 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: is of our you know, one hundred and sixty five 150 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: minor league players, so all be into our system. I'll 151 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: be in spring training, you know, both watching the big 152 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: league team, but also on the lower fields, you know, 153 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: watching watching our group of young players and what we 154 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 3: have there, uh, you know, evaluating our major league team, 155 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: helping Craig and his staff and talking to players and uh, 156 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 3: you know, lending my support there. And as it relates 157 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: to the draft, there's probably a component there of watching 158 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: some amateur players along the way and helping our scouting 159 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: department if needed, you know, to watch high school players, 160 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: junior college players, college players as it relates to the draft. 161 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 3: So multi pronged probably job description, but it's all. It 162 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 3: all centers around the players and and what I can 163 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 3: do to to help Aj and his group, to help 164 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: player development and to help the scouting department. 165 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 4: But I want to circle back to your answer to 166 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 4: the previous question. We talked about Craig Staman and there's 167 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: going to be a learning curve. That's always true whenever 168 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 4: someone moves into position, but especially given that he has 169 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: never coached or managed at any professional level of baseball before. 170 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 4: How long of a learning curve from your experience will 171 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 4: it be. Do you expect to be signed that I'll 172 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: take months before he's kind of where he needs to be. 173 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 4: What what's the timeline you expect? 174 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: Well, you know that that depends I think, uh, And 175 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: I'll go back to even though this is a new 176 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 3: a new role for him, a new position and a 177 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: and a new obviously big responsibility. Your days as a 178 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 3: player sort of sets you up for this. Uh. I. 179 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: I can only suspect that Craig as he grew in 180 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 3: his career as a as a Washington National and a 181 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: San Diego Padre, he was well respected in the clubhouse 182 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: as a teammate. And there's a there's a natural leadership 183 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 3: quality to two guys who get this position. Uh. And 184 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: it's it's evident by those people around you, those people 185 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 3: who watch you, and those people who end up making 186 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 3: decisions on these on these hires. So I think Craig 187 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 3: had it naturally to, you know, to maybe be in 188 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: this role. And it started as a player. And I 189 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 3: think as he got older and he got into his 190 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 3: career and especially here in San Diego as a as 191 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 3: a pitcher with service time and into his and pitching 192 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 3: into his late thirties and players looking up to him 193 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: as you know, a mentor, it all started there, so uh. 194 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: And then transitioning to outside of being a player into 195 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: his role you know, with with padres, with AJ, with 196 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: player development and scouting. He learned a lot, but it 197 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 3: goes back to the natural ability of who he is 198 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 3: as a person, and uh, you know, some guys adapt 199 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: awful quick. Some guys it takes a little longer. I'm 200 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 3: not sure the timeline for Craig. I mean, all, you know, 201 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 3: all be you know, hopefully uh you know, be a 202 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: great sounding board for him to answer some questions. But uh, 203 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: there's too many people that I've spoken to who feel, 204 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 3: you know, this is a really good fit for him 205 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: in this position. So you know, time will tell. I know, 206 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: he's surrounded by some great coaches on the on the 207 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: major league staff. He's got the support of the front office. 208 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: They know him, They uh you know, vetted the process 209 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 3: to him be the manager. So I'm sure they feel 210 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: good about it. Uh. And now it's a it's a 211 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 3: really it's a collective thing, you know. Obviously he's got 212 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 3: to make you know, hard decisions in game pitching, moves, lineups, 213 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 3: but that will all be collaborated with the coaches. But again, 214 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 3: I think his uh you know, his natural ability to 215 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 3: uh you know, to lead into to be the person 216 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 3: that he is. Will we'll take forefront and all this, but. 217 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: Where former players Will Myers is also rejoined the Padres 218 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: as special assignment coach in player development. Is there anybody 219 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: else coming back from your twenty fifteen team as well 220 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,479 Speaker 1: as Matt Kemp coming back to help in media relations? 221 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 3: Not that I'm aware of. You know, I just became 222 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 3: of Will just a few days ago, and I again, 223 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: I think, you know, just I haven't spoken with Will, 224 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: but you know, reading some of his quotes over the 225 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 3: last twenty four hours, it seems as though, you know, 226 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 3: he's excited to contribute and to and to work with players. 