Baker swipes some bags: Padres catcher John Baker did something on Tuesday that he had never done before. He stole a base in the seventh inning; and then he did it again in the eighth. Baker went 0 for 2 with two walks in the game. San Diego would hold on for the 3-1 win over Colorado. (Updated 05/09/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Baker is batting just .083 for the Friars this season with one RBI. Despite his career day, Baker is just the backup catcher in San Diego. He isn't worth owning in NL-only formats, so owners can continue to ignore him. (Updated 05/09/2012).
