ORLANDO -- The Padres’ bullpen is their biggest strength right now -- and they’ve spent the first few weeks of their offseason adding to that strength.

While a solid percentage of picks in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft get at least some big league time the season following their selection, it’s not so easy to stick around for an entire year.

In a sport that is constantly changing and following new trends, we’ve seen one emerging development in baseball in recent years: relievers converting into starting pitchers. To be more specific, we’ve seen more established relievers in the Majors switching to the rotation, as our own Mike Petriello explored last year

When I was a kid, one of my favorite activities during long road trips with my family was Mad Libs. Remember that one? Every page was a story with a number of blank spaces, requiring players to fill those spaces in with different words to create the whole story. With
