Player Notes
December 20, 2008

September 7, 2008
Usually, the Diamondbacks make their rookies wear costumes on the way home from road trips at the end of the year, but after losing to the Dodgers and falling further behind them in the division, Tony Clark told the rookies to change because it was an inappropriate time, according to the Arizona Republic.

June 19, 2008

June 15, 2008
Tony Clark is serving as the San Diego Padres designated hitter in today's game at Cleveland. The left-handed slugger squares off against Indians' starter C.C. Sabathia. Starting Clark against the Cy Young winner is surprising as he is 0-for-5 against the southpaw in his career.
June 8, 2008
San Diego needed every out they had today to get the job done, but the Padres pulled four runs in the eighth to get the win over the Mets, 8-6. The win was pushed by pinch hitting first baseman Tony Clark , taking his one at-bat and producing three runs with first home run of the year, giving Mets reliever Billy Wagner his third blown save and giving the Padres the win.
April 21, 2008
Tony Clark has been unavailable the last two games due to a sore groin, but he could be back on Monday. "I'm available, but I won't be stealing any bases," he tells the North County Times. Clark suffered his injury during Thursday's 22-inning game.
April 20, 2008
Tony Clark was unavailable for Saturday night action due to a leg injury, and could miss a few more games, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.
March 15, 2008
Tony Clark went 2-for-3 with an RBI against the Giants on Saturday, and raised his spring average to .429 (9-for-21). Clark should provide the Padres with a solid bat off the bench this season.
February 10, 2008
Tony Clark signed a 1-year contract for about $900,000 to serve as the team's top bat off the bench in 2008 though the contract wont be official for a day or two. Clark apparently turned down a 2-year deal to stay in Arizona to move back to where he grew up. He still provides plenty of pop (17 HR last year) and clubhouse leadership, but with Adrian Gonzalez the team's best hitter entrenched at 1B, Clark's chance of playing in as many games as his 113 of last year seem slim even if he pinch hits all the time. San Diego Union Tribune
February 7, 2008
Tony Clark and the San Diego Padres are deep into negotiations on a contract according to a report from the Union Tribune. Clark, 35, hit 17 home runs and batted .249 in 221 at-bats with the Diamondbacks last season. In 2005, when he was Arizona's regular first baseman, Clark hit 30 home runs. Clark's fantasy value will rest in deep NL only formats unless an untimely injury strikes starting first baseman Adrian Gonzalez.
February 6, 2008
The Padres are interested in veteran free agent Tony Clark, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reports. Clark wouldn't get a lot of at-bats behind Adrian Gonzalez, but he did grow up in San Diego and would be a great addition to the clubhouse. The team has also entertained the idea of signing Mike Sweeney.
