If pitching and defense win championships, the Padres may be in luck.
But if it comes down to power, the Padres may be in the tank.
Why? Five of the eight position players in their starting line-up during last night’s 3-2 win over Cincinnati have not hit a home run in May.
Mike Cameron did homer May 8 against Atlanta. Adrian Gonzalez homered May 9 against the Braves and Khalil Greene hit a round-tripper May 11 against St. Louis.
The remainder of the starting eight?
Brian Giles has not homered in 104 at bats since April 14.
Marcus Giles has not homered in 84 at bats since April 16.
Kevin Kouzmanoff has not homered in 59 at bats since April 14.
Jose Cruz Jr. has not homered in 48 at bats since April 27.
Josh Bard has not homered in 40 at bats since April 30.
Mike Piazza, where are you? (Or for that matter, where are Jack Cust … and Phil Nevin?)

They should have brought back Phil Nevin when they had the chance.
I agree that Nevin would have been a good solution. They also should have kept Piazza, or that guy Cust.
Brian, P.B.