227 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: I think as a you know, as a as a 228 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: ball player, you you feel comfortable around players if you 229 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: have that ability. I think he does have that. You know. 230 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 3: I made a comment about some time in the in 231 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 3: the batting cage with some young players not known, not 232 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: knowing whether he would enjoy it, but I guess he did, 233 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: and it gave him some some fuel to, you know, 234 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: express an interest in coming back and helping. So, uh, 235 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 3: we'll see. But you know, uh, you know, Will's affable. Uh, 236 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: he's he's communicative. Uh, he likes to talk baseball and 237 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 3: there's a knowledge base there of hit of hitting. So 238 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: we'll see. But I'm I'm I'm excited to see Will 239 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 3: you know, along with you know, the list of other guys, 240 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: uh you know who uh you know who are are 241 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: helping the front office and player development, right Trevor, Uh 242 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: you know Trevor's brother, Glenn Hoffman, Mark Loretta, A. J Ellis, 243 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 3: Alan Craig, Scott Service. I mean there's a you know, 244 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: a wealth of experienced baseball guys that are here, are 245 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: here to help the players and here here to help 246 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: the organization. And uh, you know, the growth never stops. 247 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: It's always a process of trying to get better. And 248 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: I think the group that Aj is surrounded himself with 249 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: is a really really good group. 250 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 4: Budd you obviously were a central figure in this organization 251 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 4: from twenty thousand and seven un till twenty fifteen, eventually 252 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 4: moved over to become the Rockies manager. So seeing them 253 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 4: from the outside versus the inside, what was your impression 254 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 4: of this team, of this organization from the opposing dugout 255 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 4: during your time as the Rockies manager. 256 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 3: Well, you know, you saw a building, That's the thing 257 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 3: that you know. I think we all saw all across baseball, 258 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 3: right from all of us in the industry, and I 259 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: was able to see it a little bit up closer. Right, 260 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 3: because being in the same division and even living here 261 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 3: in San Diego in the off season, you know, momentum 262 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: started and it just hasn't stopped. And that's you know, 263 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 3: a tribute to AJ and his staff and the new 264 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 3: ownership group that came in right around twenty fourteen when 265 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: I was when I was leaving that you know, it 266 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 3: just kept building and it was just a force that 267 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: you know, was in a way relentless, right. I mean, 268 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: that's that's how AG operates from you know, those first 269 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: slew of trades and the winner of twenty fourteen with 270 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: with Kemp and Norris and Shields and Myers and Kimberl 271 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: and Upton Man. I mean, wow, right right off the bat, 272 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 3: and then it just hasn't stopped, you know, from Hosmer 273 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: to Machado and others along the way, and his resourceful 274 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 3: resourcefulness out of the draft to really pick well, a 275 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: tribute to his scouts on the amateur side and the 276 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: pro side to acquire players through the draft and through 277 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: trades and then as needed, making evaluation of those players 278 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: and trading them off for you know, Sodo and Tanner, 279 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 3: Spot and others. I mean, it's just it's you know, 280 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: it's it's a he's been a force and you can 281 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: see a building. And I think it's been noticed nationwide 282 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: across the industry of baseball that the Padres are here, 283 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: They're for real, They're not And you know, a lot 284 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 3: of credit goes to, you know, the ownership backing AJ 285 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 3: and and AJ being who he is to just to 286 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: get after it and and it was all recognized by 287 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: all of us in the industry. 288 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: One thing about the San Diego Padres era under a J. Puller, 289 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: it is certainly never boring. Buddy Black, it is so. 290 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 2: Good to see you. I can't want to see you. 291 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: Whether it's gonna be at fan Festa Pecka Park, perhaps 292 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: will be in a San Diego Stea game at Via 293 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: House Arena, maybe it'll be in spring training. 294 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: But I am welcome back to San Diego. Really never left. 295 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you guys. It's good to be back. It's 296 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 3: good to be uh back with familiar faces who you know, 297 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: love the Padres, who care you know. It's it's exciting 298 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: for me where I am and in my career and 299 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: you know, hopefully I can like I said eight and 300 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 3: help and support us get to where we want to go. 301 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: All right, Well, good stuff with Buddy Black. Great catching 302 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: up with him. He is now the senior advisor to 303 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: Baseball OPS. 304 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: I had to. 305 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: Stop myself Kyle about twenty five times from excuse me 306 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: from referring to him as the Podres manager. I know, 307 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: I will slip up during the regular season, so we'll see. 308 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: By the way, the one question I wish I had 309 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: been to ask him, did this did the conversation, the 310 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: dialogue with Josh Stein and aj Peler happen after Mike 311 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: Schultzs resignation or before? 