No one is giving up on AJ Preller and his ability to surprise you. Year after year, the Padres President of Baseball Operations makes an awe-striking move that splits the fandom in half. Some love him and hail his unpredictable antics. Others would rather he proceeded with caution when building a postseason contender.
Either way you slice it, Preller is always good for brewing a conversation in the Padres' community. Besides signing Michael King to a reunion and acquiring Sung-Mun Song, not much else has been to get the Friars in a position to contend with the Dodgers in the NL West.
