Gwynn to the Padres

Call me a sentimental sap, but I like the Jody Gerut for Tony Gwynn Jr. trade that just went down. Baseball Prospectus 2009 says "He's fifth outfielder material" and "let's face it, if his name were Tony Jones, he'd hardly be worth a second look." Probably true, as his MLB numbers are underwhelming and he's already 26. But the Padres are in rebuilding mode, so give him a chance. From a bottom line perspective, he is also a cheap way to possible generate a little more fan interest.
