He's not just some guy who you thought was going to be a different guy who is coming to the Padres after a weird trade by another guy (last guy is Josh Byrnes, keeping up?). He's a fans' player.
When the San Diego Padres dealt Anthony Bass to the Houston Astros for cash considerations or a player to be named later and agreed to also give the Astros cash considerations or a player to be named later, people quickly realized they were essentially trading Bass for one of the Astros' Rule 5 picks. Most people thought the Padres would get Brian Moran. Turns out they gotPatrick Schuster. And Schuster is already endearing himself to fans.
What's up @Padres fans?! Got any questions for me? I'd love to hear em.

@mickeykoke I'd have to say it's not a whole lot different. If anything it may not be as heavy stuff during the season.
— Patrick Schuster (@Pat_Schuster10) December 13, 2013@mickeykoke I think it's got everything to do with where I've gotten today. Without it I'd just be a normal lefty.
— Patrick Schuster (@Pat_Schuster10) December 13, 2013This is important stuff here!
@padrefan858 dang man putting me on the spot already!? Probably around 350
— Patrick Schuster (@Pat_Schuster10) December 13, 2013Sure hope so
@commandercacho only the authentic stuff. Got any of that in SD?
— Patrick Schuster (@Pat_Schuster10) December 13, 2013Fatal flaw?
@Pat_Schuster10@Padres What is your opinion on the Brown uniforms? There is a big movement to bring back the retro look.
— Will DeFelice (@will61589) December 13, 2013@will61589 oh those are rough, but I'd wear whatever they gave me to pitch out there.
— Patrick Schuster (@Pat_Schuster10) December 13, 2013This was a pretty cool thing Schuster did here. Not many athletes will take the time to honestly answer questions. If there is one way to find yourself embedded in the hearts of Padres fans everywhere (like a heart worm) is to actually interact. However, you have to at least fake some love for the brown uniforms!
