Read this excerpt:
Remember when the Padres bragged about having perhaps the best starting pitching rotation in Major League Baseball?
Well, don’t look now, but …
Jake Peavy (4-2, 2.47) is not pitching like a Cy Young winner.
Chris Young (3-3, 3.94) has turned very average.
Greg Maddux (3-3, 3.60) will probably be gone to a contending team in July.
Randy Wolf (2-3, 5.16) has had a terrible May.
Aging Shawn Estes will make his first major-league start in more than two years tonight against the Chicago Cubs.
The starting pitchers were once thought to be the only strength among the Padres. Now, it looks as if the team does not have any strengths at all.
