Player Notes
March 5, 2010
Vicente Padilla threw two perfect innings in Friday's 8-3 win over the White Sox. He had no walks or strikeouts.

Our View:Padilla should be a quality No. 4 starter for Los Angeles, and will have good enough support to improve upon his 12 wins of 2009.
January 21, 2010
Ken Gurnick of MLB.com is reporting that the Dodgers have signed pitcher Vicente Padilla to a one-year, $4 million deal.

Our View:The $4 million is being called his base salary, so he will likely have the opportunity to make more through incentives. Padilla pitched well after joining the Dodgers in August last season, but considering he has not posted an ERA below 4.46 since 2003, it's hard to believe he will be an impact pitcher next season.
January 17, 2010
Vicente Padilla "remains a candidate to be re-signed" by the Dodgers, according to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times.

Our View:Padilla was dynamite for the Dodgers after joining them late last August, going 4-0 in eight games (seven starts) with a 3.20 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 39.1 innings. Considering Los Angeles' budget constraints, he could be the only free agent starter they can still afford.
December 8, 2009
According to the Washington Post, the Nationals are interested in free agent right-hander Vicente Padilla.

Our View:Padilla, who rejuvenated his career with the Dodgers after putting up a 3.20 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in seven starts last season, would be a nice fit for the Nats. They obviously aren't going after any big budget acquisitions, but Padilla should be relatively inexpensive and would add a veteran presence to a very young rotation.
December 3, 2009
The Cardinals and Cubs are believed to be interested in Vicente Padilla, according to MLB writer Matthew Leach's twitter page.

Our View:Padilla went 12-6 with a 4.46 ERA over 147.1 innings in 2009, and the 32-year-old vet would potentially have a good supporting cast to succeed if either of the aforementioned teams sign him.
