It's true, I couldn't care less. I might be the only Padres fan that feels this way but I'm glad I have thoughts of my own. I've never really like him since we played him in the outfield. He has made up for the mess of an outfielder we made him but I still don't get the warm and fuzzies when I think of him. If he continues to play the way he did last season maybe, just maybe, my thoughts will change. Of course I was happy for him for the awards he won this past year but it's only natural to feel that way when someone on your team finally gets recognition. It by no means changes my personal opinion about Chase. Hell, I would have been happy if the recognition was forVolquez... okay, maybe not Volquez.
I, personally, thought he let his awards go to his head hence the amount he was asking for vs the amount the Padres saw fit to offer and ended up paying. There is no doubt that Chase's performance last season was beneficial and was the one bright spot on an otherwise underwhelming and injury prone team but I wasn't going to be heartbroken if we traded him mid-season. In fact, I'm still waiting for that to happen. I hope to God we don't end up trying to make him the face of the franchise because seriously, we need someone with a ridiculous amount of talent and personality to go with it. Then again, we do like to make someone the face of the franchise and then immediately trade them so, maybe he should be.