312 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 2: I'm just curious. Yeah. 313 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: Look, I mean it's saying where you know, we've seen 314 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 4: some things and just conversations. Yeah, it was something that 315 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 4: kind of came about after Buddy, you know, things ended 316 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 4: with the Rockies. There are some I want to call 317 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 4: him rumors, but there was some thought, you know, even 318 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: toward the end of the regular season that you know, 319 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 4: the Podres could bring him back in some sort of 320 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 4: advisory capacity. So it did predate Mike Show a little bit. 321 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 4: But look, Buddy Black's a great baseball mind. I think 322 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 4: a lot of people look at some of the overall 323 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 4: records and make judgments, but it's not correct. I mean, 324 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 4: he was operating with the Potters team that had payrolls 325 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 4: in the forty million dollar range at times. Then he 326 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 4: went to the Rockies, an organization that we all know 327 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 4: about their issues, and even despite that, he was nationally 328 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 4: Manager of the Year at the Podres and twenty ten 329 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 4: had a great season there, took the Rockies to back 330 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: to back postseasons. So he's one of the most respected 331 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 4: individuals in the game, both for his baseball knowledge and 332 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: just who he is as a person. Having him back 333 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 4: in the Potterys organization is certainly going to be a boost, a. 334 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: Huge boon for Craig Stammon. 335 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: And speaking of Craig Stanman, earlier this week, the guys 336 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: from foul Territory TV had Craig Stanmon on the show 337 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: and he talked about a variety of topics. Is there 338 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: anything that jumped out at you in particular, because I 339 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: know it. 340 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: Did for me. 341 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, Craig Stamon definitely hit on a few topics that 342 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 4: were notable for me. First and foremost, he talked about 343 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 4: he's still in contact with Mike Shilt and we've talked 344 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 4: about the style of play, the standard Mike Shilt said, 345 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 4: and how that needs to be continued, and Craig Stammon 346 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 4: really established that, yes, he intends to do that. That 347 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 4: is very much something on his mind, which I think 348 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 4: is really important. He talked about Joe Musgrove not being 349 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 4: on any sort of coming off of Tommy John surgery, 350 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 4: which I thought was interesting and again, we'll see how 351 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 4: that goes as well. 352 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 3: And at this. 353 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: Point in his career, at this point in his career, 354 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: there wasn't going to be a limit on Musgrove. 355 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and understandably too, because you have to keep in 356 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 4: mind Joe Musgrove has had extra rehab time a lot 357 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 4: of times with Tommy John surgeries. They say twelve to 358 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 4: eighteen months, actually thirteen to seventeen, but just with the 359 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 4: timing of it and going into the off season, Joe 360 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 4: Musgrove is going to be on the higher end of 361 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 4: recovery time. So hopefully that makes a difference and just 362 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 4: allows him to last a little bit longer. And he 363 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 4: talked a little bit about Luisa Rise and just how 364 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 4: valuable he is and what a valuable member of the 365 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 4: Potters he was. Look, we've talked about on the show 366 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 4: and lots of places talk about Luisa Rise is very, 367 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 4: very very divisive. At the end of the day, he 368 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 4: can hit. The hardest thing to do in Major League 369 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 4: Baseball today is make consistent contact, and he does that 370 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 4: better than anyone else in baseball. I always think it's 371 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 4: funny people post like the stat cast, you know, green 372 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 4: and red lines and showing him bottom of this, that 373 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 4: and the other thing. It's like, yeah, but he's one 374 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: hundredth percentile in the most important So we've talked about 375 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 4: he doesn't fit the Potters and their needs. He will 376 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 4: fit a lot of teams. The Angel should have signed 377 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 4: them already. I mean they need contact in the worst way. 378 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 4: And not to mention someone who actually can teach their 379 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 4: guys how to make contact, which Luisa Rys does. Staman 380 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 4: also talks about the impact Rise had on other guys. 381 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 4: So that was all out to me. What about you. 382 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: He's a great positive influence in that clipbhouse. 383 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, I saw from his ig that 384 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: he's working out with Nelson Cruz get and getting some work. 385 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: The Rise thing was good, I know. 386 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, just to set that up, I 387 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: don't think that he wasn't asked do you want him back? 388 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: Necessarily? 389 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: You know, he was asking, you know, what's the scouting 390 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: report on Luisa Rise? What does he bring to a team. 391 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: So I know Padrey Fans's like, oh no, no, you can't 392 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: have this guy back. We need some slug in for 393 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: his base. 394 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: That was interesting, though. 395 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: The thing that seemed to really let people on fire 396 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: was the idea that Craig Stammond's been in regular contact 397 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: with Mike Schultz. And this is what I'll say about that. 398 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: Number One, it's logical. He's not asking him to set 399 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: his lineup. He's not asking him, you know, how to 400 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: deal with the coaching staff. He's asking for his vice 401 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: the first time manager, you know, how do you prepare 402 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: for spring training? What are the things that you need 403 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: to know? And whether you like Mike Schuld or you 404 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: did not, or you're concerned about the rumors about you know, 405 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: his relationships with the coaching staff and and previous. 