G-Men for GM?

The Union-Tribune's Bill Center reports that the brothers Gonzalez (a.k.a, the G-Men) were behind the Padres interest in rotation candidate Walter Silva. The enigmatic 32 year old has spent his career in the Mexico, where he has put together a solid career, first as an outfielder, then as a pitcher, posting an sub-4.00 ERA and winning record over the his last troika of seasons. Center quotes the youngest Gonzalez:

He makes pitches, and (he) pitches down. And he has great poise. He doesn't panic or rattle.

While he has been slowed by a sprained ankle this Spring (his first with a Major League club), Silva notched a solid outing Friday night, allowing a run on a couple hits over 4 innings. FF thanks the G-Men for taking an interest in making the club better. A pro from the south can't be any worse than course of the season.
