Well, I guess when you spend a bunch of time rounding up armloads of players in the hopes that enough of them will pan out for your Major League roster while the rest kind of digs your farm out of the basement of history, you are bound to drop one or two. It happens.
We lost one such guy, Jhoulys Chacin, over the weekend. The Padres signed him, promising that he can try to be a starting pitcher again. Sure, since they no longer have any of their own they can say that now. But later? No way.
