"I miss coming to Portland after the draft and decompressing for four days," McLeod said early last week at Fenway Park, where the San Diego Padres were playing the Red Sox.

McLeod would check on Sea Dogs players he had drafted in previous years, catch the games and then enjoy Portland's restaurants (the Pepperclub was a favorite).

McLeod is now an assistant general manager with the Padres, following Jed Hoyer to San Diego after the 2009 season.

More has changed for McLeod than switching coasts and canceling his visits to Maine.

There is a matter of budget.

The Red Sox payroll this year is roughly $162 million, third highest among major league teams.

San Diego is 27th at $46 million, about $5 million more than Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford combined will make next year.

"Let's face it, we're in a middle to lower market," McLeod said. "We're not going to be able to compete for big free agents, go for the quick fix.

"We're going to have to be right in the draft. We've got to make the right decisions and develop correctly if we're going to have any type of long-term success."

And when the Padres can no longer afford a player, they need to make the right kind of deal -- like sending Gonzalez to Red Sox for three of Boston's top prospects: first baseman Anthony Rizzo, pitcher Casey Kelly and outfielder Reymond Fuentes.
