Tony Gwynn is unquestionably the best Padre of all time. But could Fernando Tatis Jr. end up taking that title? For the answer we go to Bill Center, who's covered the Padres for about four decades. Bill gives us the inside scoop on why he thought Dinelson Lamet could be a front line MLB starter when the righty was in Lake Elsinore, how the Friars can not just get into ... but make noise in the playoffs, and why we shouldn't get too excited about a hot start by Wil Myers quite yet.
