With the hopes of jump starting the stagnant offense, Arizona acquired first baseman Tony Clark from the San Diego Padres on Thursday. Clark, who will likely be used primarily off the bench, spent the 2005 through 2007 seasons with Arizona before signing a one-year contract with San Diego prior to the 2008 campaign.

| (MySportsbook) - Expect the San Diego Padres to undergo a much-needed facelift in the coming weeks. Although not hopelessly far out of the race in the cookie dough-soft National League West at the moment, there are wisely no grand illusions among the Padres' front office contingent that their disappointing team can be a legitimate playoff contender under its current configuration.
