The 2014 San Diego Padres outfield was patched together daily by Bud Black with pretty mixed results. The most consistent player was Oakland import Seth Smith, with Will Venable failing to live up to 2013 expectations, Cameron Maybin played a few games around his amphetamine suspension with Chris Denorfia and Carlos Quentin every once in a while manning right field. It was this group that A.J. Preller took to task over his first off-season as General Manager.
