Let’s hope Edgar Gonzalez continues to hit because if he does then we won’t have to watch Iguchi flail at curve balls in the dirt any longer.

I’m done with “Gooch” and hopefully so is the Padres brass.

#128@Stephen: Greene is first among NL shortstops in fielding Win Shares through June 5. Other than that, it's 1:50 a.m. on the East Coast, and I'm drunk.

#125@Kevin: KG's defensive #s not so hot so far or just that he's an everyday player who's so bad on O?

2 other Padres draft picks (also outfielders) made All-American teams as well. Blake Tekotte from Miami (.357/470/.580) was a second team selection and Jason Kipnis from Arizona State (.371/.485/.667) was a third team pick. They also stole 26 and 24 bases respectively.

Gerut’s new line: .274/.354/.372

Edgar: .322/.385/.424

Giles: .304/.413/.444

Adrian: .295/.358/.557

McAnulty: .239/.374/.398

There were five players in today’s lineup with on-base percentages of .350 or better.

Greene and Carlin are in their for only their defense at this point. In Greene’s case, that’s not good.

Kouzmanoff’s performance is puzzling.

Padres 3rd round draft pick Sawyer Carroll was named by Baseball American as a 1st Team All-American. He hit .419/.514/.782 in the SEC with 19 HR's and 12 stolen bases. He also drew 44 walks compared to 33 strikeouts in 234 at bats. The low strikeout total lead me to think he could maintain a very high batting average. He's also already signed, and will hopefully be in Eugene on opening day.

Dang, another post with a link eaten, and GY busy with the family.

Anyway, if anyone wants to see a truly eye-popping number, check out Josh Banks’ ERA+ as a Padre. It’s only 23 innings, but it’s 972. Yes, his ERA+ is almost 1000!

#117@Kevin: I gotta think so ... I think Estes can be a positive contributor out of the pen ... a guy who can "go long" if/when needed ...
