Homer leader A-Gon insists he's not a power hitter

LOS ANGELES -- After belting his eighth homer of the season, which puts him in the NL lead, Adrian Gonzalez continues to insist that he is not a "power hitter."

"He's a line-drive hitter with power," the manager said. "He can not be a power hitter all year long. Just keep hitting them at this pace and we'll be happy."
