Dodgers Finalize One-Year Contract With Vicente Padilla

The Dodgers today have finalized their deal with Vicente Padilla. He has signed a one-year deal believed to be worth $2 million in base salary, plus a boatload of potential performance incentives (potentially up to $8 million in incentives per Ken Gurnick of MLB.com). He is expected to get a shot at the starting role, but his most likely role to start the season will be as swing man out of the bullpen.
“Vicente’s flexibility and willingness to be in whatever role we may need him in was very important to us,” said General Manager Ned Colletti. “We believe he is capable of filling practically any role on our staff and we are very glad to have him back.”
When Padilla has been good with the Dodgers, he has been very good. He has 11 quality starts, and in those games he is 7-2 with a 1.55 ERA with 16 walks and 75 strikeouts. However, in his other 12 starts he is 3-3 with a 6.99 ERA, with 19 walks and 45 strikeouts. Couple that volatility with injuries -- Padilla battled a nerve problem in his right arm as well as a bulging disc in his neck in 2010, limiting him to 95 innings pitched -- and it's easy to see why the base salary is so low.
Padilla has made just one relief appearance in the last nine seasons, and that came in 2009 with the Dodgers, a two-inning stint in game 159 of the season. At that point, Padilla was on the bubble for a postseason rotation spot, but struck out 10 in five innings on the final day of the season, then pitched seven masterful innings in two straight playoff starts to make his mark on Dodger history (with those, it was easier to forget his clunker in Game 5 of the NLCS).
Padilla gives the Dodgers technically 38 players on the 40-man roster, which will be full once the additions of Tony Gwynn Jr. and Dioner Navarro become official. It also means that, of the nine 2010 Dodgers who filed for free agency, the Dodgers have re-signed five of them (Lilly, Gibbons, Kuroda, Barajas, Padilla).

question thou. now that the 40 man roster is full (or will be soon), does that mean we are done? or does it just mean that we’ll let someone go if we were to sign someone? This might be a dumb question. I’ve been waking up at 6am all week.

Finally watched that movie The Rookie on cable
It’s not much for drama, kind of predictable, but I still enjoyed it. Jim Morris, a good story. And briefly in Dodger camp after his brief Tampa career was over.
Question: Is that some actor playing Royce Clayton at the end? (Morris struck him out in his first appearance, just as film depicts).

Seriously, hah. He's a good sport

So Matt Kemp and Rihanna are done according to TerezOwens...
Does he play better in 2011 because of it?
He’s gonna get really depressed and end up flailing randomly at any pitch. No one will notice the difference.
@andrewngrant
When I read “get depressed and flail randomly”…I couldnt help but think that described what alot of guys do when they get dumped.
Or anyone for that matter
My standards went through the floor when I came back from college and had my heart broken
Winter is coming.
hopefully
but that kind of disappoints me. i was hoping to see rihanna at least once at dodger stadium.
gotta hand it to Ned on this one
We went into the offseason thinking we’d be lucky signing 1 of our 3 highly capable (if unspectacular) PVL starters, and Ned actually goes 4 for 3! Though we’re not too impressed, and perhaps even mildly disgusted, with his offensive offensive signings, the pitchers were more important, anyway.
Agreed
Free agency is such a fickle monster anyway, you never really know what you’re going to get. With only two capable starters prior, pitching had to be number 1 priority…and since we’re not the Yankees and can’t throw dollars at everyone, the hit-or-miss aspect of the game becomes more evident.
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Who’s everyone hope for extra right-handed outfielder?
My vote goes to Bill Hall.
Though a trade for Ludwick or Willingham would be nice. Unrealistic, but nice.
Bill Hall would make the most sense, since Ned’s been going after guys that hit homers, dont walk, and have low OBP.
I’ll be disappointed if Rick Ankiel doesnt get an invite to camp.
tru dat.
Bill Hall, Rod Barajas, Juan Uribe, and Casey Blake will combine for 60 HR and a .300 OBP

