The San Diego Padres will tip-off their season when they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Chavez Ravine. The two NL West foes come into this season with high expectations. With the Padres making the most noise due to a flurry of big name acquisitions.
On the mound today NL Cy Young winner and MVP Clayton Kershaw with get a chance to mow down the Padres revamped lineup. Kershaw had his share of success last season when he posted a 21-3 record with a 1.77 ERA. One thing he didn’t have to do, is face Matt Kemp.
Kemp was part of the blockbuster trade that sent him down the road to San Diego and now in his first game he gets to play his former team.
For the Padres James Shields will get the opening day start. He went 14-8 with a 3.21 ERA for the AL Champion Kansas Royals last season. He signed a four-year $75 million dollar deal with the Frias Faithful and will look to get some revenge in the NL West that robbed him of his first World Series.
With all the moves that were this offseason it’s safe to say that there’s only one thing on these teams minds this year. It’s win, and to win big.
The Dodgers have young prospect Joc Pederson in outfield, to go along with Yasel Puig and a combination of Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier. The Padres completed a deal yesterday that sent two of their outfielders packing in Carlos Quentin and Cameron Maybin. But have Kemp, Justin Upton, and Wil Myers to hold down the fort.
There are plenty of big names that will be featured in opening day for the these clubs. From Jimmy Rollins and Adrian Gonzalez to Derek Norris and Will Middlebrooks there is no lack of talent.
Baseball fans it’s been an exciting Winter and now it’s time for the party to get started!
