i’m glad you write this. He’s definitely an underrated Padres and will continue to be so.

And don’t forget the way he broke up DP…that man can run the bases. I’d like to think that Will Venable got some lesson in breaking DP from Brian Giles as i saw in a game and turned to my friend and we both said “hey, just like Giles”. Thanks, Brian Giles. Good luck.

7th most batting runs in Padres history. The 5th most plate appearances, the only players with fewer PAs and more batting runs are Nevin and Klesko.

I think I am in the minority that agree with you about Giles.

I loved the way he went about playing the game on offense and defense. While many around him expressed their dislike for Petco, Giles never once complained about a park that is definitely unfair to left handed power hitters.

He has 2 of the 4 .300 hitting seasons in Petco history and he was the best I have ever seen at drawing a walk.

I will miss seeing him play.

Goodbye and thanks for playing the game right Brian Giles.