I’m gonna guess 92
I'd vote for Ankiel
He was voted Gatorade High School Player of the Year when I was a Sophmore in High School. He dominated at the plate and on the mound. We lost a 9 inning game against him 2-1 because of a solo shot he hit in the last inning. That was the only time I’ve ever seen someone hit a walk off HR and pitch a complete game. Usually that stuff only happens in Little League.
Wouldn’t he be out of our price range? Or has his value dropped a lot?
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
I think it will end up being Bill Hall, but I wouldn’t mind Mike Cameron. I wonder what the Sox would ask for him?
Looking for LF, or not?
Is the general view that Colletti is (still? was he ever?) looking for a slugging LF, or this is basically it? It’s very odd that the Dodgers don’t seem to be able to either cultivate their own hitters or buy or trade any, aside from Manny. About half the MLB teams have at least one slugging start, Dodgers don’t seem seriously interested. Why not?
I would be shocked if the Dodgers don’t sign some sort of RH bat who will, at least occasionally, play LF.
interesting
that colletti would give a first time manager a shitload of different ways to set a lineup/defense.. Im not used to him setting up a team this way..
by hee came hee seop'd he choi'd on Dec 9, 2010 6:24 PM PST up reply actions
Let's see
Matt Kemp had 28 home runs last year, that was more than 11 other team’s leader in home runs.
Yeah
it’s really weird to say the dodgers “don’t semm seriously interested” in a slugger. First of all they already have 2 guys that are arguably sluggers. Second of all, what team doesn’t want a slugger? Evryone wants a big slugger, just not everyone can afford one.
foolish
maybe my folly was trusting the LA times, but they said they like padilla as the closer? did i miss something?
Listened to an interview Tony Jackson had on the Mason and Ireland show.
Mason had a guest host (Whicker, or something, since Ireland is on the road with the Lakers).
From what I remember:
- Tony Jackson has no love at all for Frank McCourt. Went on a 3-4 minute rant basically saying he’s deluded if he thinks he can keep the team. Also, said he should sell the team if he’s serious to somebody with money.
- The left field spot is not a priority, says the team believes it can trade for somebody in the season for on the trade deadline if need be.
- Mags is out of the price range for LF, said that Matt Diaz hemmed and hawed with the Dodgers, among Diaz’s concerns was the traffic getting to DS.
- Explained that the Topps reward, and doesn’t think Sands, Robinson or De La Rosa will help in 2011.
Couldnt Diaz just hire a taxi or limo service to get him to the ballpark?
I’m sure he’d have the money too.
I always just assumed most players hired limos to take them to and from the park regardless…it would suck to sit in traffic for a long time and be driving yourself…at least if you’re in a limo you can kick back.
I realize that driving is a pain in LA
but really, is it that much different than any other large metro area. Sure there public transportation options but MLB players don’t use them (okay John Rocker excluded).
Is this is from someone who drives 8 miles a day one way on surface streets and it takes 50 minutes.
true
what’s interesting to think about is that he’d probably have to drive for longer to DS even without traffic than if he played for a different team…unless he lived right by the stadium.
Winter is coming.
But most leave around 11am, and there is no traffic then

Oh, also.
- Gwynn was signed as a 4th outfielder, Gibbons to be the left handed bench guy.
- If they don’t sign a LF, it will be a battle between… Xavier Paul and Hoffmann.
There's no way I sit in the stands
behind Paul or Hoffman in LF.

Seriously, Reggie Bush should go try to get his Heisman back.

there were a couple of questions along the lines of whether he thinks what he and Auburn did will stand. But for the most part, the premise was about his father. What a difference 5 years makes- or 5 months, roughly, if you’re counting from the time of NCAA’s ruling.
Things xeifrank should add to his projections.
How easy it will be to no hit the Dodgers lineup from game to game.

We’ll probably have at least 2.5 legitimate hitters. (The “.5” being the games Furcal ends up playing healthy.)

Carlos Beltran
I know I always talk about getting a LF. But one guy that would make perfect sense is Carlos Beltran. We need a #2 hitter that can hit after Furcal that has some power. Beltran would be a great fit. He is also a free agent after next year which is good becuase I think Robinson or Sands will be ready to take over in 2012. He makes a lot but I heard that the Mets were willing to pick up some money to move him. How about Lindblom and Paul for Beltran.
Mets would ask for Dee Gordon

Let's see Rickey do this
from Cool Papa Bell’s Wiki page:
he once scored from first on a sacrifice bunt. In an exhibition game against white all-stars, Bell broke for second on a bunt and run, with Satchel Paige at the plate. By the time the ball reached Paige, Bell was almost to second and rounded the bag, seeing the third baseman had broken towards home to field the bunt. The catcher, Roy Partee of the Boston Red Sox, ran to third to cover the bag and an anticipated return throw from first. To his surprise, Bell rounded third and brushed by him on the way home; pitcher Murry Dickson of the St. Louis Cardinals had not thought to cover home with the catcher moving up the line, and Bell scored standing up.

Waiting out Beltre
My psychic says the only chance we have with Beltre is to get him into January unsigned.
I say we need to swoop in however with a five year deal, for his age 31-35 seasons.
We have nothing in the system, fans would like or love to get him back, he was raised a Dodger and I have your RH bat for LF………………..Casey Blake
Oak offered 5 years, $64mil and Boras decided no to respond. Now “Texas reportedly is interested in Adrian Beltre and would need to shed Young in order to make that signing happen. The Rockies, Angels and Cubs are rumored to have varying levels of interest. Colorado has been most talked about and Morosi reports that Rockies outfield prospect Charlie Blackmon has been discussed between the teams.”
What a crock. Tex has Young, Colorado has other needs, Cubs have Ramirez…leaving only the Angels, whose owner Artie LOATHES Boras like W loathes Kim Jung Il.
We have a shot here if we want. Solve 3b and let Logan go back to drafting HS pitchers in early rounds.
I still hope
He uses the top two picks to get a 3B & C.
