Craig Stammen put the Padres uniform on again Monday morning, this time as San Diego's manager. Darnay and Todd discuss what we heard, why A.J. Preller felt comfortable handing the clubhouse to the former reliever, and what big questions remain. Stammen admitted a learning curve is ahead. He says he'll keep the club on the path set by Mike Shildt. What role will Ruben Niebla have going forward? And is there any clarity on Preller's future?
