San Diego pitcher Bobby Jones, Anaheim infielder Scott Spiezio and Padres outfielder Ryan Klesko were penalized the most in Bob Watson's first decisions as baseball's disciplinarian.

The Angels' Aaron Sele, who hit Klesko with a pitch that triggered the first of two fights during a spring training game March 9, was fined but not suspended

Jones received a seven-game penalty, Spiezio six and Klesko five. Angels third baseman Troy Glaus was suspended for two games.

All penalties are to be served during the regular season, and they could be delayed if the players appeal.
