Player Notes
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.

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.
