Inside pitch: Wiki's real first name is Wiklenman. "My mother named me after a German singer she read about in a magazine," Gonzalez said. "When she visits me, she says she's the only one that doesn't call me Wiki." ... On the troubles that took him from the Padres' top catcher in 2000 to the minors last year: "I was hurt and every time I started to play well again I got hurt again. But that's all in the past."
Quotable: "I'm a new person and a new player. I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm happy to be here to help my new team."
