Padres declined RHP Chad Qualls' $6 million option for 2012. An expected move. Qualls had a pretty good year for the Pads, holding a 3.51 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 74 1/3 innings, though he also missed the fewest bats of his career, posting a 5.2 K/9 rate. He'll be able to catch on as a setup man somewhere.
