Ronald Belisario Resumes Workouts With Dodgers

Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario, who was placed on the restricted list on July 7 for what the team termed "personal reasons," is one step closer to returning to the team. Per the club's official Twitter feed:
Belisario has resumed workouts at Dodger Stadium. He remains on the restricted list and no timetable has been set for his return.
The 27-year old Belisario was 1-1 with a 3.79 ERA this season for the Dodgers, after a 2.04 ERA last year in his rookie season. Belisario began this season on the restricted list as well, although that was for showing up to spring training 38 days late after dealing with visa issues in his native Venezuela stemming from an arrest last season for driving under the influence.
Earlier this month, Dylan Hernandez and Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times cited a source saying Belisario was undergoing treatment for substance abuse. However, today Hernandez reported that Belisario's agent, Paul Kinzer, had no comment:
When asked to confirm or deny a report in The Times that Belisario was in a substance-abuse program, Kinzer said, "I don't have any comment at all. Ronald's had some personal issues he's dealing with."
Baseball players may be placed on the restricted list for up to 30 days, so the Dodgers have to decide what to do with Belisario, who is out of minor league options, by August 6.

I was a guest Monday night on the MLB Monday Show on Sports Talk Soup talking about the Dodgers as the trade deadline approaches. My interview begins at roughly the one hour, 22 minute mark.

Not sure of the timetable
but I would imagine he would be good to go after say 4-5 days of rehab, maybe two sets of back-to-backs or something like that.

Come back soon, Bellisario!
On a non-baseball, human level, I hope Bellisario has sorted out his “personal issues”, whether they are substance abuse related or other.
On a Dodger bullpen level, I think this can be another boost for the team. Jansen is impressive, but I don’t want to see him get burned out by overuse too soon, and if Bellisario can come back quickly with some semblance of his 2009 form, our bullpen gets some much needed depth back.
Move over Kendry Morales
Chris Coghlan of the Marlins hurt his knee by landing wrong after jumping during the shaving cream pie in the face celebration after Wes Helms’ walk-off.
Coghlan is on the DL, and could need surgery and be out for 6-8 weeks. Amazing.

I don't understand how this crap is happening
Matt Kemp better not hurt someone in the next walk-off, lol.
"Stop exploding you cowards!!!"
You'd think they'd learn from Kendry, since it happened on national TV...
Apparently not…

Eric or anyone for that matter: Who are going to be the available starting pitchers in free agency this offseason?
Cot's
list isn’t definitive (quick glance and I didn’t see Kuroda) but here you go:

Thanks. What do you think the chances are that Tim Hudson actually tests the market? I think that he would fit in well in the ballparks in the NL West.

Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.
Depends on your risk factor
If you’re willing to take the risk, you could sign guys to incentive-laden deals and potentially have the best rotation in MLB. With guys like Harden, Webb, Bedard, Duchscherer and Sheets you have all former aces. What team they go to will be determined by who will guarantee the most money with minimal incentives and/or who will tack on an extra year or two.

Rosenthal said this, so take it for what it’s worth:

Rockies looking to sell?
He mentions Aaron Cook, and that piqued my interest, but he makes about $9MM next year. Is this feasible?

I would rather have De La Rosa
more upside I think.

isn't it?
Rockies won’t be trading with the Dodgers. At least not anything significant.

4.5 games out
they can’t sell now. They could move Hawpe because Smith is probably better in the first place, but I doubt they are moving DeLaRosa. He will be an interesting free agent this winter. To make some big money he needs to show something akin to what he showed last year.
At least the Dodgers should know where they stand after Aug 16th when they wrap up the road trip against the Phillies/Braves.
Trading De la Rosa/Hawpe within the division
What would it matter? The guy is a free agent next year and if the team is looking to sell they should take whoever offers the most. Helping a rival win the division in a year that you don’t plan on competing/don’t think you are able to compete is moot.
The whole “won’t trade within the division” argument is a Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V argument. Now, I could understand not wanting to deal Cook in the division because he’ll be under contract for next year also.

And whether they signed which picks

Denorfia
M White didn’t spend much time on him in the Padre Review but he’s been the best Padre hitter in July, and 2nd best NL CF. You just never know when AAAA hitters are going to go on a hot streak. I’ve always liked him as a 4th outfielder type way back when he was in the Red system.

Anybody heading to any of the games at PETCO this week? I’ll be there tonight and Thursday afternoon.
