San Diego Padres Power Rankings - 2012
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 16-26 | 30 | The Padres do lead the majors in one stat: most players on the disabled list (13). Tim Stauffer's return from the DL lasted only one start ... his elbow is barking again. The Padres also have played the fewest road games so far (14) and are now off on a 10-game road trip. -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 7 | 12-23 | 29 | Well, the Padres were consistent on offense with 3-3-2-3-2-2 runs scored in their .500 week. Slugging a majors-worst .328 as a team. -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 6 | 9-20 | 29 | Swept at home by the Marlins, the Padres are now 1-10 vs. lefty starters. Closer Huston Street goes to the DL with a strained lat and Cory Luebke could need Tommy John surgery. The Padres sit at 9-20, and by Thursday they'll have played 23 of their first 32 at home. Gulp! -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 5 | 7-16 | 29 | The Padres managed a 2-4 week despite scoring more than two runs only once against the Giants and Nationals. The NL's seventh-best team ERA (3.42) and opponent OPS (.675) keeps them from futility. -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 4 | 5-12 | 30 | After losing eight of nine, the Padres won the last two games of their series against the Phillies. San Diego's bats (.214 average, third worst in majors) next face the Nationals and their majors-leading 2.34 ERA and .202 opponent batting average at Petco Park. -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 3 | 2-8 | 30 | Padres fall to a majors-worst 2-8 after seemingly getting jobbed on "foul bunt" triple play in the ninth inning against the Dodgers on Sunday. Matt Kemp has feasted on Padres pitching so far this season (11-for-27, six homers and 15 RBIs in seven games). -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 2 | 1-3 | 29 | Chase Headley is 1-for-13 with six strikeouts, but that one hit was a grand slam to help clinch the Padres' first win of the season, after they amassed all of 12 hits in the first three games. -- Diane Firstman: Value Over Replacement Grit | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 26 | Edinson Volquez will make the Opening Day start for the Padres. He was the Reds' Opening Day starter last season. -- ESPN.com | |
