In August of 2014, the San Diego Padres hired former Texas Rangers Assistant GM A.J. Preller as their new General Manager. Preller had a difficult task taking the reins of a team that scored the fewest runs in baseball last season (535) in 2014 and has scored the third fewest over the past five years (3,062). While their home park, known as the best pitcher's park in all of baseball, has been partially responsible for their offensive woes, the roster construction was at fault as well. How did Preller respond? He went out and had one of the busiest offseasons in recent memory.
