If you’re going to Las Vegas any time soon, take Padres general manager Kevin Towers with you.
Why? It seems like everything he touches turns into a winner.
Just take his recent acquisitions for example and tell us how:
Scott Hairston hits three consecutive home runs, including a game-winner, after he replaces the injured Milton Bradley.
Morgan Ensberg homers in his first at bat as a first baseman when Adrian Gonzalez gets a rare night off.
Michael Barrett doesn’t succeed behind the plate, but his presence spurs Josh Bard on to greater heights.
Then there are the pitching miracles:
Tim Stauffer starts in place of the injured Chris Young and gets racked. The Padres still win.
Wil Ledezma starts for David Wells after Wells is cut, and Ledezma gets knocked around. The Padres win again.
The list goes on and on concerning how the Padres have conquered the odds this year.
Speaking of odds, don’t bet against Towers when he makes moves that may not appear that great on paper.

How much longer will Towers luck hold on? I can't believe the Padres have done this well for this long: and what happened to the Dodgers?
