Espn reports: Padilla traded to Rangers for PTBNL... pending physical exam.

YIKES. I really hope they got a good player back for him... He's inconsistent, frustrating, but he's got those undefinable, unteachable "stuff" skills... like a poor man's Matt Clement. The Phillies will be better off without him, but they have to get something good back.

Great news.

Sign Washburn now, to a 2-3 year deal. Then, is it too much to ask Roger to become a Ranger?

Great first step though Texas.

Good signing by Texas... Padilla's a Solid SP and at least gives them a chance to compete. Plus dont forget that they have a healthy and emerging Chris Young to start next year.

Great trade for the Rangers. They get a solid number three (2 on that team?) when healthy. I still dont think the Rangers are done dealing for pitching (Wilkerson or Mench for SP?). Def the right move.

1) Young
2) Padilla
3) Loe
4) Sign Washburn (I am not a fan of his, but I like him better than the alternatives)
5) ????

Benoit :-P

Trade for Batista :-P

Trade for Eaton :-P

Juan Dominguez :-P

Dickey

I would love to see Roger here, even if it means $15M. If it means $20, well, I don't think I would enjoy the price but getting Roger and maybe Washburn would make Texas a favorite in the AL west IMO.

What about Millwood (better than Washburn in my opinion - need the revenue though to get him - perhaps trade some OF's for decent prospects and free up money to get Millwood)

Millwood wouldn't be bad, but I am guessing he will go for more money than Washburn. I do like him better, just don't know if it's several million $ and one or two years longer better.

I give them props for getting a pitcher, but he would scare the crap out of me in Texas. He definately is not the answer, but he is better than their other 4 or 5 options.

Who do you guys think is the player to be named?? I don't know much about what the Rangers have been shopping around, whether they're relievers, prospects, etc...

Philly isn't exactly a pitchers' haven either. But I realize Arlington is likely worse - especially in the heat of the summer.

He is a good first step, I agree he shouldn't be the last and only move they make for pitching.
