Yep - he actually opened the season as Cannizzaro's back-up. On April 17, without ever getting into a game, he was released. The Pads had just traded McBean to LA and received Leon Everitt and Tommy Dean in return, creating a need to drop someone. Gonder was expendable because a few days earlier the club had returned infielder Rafael Robles to Elmira and signed catcher Chris Krug.
