Vicente Padilla has made one start in his career at Petco Park, on August 13, 2005, back when he was on the Phillies. Padilla pitched seven scoreless innings on that day, allowing four hits and five walks while striking out five.
Scott Podsednik will wear number 21 with the Dodgers, per Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times. Will Podsednik more resemble Marlon Anderson or Mark Sweeney?

Seriously.
Its ridiculous and doesn’t make sense.

and taylor.. not very good

They were top prospect when they were dealt.

yeah you are right
but knapp was dealth and was injured… and the phillies fleeced the indians. cause of that
by matthewmafa on Jul 29, 2010 12:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Wasn't Knapp coming off surgery?
How does that still make a top prospect?
I was talking about when he was dealt. Only 19 at the time and throwing 98 w/ hammer curve.

oswalt
bottom line: what if he didnt want to come here? all the prospects in the world arent going to clear that hurdle..

Why wouldn't he?
Have you ever been to Philadelphia?
It always seems like every team wants Kemp or Loney from the Dodgers but are willing to take scrubs from any other team.
Let justice be done, though the world perish.
The Dodgers are willing to take scrubs because that’s what they are willing to pay for.

How much?
The Phils got 11 million and won’t pick up the option next year right?
by Mark Watkins on Jul 29, 2010 12:31 PM PDT up reply actions
I meant that when the Dodgers are involved in a trade the price seems really high while the teams that get the players don’t ever seem to meet that high asking price.
Let justice be done, though the world perish.
Maybe it’s the Dodgers leaking that the price is so high so that when they decide they don’t want to pay for the player they can point to these crazy rumors. A la Zach Lee conspiracy theory, trade rumor style.
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.
I do think it has more to do with
teams not believing that the Dodgers have anyone in their system who can jump and succeed in the big leagues right now.
The lack of pitching prospects at the highest levels since Kershaw came up has hampered the Dodgers ability to make a deal.
If you think about it, the system has really only produced two starting pitchers since Logan White got here, two very good pitchers but as I said in an earlier thread, Elbert’s and Mcdonald’s inability to stay healthy and to continue to show promise as starters has basically closed off a big trading chip.

I agree with this
but also think that our prospects get undervalued a bit due to East Coast bias. If Gerry Sands was a Red Sox prospect, Gammons would be creaming in his pants over him.
I would be surprised
if the GMs are basing their information regarding prospects solely on ESPN….
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
They certainly aren't
but in prospect circles around the country, east coast teams’ players get more attention and hype and people are more familiar with the names.
and its only gonna get worse considering
we’re not planning to spend money in the draft anymore..
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
if you position not to have dreaft picks, then they do not need to be paid?
or
if players who will not sign are drafted, they do not need to be paid?

WTF
Where was Coletti on this one? Seems like they didn’t give up much for Oswalt.
Maybe the Dodgers could have offered Padillia?

Reed Johnson played catch in the outfield and hit in the cage. He’s heading back to the field to run.

Well
the way the schedule lines up, the Dodgers won’t face Halladay in Philly, they’ll face Oswalt, Blanton and Hamels.
In the same way that we shouldn't question Billz's mental makeup since we know nothing about it
I would stress that it’s probably a bad idea to assume that the Dodgers’ FO did nothing to try and get Oswalt or any other top tier guy being shopped. We have absolutely no idea.
I will say it’s a shame the Haren deal fell through.

I was just making a statement because I can see how this can easily devolve into “MCCHEAP ZOMG ZOMG” or “COLETTI GOT A NEW CONTRACT AND HE DOESN’T CARE ZOMG ZOMG” and it’s just pointless and needless and frankly, obnoxious.
I also find it funny that we have a double standard about judging a player’s mental makeup through a television yet make statements regarding the actions of the FO based on what we perceive without often knowing the intimate details. Obviously, we have the past to rely on, but other than that, I’m not sure we can blame our FO for this. I think what BH suggested up above is infinitely more likely.

