Speaking of a left handed utility guy (Newhan) that can play 4 or 5 positions, what about Portland's Peter Ciofrone ? -He is still fairly young and has been smashing the baseball for 3 months now. Does he get a small taste in September. Good also to see PMAC not stewing or sulking and doing exactly what it takes to get another crack at the bigs--hit like crazy.

#128@JP: He's a fascinating case. He is 30 years old. There must be a reason he never got a shot until this year. But who knows? The people who made that decision could be wrong.

#126@Kevin: The guy can hit enough to probably keep him in the majors for next 3 to 4 years. His season this years so far reminds me of David Newhan's 2004 season - that particular season bought Newhan 4 more years and one nice contract. Yes, his defense is seemingly below average (but he can play 4 positions ) , not too mention that he is slow afoot and his baserunning leaves a little to be desired but if he hits even close to this for the rest of the seasom then you have to give him another long look next year.

#123@JP: I'm sure your right. I haven't got to watch the team lately. But he is seeing the ball real well.

123: Temper away. However, it's hard to win games where one player collected half of the total hits of the team, and Kouz, Headley, Greene went 1 for 15 with 8 K's.

#113@LynchMob: Craziest thing about that game: Craig Cooper played center for the Missions.

#122@Kevin: May I dare temper things a bit by adding what Egon doesn't do particularly well. Turn the double play. He botched a pretty easy double play again tonight off the bat of Dunn in the 6th, which would have got Peavy out of the inning.

More evidence of his greatness:

Edgar Gonzalez has had at least two hits in each of the Padres’ five game since the All-Star break, including three in San Diego’s win at Cincinnati on Monday night. It’s the second time that Gonzalez has had five consecutive multiple-hit games this year; he also did that from June 10 through June 14. The only other major-league player with two streaks of at least five straight multiple-hit games this season is Boston’s Dustin Pedroia.
