The San Diego Padres start May baseball by welcoming in a familiar face, White Sox manager Will Venable. 

Darren Smith, Marty Caswell, and Heath Bell discuss the intangibles that Venable displayed when he played for the Padres and why he appears to be an up and manager on the rise in Major League Baseball. Heath describes the kind of leadership and thirst for learning while they were teammates and how he showed he was a student of the game. 

Are the Padres good? Well their 19-11 record says they are, but for how much longer can the Padres offense be carried by their bench pieces? The trio dissect manager Craig Stammen's comments on Fernando Tatis being a hitter, not a home run hitter. 

Darren, Heath and Marty discuss the decisions the Padres face when Lucas Giolito and Griffin Canning are added. Is Matt Waldron the obvious choice and have Walker Buehler and German Marquez shown enough? 

Speaking of Giolito, who just threw another rehab start for the Lake Elsinore Storm, what perks do minor league players enjoy when a big-league player joins the team? Heath tells us about the spread players put on for minor league teams, and which young Padres he bought suits for. 

Marty and Darren then discuss the production that top prospect Ethan Salas is doing in double and ahem, what it does for his trade value.
