Of course. we’re just spit-balling here, but it’s always fun to dream!  If the 2015 off-season has taught us anything, it’s never say never when it comes to A.J. Preller. Juggling contracts and making unlikely trades for the Padres, never in my life did I think he’d have a guy like Preller.

Do you see the Padres making another big move to upgrade at shortstop?  Or, is sticking with Alexi Amarista and Clint Barmes the best option?
