SAN DIEGO -- Fifteen players with connections to San Diego County were named as users of performance-enhancing drugs by the report to the commissioner of baseball -- made public Thursday -- from former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell.

Among the big names on the list were mid-1990s Padres heroes Ken Caminiti, Wally Joyner and Kevin Brown, and former All-Star outfielder David Justice, whose Poway home was destroyed in the recent Witch Creek Fire.

Caminiti, the National League's Most Valuable Player when he led the Padres to their first Western Division title in 12 years, died of a drug overdose in 2004.

While Caminiti's use of performance-enhancing drugs was no surprise, the involvement of Joyner was.

According to the report, such involvement was minimal. In 1998, while battling injuries, Joyner obtained three pills from Caminiti, didn't like them and never took more.

Caminiti and Joyner were listed in a section of the report about BALCO, the Northern California lab also tied to Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants and disgraced track star Marion Jones.

Also named in the BALCO section were former Padres Gary Sheffield and Benito Santiago. Their involvement came in 2002 and 2003, respectively, well after they'd moved on to other teams.

In a part of the report about New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski, a number of other former Padres were mentioned, including:

Jack Cust, who spent time in the minor league organization before being dealt to Oakland earlier this year

outfielder Rondell White

pitchers Ron Villone and Matt Herges

catcher Gary Bennett Jr.

Adam Riggs, who made only brief appearances with the Friars

Brown, the pitcher who led the Padres to the 1998 World Series

Brown's involvement with Human Growth Hormone, according to the report, came in 2001. Radomski said that Brown appeared to already have knowledge about the drug, however.

Three players who grew up in San Diego also were tied to performance-enhancing drugs, including career backup catcher Todd Pratt, a former star at Hilltop High School in Chula Vista, San Diego prep star Mike Judd, and former University of San Diego pitcher Bart Miadich, who spent most of his time in the Los Angeles Angels minor league system.

Another player named in the report told investigators that Miadich was prone to "roid rage."

Three other players were mentioned in the report. Blue Jays third baseman Troy Glaus, the former Carlsbad High School star, was named in a September Sports Illustrated magazine article as having bought nandrolone and testosterone at a clinic, but investigators found insufficient evidence to support the allegations.

Angels outfielder Gary Matthews Jr., who came up through the Padres minor league system, was also cleared by investigators after being named in a media report.

Ismael Valdez, who pitched for part of a season with the Padres, was also mentioned in a media story, but the Mitchell report did not state whether the claim was substantiated.

Not mentioned in the Mitchell report were Padres outfielder Brian Giles nor his younger brother, Marcus Giles, El Cajon natives who have been subjected to rumors about performance enhancing drugs in recent years. San Diego native Bret Boone, who played for a short time with the Padres and has also been dogged by steroid rumors, also was not included.
