Jayson Stark of ESPN.com reports that Dodgers have acquired outfielder Scott Podsednik from the Royals for two minor leaguers.
The Dodgers beat out the division rival Giants to land Podsednik, who has hit .310/.353/.400 with five homers, 44 RBI and 30 stolen bases in 390 at-bats for the Royals. He'll join an outfield rotation in Los Angeles that is headlined by Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp and Manny Ramirez. That crowd should cut into his fantasy value, but the speedster will be highly useful to the Dodgers.

SUCK IT RUSSEL MARTIN!!!
I hope you have a long unproductive career for Special Agent Colletti
We don't have to improve our ability to get people on base to improve our offense. If we sign FAs with decent RBI totals they will bring those RBIs with them. Its science. Or magic. We aren't exactly sure. The IT department hasn't responded to our telegram. --Sabean's offseason master plan
Man, I love Ned.

I couldn't be prouder of my recent adoptee - Tim Lincecum's dealer. He provides the secret fuel behind both Cy Youngs. Also, he taught Timmy the change-up.

Thank you, Agent Colletti!
May the Pods Project be every bit as successful as the Schmidt Initiative.

I would have liked Pods
If it meant not giving up much. Having siad that, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense form the dodgers perspective. Unless they know that Ramirez is not going to play much more this year.
LOL @ “This is not my blog.” You’re growing on me, man.

I will amend this to state that obviously, Podsednik will kill us in the finest tradition of shitty overrated NL West players everywhere.

I hope Podesnik and furcal do not run wild on lincecum if they get on, with posey behind the plate.
We know with Bengie behind the plate if they get on base they are on second when timmy is pitching. It is up to timmy to keep them off base, if not its up to Posey to throw their asses out.
He got caught on a fake to 3rd, fake to 1st move this year

Ha!
That’s excellent! I remember growing up, Harry Caray used to say (in his inimitable way), “That play hasn’t worked since the days of high-button shoes.” So I find it exceedingly amusing when it actually does work.
Yeah I couldn't find the headline on Royals Review
but the author of the post game thread said he’d never seen that play work. Until Pods got busted on it

I’ve seen it work three times and in every instance the victim was none other than Barry Bonds, in all other respects one of the two best base runners I’ve ever seen in my life.
My Bucardo is better than yours.
A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
Oswalt to the Phils
I am glad Oswalt and Haren went to teams on the brink, not teams that can really hurt us. We need to make a Lee-level impact trade just to solidify what we already have. Nats want MadBum for the Donkey? I think Dunn is the best move we could make, but not for the kid. Scott and/or Ohman from Bal is the only other deal I would make.
Fathaigh go mbuaimid!

I don’t agree because the Phillies sure can hurt us. This probably wins the division for the Phillies and puts the Braves into the wild card race. How come the Phillies always make that big move at the deadline while we’re looking at Ryan Garko and Jose Guillen?

I just can’t figure at all what the hell the Phils are thinking this year. They couldn’t afford to hang onto Cliff Lee for 1 year @ $9 mil, but they’re willing to get 2.5 years of Roy Oswalt at $16 m per? What the hell kind of sense does that make?

I thought they dealt Lee because he wouldn’t sign a long term deal? I don’t think they were worried about salary.
The Magic is inside all of us.

LOL with that
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
I'm in line for Adam Dunn
But I would like to see the price tag first.

Yeah, I’m iffy. It better be low considering he’s probably a two-month rental. Sounds like the Nationals want much more than I’d give up. Bumgarner. Yeah, fuck that.

Woo-hoo
Now if someone other than the Giants will just trade for Guillen, Hart and Cantu Sabean will be out of options and unable to make a stupid trade. Although, for the right price I’m okay with League or Ohman.
Giants best trade option: Bowker for Rowand
If the Angels become sellers I wouldn’t mind either Abreu or Matsui as long as the Angels would eat some of that money.

They suck so much defensively though. And I don’t think the Angels will sell.

I like this because I think it’s a bad deal. It worries me though, that Sabean may feel pressure to respond and trade for someone too, probably along the Cantu — Guillen line. Good lord, the deadline can’t come soon enough for me.
