Analysis:

The Good—Dead weight was shed this month with the departure of Wil Ledezma and Iguchi. The Japanese second baseman was truly a bust, earning $4 million while hitting .231 and missing two months to injury.

San Diego swept the first place Diamondbacks in Petco Park (including a pounding of Cy Young candidate Brandon Webb) and then took two of three from Colorado. Believe it or not, it capped off the best home stand of the season for San Diego at 5-1.

      Yet.