406 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 2: For James, he he won. 407 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: He won with the Padres playoffs and back to back years, right, 408 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: And the important thing is the players bought into him. 409 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: He was very well liked inside that locker room by 410 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: the players and he knew had to Forgeoe's relationships. So 411 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: good on Craig Stammon. 412 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 4: Were people who on Earth is upset about this. This 413 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 4: is very standard and he should be doing that talk. 414 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 2: You've been on social media? Have you heard of this 415 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: thing called twitter or ax or whatever it's called. 416 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's logical and what kind of 417 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: a woman think, Kyle? For what it tells me though 418 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: about Craig Stalmmon is the guy wants to learn everything. 419 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: He doesn't have a huge ego where you know what 420 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: it's going to be about me, I'm leaving the ship now, 421 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: it's my way. He is someone who's going to be 422 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: a sponge and taken as much information as he possibly 423 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: we can to give the Padre's just you know, the 424 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: biggest edge and himself. 425 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 4: Sorry everyone, this is standard. New manager comes in, there's 426 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 4: a very tight fraternity within the managerial ranks. This happens everywhere. 427 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: This is I am stunned. People got upset over this. 428 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 4: New manager comes in, talks to old manager to just hey, 429 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 4: pick his brain on you know, certain players, certain relationships, 430 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 4: and especially a first time manager like Craig Stamon and 431 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 4: a first time coach like Craig Stammon again has never 432 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 4: coached or manage at any level of baseball, reaching out 433 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: to Mike Schilt, who is one of the most respected 434 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: and experienced baseball men in the industry right now, has 435 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 4: held every role imaginable, climbed from rookie ball coaching staffs 436 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 4: to a major league manager. That is a tremendous, tremendous 437 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 4: resource for information. Anyone who's upset about this, I'm sorry, 438 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: Like this is this is so standard, and it's exactly 439 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 4: what Craig Stamond should do, and the fact he is 440 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 4: doing it a shouldn't be surprising and b is a 441 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 4: really really, really good thing. If you're upset about this, 442 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 4: you need to find other things in life to be 443 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 4: upset about, because this is so similar. It's not one 444 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 4: of them. 445 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: The only thing I don't want Stammon asking Shult about 446 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: is how to ask how to answer a question when 447 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: your line up a second guest, or you talk about 448 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: someone going into a slop. That's it, that's it, just 449 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: it's all stuff great, the post game, the pre game, 450 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: Craig Stalmon, go ahead and do your thing. 451 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 4: And there's so many there's so many things that people 452 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 4: don't think about. That's just kind of you know, routine. Hey, 453 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 4: when in the day should I do this? What's the 454 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 4: right time to do this. These are things that go 455 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 4: a long way into having a functioning coach player relationship. 456 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 4: That are pretty mundane, but if you've never done it before, 457 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 4: you really need to understand how to do it, at 458 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 4: least to the level expected of a big league manager. 459 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 4: So again, this is a good thing. I'm shocked and 460 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 4: just maybe I shouldn't be, because Twitter being what it is, 461 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 4: I still call it Twitter. But yeah, I thought it 462 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: was a really, really insightful interview. I encourage everyone to 463 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 4: check it out on foul Territory and another Big Potter's interview. 464 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 4: Mason Miller joined the show as well. He had some 465 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: interesting things to say, particularly about his decision to remain 466 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 4: a reliever and Marty. We talked about this, that's where 467 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 4: he's best, that's where he's comfortable, and that's what he's 468 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 4: going to do in twenty twenty six. I thought it 469 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: was interesting. He noted he's not closing the door for 470 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 4: future years, which is saying Stammon did as well, but 471 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, this is the best role for 472 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 4: him for the Padres and that's what they're going to 473 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: roll with. 474 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: It was good stuff you and I would encourage you 475 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: to go back and find the entire interview with Mason Miller, 476 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: who also talked about being teammates with Clayton Kershaw and 477 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: the WBC. He is changing his walk up music. I 478 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: think he's narrowed it down to two songs. It's not 479 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: going to be nickelback that was so so so so 480 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: last year. Actually it's actually longer than that. 481 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: And what else. Oh, in one important part he thought 482 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: about he talked about the edge. 483 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: He thinks that the pictures are going to have having 484 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: Craig Stanmon as a manager. 485 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 2: So I encourage you find that entire interview on Foul 486 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: Tara Tory TV. 487 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: Do not forget, by the way, Padres fans to like 488 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: and subscribe to this show.
