Clip Joint said:WTF is Colorado doing? Trading a young player with a cheap salary for an injured vet with a big contract.
Did someone fail to mention to them that they are not exactly in the playoff race?
WildBill said:Is white signed through next year? Maybe they are just clearing cap space. Holliday doesn't impress me much.
I think the Padres make a nice move here. Nevin just isn't quite what they hoped and they cut their losses. They defintely need another veteran starter to at least get to October. Randa will do just fine taking Nevins spot. If Ponson can find himself being back in the NL this move might work out.

Clip Joint said:I agree and posted the same thing earlier in the first thread started about that trade.
This also allows them to move Eaton to the bullpen and replace him in the rotation with Ponson if this trade does go through.
Kojak said:Three trades supposedly just went down.
Ponson (Balt) to SD for Phil Nevin
Randa (Cinci) to SD for 2 prospects
Rondell White (Det) to Colorado for Matt Holliday
This is going to be a wild trading season!
