The Padres are a joke. They have had innumerable chances - with what was recently the top farm system in MLB, hefty free agent spending, and trades - to solidify themselves as a threat in the NL over the last three seasons and have yet to do so. They lose 3/4 to the Dodgers, drop 2 at home to the Mariners, and then can't win a 4-game series against a mediocre Giants team at home either.

The Dodgers, Braves, and Mets are the only contenders in the NL. Everyone else is just pretending. 

It would be shocking to see Rodon or Pedersen signing an extension with the Giants this season.
