Fick in a Fix

Robert Fick not only is still in baseball, he's given the Padres some offense this season. He drove in both runs in their 2-1 victory over the Dodgers last night. Since coming up in May, Fick is hitting, getting on base, and supplying some power. He's also catching again, which makes him happy.

"I've figured out what I need to do," Fick said yesterday. "I've done some stupid things in the past. I'm taking better care of myself on and off the field. And I think I've found a home here.

"The old Robert Fick might have gotten mad at not playing more and may have lost the respect of his teammates. But it's been different here. The Padres have been true to their word. For one thing, I'm catching again," he said.

I hope this is true. We'll see what happens when his batting stats return to normal and he's not playing every day.
