Maybe getting proper rest is keeping him fresh and raking?

In response to the Cloninger post, be pro-active in what way?
DL guys like Phillips and keep them out for two weeks so you can add some reserve infielder? DL Valdez because of a stiff neck? You'll pay a price for that down the road when they are able to play but are still DL'd.
I guess they could cut Cairo and add another reserve infielder for a few days until Phillips and Valdez are able to play. Seems like a major reaction to a few day problem.
The decision on Cairo will come when Votto returns from the DL.
I missed part of the game where Valdez got hurt.. someone here said it was a stiff neck.. I guess he's day to day.. but have there been any estimates when he'd be ok again?
Dusty Fully hinted/explained this in his post game on FSN last night. He said Ludwick is hot and he is going to keep him that way by resting him day game after night game and so he's ready to rake vs. PIT.
XP leading off, that's awesome! It's going to be a good day for the offense. 10 runs 15 hits good IMHO.
Today would've been a nice Lyle Overbay kind of day.
Best record in baseball and winner of 19 of 22....complain about the lineup!
Dick Enberg is a great announcer.
Padres announcer just said watching Cueto pitch is like watching Volquez pitch.
No, no it's not.
1-2-3 first inning for Cueto. Two ground outs and a strike out of Headley.