Then again, they can actually score…so Idk.
"Stop exploding you cowards!!!"
OT: God I have stupid friends
My idiot friend is all excited because he gets to “smoke out” tonight. I swear I want to punch him in the face.
Some of that face punching may have to do with Oswalt getting traded for essentially nothing, but I’m not sure.
"Stop exploding you cowards!!!"
what went wrong here?
Oswalt goes to Philly for a lessor package around Happ. The money is manageable obviously(what $11mil thru next year and no buyout?)
We could have added McDonald and another arm like Ely or Elbert and made it work.
Remember yesterday “LAD was in on the deal for Oswalt” then “LAD was out” reports.
It might be as simple as Oswalt deciding on Philly over LA with his no-trade clause, then Oswalt had Houston over the barrell regardless of what we offered.
Thats my guess.
We don’t have a crappy pitcher who’s lucked his way into a 3.1 ERA over his career.
by regfairfield on Jul 29, 2010 12:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Plus Elbert isn’t exactly…viable
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Yup. Occam’s Razor says that Ed Wade thinks J.A. Happ is a great pitcher. That seems totally believable.
by regfairfield on Jul 29, 2010 12:55 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't believe this scenario
It had to be money. Oswalt supposedly said he didn’t want to go to Philadelphia. Plus that city sucks. LA does not.
Now it makes a little more sense
Astros owner Drayton McLane dealt directly with Phillies president David Montgomery to complete the complicated trade.
Per MLB Trade Rumors.

makes perfect sense now. McLane needs to stick to trucking.

JA HAPP. JA HAPP IS NOT HAVING A GOOD YEAR.
He’s been injured most of the year, been blown up in his rehab starts with a 5.97 collective ERA over 3 levels, 11.2 H/9, 4.5 BB/9, and a 8.1 K/9. With a 4.86 FIP
We have people in our system like that. His name is Antonio Bastardo.
Antonio Bastardo would give people in Houston too many new names to call Drayton McLane.

Bastardo
has no record of success in MLB competition.
You may not think that is an important factor (especially since it is now 2 years removed) but it is a huge factor when making deals for younger players.

when the Dodgers trade for Lilly and a middle reliever and give up more than what Haren/Oswalt were traded for.
My twitter = @neufaustcan
Well theoretically Ned should be able to show them here's what the Oswalt trade brought back
and he’s twice as good as Lilly at least, so we’re giving you no more than half that in value.
Theoretically.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
But the supply is now limited, and Lilly is probably the best and most talented option left. He won’t require as much as those two, namely he probably shouldn’t command an immediate MLB contributing pitcher, but the prospects attached will likely be the same.

So the difference
between
Roy Oswalt + cash
and
Scott Podsednik
is J.A. Happ?
The two iffy prospects very roughly balance out.
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I think if the Dodgers were involved in the Oswalt talks
Getting back 1/2 of Oswalt’s salary would probably be the maximum they could have dreamed of getting back.
Lucas May
is pretty much at what he will be, a back up catcher. The Dodger pitching prospect was also a 22 year old undfrafted player pitching in the lowest full-season league..
Both of the Phillies prospects are at least younger.
Still
meets the rough criteria of “iffy”.
I find it funny Wade took young, speed guy type prospects when his team plays in such a bandbox stadium.

Two things stupid
Playing him in CF and leading him off (must be resting Furcal). It’s a 3:35 game, not 12:15, that’s enough extra rest, play Rafi !
The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I don't think leadoff is so stupid, hasn't he been pretty good there this year for KC?
Playing him in CF sounds stupider, however.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
I meant that
it helps talk Torre into resting Furcal today, because he has another “leadoff hitter” now.

Kemp for JA Happ and Lance Berkman

Not as though he's done much recently
But trading Kemp for pitching would hurt this team so bad.

seems like what I consider to be an old school swap of MLB talent. If we had someone to fill his spot or thought we could replace the offense elsewhere, I’d offer it. Though I’m sure it would still get turned down.

