Swordsman’s gonna be a Padres fan now

No need.  Sword is his limo driver.

So who’s starting the Nevin or Melvin poll on their site?

[Stradling]

Good for him.  He won’t be the guy that gets the job but he might get a job on their staff. 

[Lazorko Saves]

Does Swordsman have a full NTC?  Presumably will waive it anyway.

Do we get a compensation pick from PadresWin?  Ah wait, no, we don't, we didn't make a qualifying offer.

I have nothing bad to say about Nevin. His exit was about as classy as could be.

Hope nothing but the best for him.

You guys better hope that Nevin doesn't land the Padres job.

@Swordsman78 will be insufferable if that happens.

And now imagine that Nevin is hired as the Manager and Ohtani signs with the Padres.....

Personally, I don't care if either/both of those things happen. I think the Angels aren't likely to sign Ohtani, so I don't really care where he ends up if it's not here. 

And as for Nevin, I don't have a strong opinion on him one way or the other.  He's just sorta there and didn't make much of an impression on me. I've just always thought it was amusing that Swordsman78 was almost singularly focused on him.

Interesting facts...

The movie "The Blind Swordsman" was made in 1978.

The movie "The Wu Tang Swordsman" was also made in 1978.

The TV Series "The Romantic Swordsman" was a 1978 TV series.

Hmm.

Angels loss would be big gain for Padres. In article any mention of Rodney Linares as a candidate?

It's not electronic, it's printed on paper only, shows up in your mailbox once a month.

No that was for Angel job or was it for any job?
