One would think that Yunel Escobar is now prime Jake Peavy trade bait, provided the ATL and Pads can get together on the minor leaguers.

Pad's CEO says that Peavy trade talks are off, which probably means that he's working the phones right now.

He's working the phones in search of the next ex-Mrs. Pad's CEO.

They're saying Furcal will play second. That's a damn good middle infield right there.

I thought Furcal's fielding strength was always his arm?

I thought that was LF, with Francoeur in RF? Or are they making Johnson available?

Buster Olney reports Furcal has reached a preliminary agreement with the Dodgers.