10. Anthony Gose | CF | B – L | Age – 19
Single-A Lakewood | Drafted – Round 2 (51), 2008
Player Grades
Contact – 40 Now | 55 Future
Power – 30 | 40/45
Discipline – 35 | 50
Speed – 80 | 80
Defense – 60 | 65
Arm – 70 | 70
Instincts – 50 | 60
ETA – 2013
Final Grade – C+
Body Type – Athletic build with a muscular lower half
Scouting Report
Most teams preferred Anthony Gose as a pitcher coming out of the 2008 draft, but the Phillies decided to make the extremely athletic Gose an outfielder. Time will tell whether that was ultimately the right decision.
For now, Gose is using his plus-plus speed to his advantage. He stole an amazing 76 bases in 96 attempts. Making it more amazing was that he only got on base 32% of the time.
Gose hit for very little power, but has the build and bat speed to potentially add more. However, his approach seems to be that of a player who wants to slap the ball on the ground and take advantage of his speed. That won’t lend itself to more power down the line.
Gose takes advantage of his legs in the outfield. He plays shallow because he has the speed to track down balls over his head. Gose, who threw in the mid-90’s on the mound, obviously has a plus-plus arm as well.
For a player with so little power, Gose struck out way too much. He doesn’t walk much either and being able to get on base is very important for somebody with his level of speed.
Best Case Outcome – A little below average offensive center fielder with plus defense
More Likely Outcome – Below average everyday center fielder or a possible 4th outfield type

The Dodgers won’t discuss prospect Dee Gordon with other teams, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com (via Twitter).
Is Gordon really valuable enough to be on the no-trade list?
considering the garbage being dealt, no top prospects should be changing hands this deadline. If Dan Haren and Roy Oswalt can be traded for a combined 2 #4-5 starters and maybe 1 top 100 prospect, theres no reason to include any real prospect in any deal.

Yes and no.
You and I both think he may be overrated (tho time will tell of course) and would deal him in the right trade, BUT since he is still their #1 ranked prospect and they’ve built him up as great what I would not want to see is Ned sell low on him. If you’re going to trade him, it should be for an excellent return, regardless of what some of us think of him.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Personally
I don’t think a prospect is more valuable just because he’s #1 in a system.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 29, 2010 1:37 PM PDT up reply actions
Sure it depends on the system overall
but I do think buzz is important, and how scouts rave about a player’s “ceiling and tools” etc. I just know, whatever our bias and whatever its flaws, the Dodger system is not < than the Phillies. Sure Brown is untouchable and better than Gordon, but overall…
And Gordon is considered to have a lot of value, period. Maybe internally the Dodgers have their doubts about him too but they are doing what they can to make him hyped.

wasn't talking about specifics, just logic

the difference being that Hamels is a World Series MVP and signed a longer term deal. It’s the same reason no one asks for Jon Lester. Their teams have committed to them. Now, they should be asked to give up like, Victorino however, and maybe they are and it just isn’t reported as vervently as it is here, I don’t know, I wasn’t there.

ESPN.com will not be posting the story in any form. We looked into the situation thoroughly and found that Arash did not properly identify himself as a reporter or clearly state his intentions to write a story. As a result, we are not comfortable with the content, even in an edited version, because of the manner in which the story was reported. We’ve been discussing the situation with Arash and he completely understands. To be clear, the decisions to pull the prematurely published story and then not to run it were made completely by ESPN editorial staff without influence from any outside party.
This is bullshit. People know Arash Markazi is a reporter. EPSN is just scared that they’ll get cut off from a cash cow.

I still think there’s still a good chance we snag Lily or Maholm forthe 4th/ 5th slot.
Adam Morrison has more rings than Lebron, Bosh, and Wade combined?
Guarantee Ned grabs some guys off the scrap heap in August
even if we don’t make another deal before Saturday.
yeah
maybe another player for the bench.

One of the MLBTR guys was on the radio here today (KNBR)
talking trades and I liked his pick for his favorite trade of all time: early 90s, Blue Jays trade McGriff and Tony Fernandez to Padres for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar. Helped Blue Jays get to the World Series. And was a very blockbuster-y trade.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
better than Garrett Anderson?
um, sure. Who wasn’t?

As long as he wears the hat from the Tom Emanski videos, hell yes.

Which is incredible considering he’s playing third for the Marlins right now!

This would make for an interest scenario
We acquire a starting pitcher Saturday before the deadline, but Ely still has to start that night. He goes out, throws 8IP 0ER 0BB Ely-at-his-best type game against the Giants.
What do you do? Say thanks for the great game, have fun in AAA?
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.
Billingsley is starting Saturday though...

Yeah, probably
assuming the guy you acquired is good. :)
Of course, Billz is starting on Saturday, so it’s an academic question.
They say to never hit a man with a closed fist. But it is, on occasion, hilarious.
Right, I forgot that changed. I just saw Ely listed as the probably on MLB.com
