MLB trade deadline breakdown by division FOX Sports on MSN

"Crazy game," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Broken bats. Funky hops. Choppers in front of the mound." -
PADRES NOTES: Ludwick trade had some pondering future
"I didn't know what to expect," Stairs said. "There's always things going through people's minds of what move we're going to make. It came across my mind. I expected me to be gone. If everyone was healthy, I'd have been gone. It is what it is."

"All in all, the Padres held onto their top pitching prospects and received an instant upgrade to their lineup in Ludwick. The Padres gave up only a fringe #4 or #5 starter in Corey Kluber and a player who was little more than organizational depth in Nick Greenwood. I love this move."
An Impressive Trade Deadline for Hoyer and the Padres
"The feeling of something really special happening here in San Diego is starting to take notice among the fans and the rest of the country."

Ken Rosenthal with a nice breakdown of the Ludwick deal
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/jake-westbrook-trade-works-for-everyone-080210
This was driven entirely by Jed:
“The Padres’ early objective, unbeknown to the Cardinals, was to acquire Westbrook and stick him in their rotation. But they shifted course in the final days before the nonwaiver deadline, telling the Cardinals: If we can get Westbrook, we would trade him and a prospect for Ludwick.”
Corey Brock says Jed told him Moorad told him to do it
Hoyer said Padres CEO Jeff Moorad gave the green light to add salary.
“He’s as competitive as it gets. He wanted to be aggressive at the Deadline. Even after the Tejada deal, one of the first things he said was, ’Let’s go get Ludwick,’” Hoyer said.
via here.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
From what Hoyer has said
It sounds like he set himself up as a broker between St Louis and Cleveland. He said the Cards came to him early looking for starting pitching, so he went out and found them a pitcher, and Ludwick was his fee for getting the deal done.
"This is no ordinary honey!"

Jed worked out the logistics, of course
Major points for his creativity, but this is the first time I can remember an owner of the Padres saying “Let’s go get [name]” and it happened.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
That's awesome
Competitive owner + smart GM is a good combo
Who knows
How the Greg Vaughn deal went down. Or what the story behind getting Sheffield was like. Or who told whom to do what in the Kevin Brown trade. Or Kotsay. Or Boone/Klesko. Or Whatever. But, it still doesn’t change the fact that the everything went right on this one.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Could be it happened and we just didn’t hear about it, but nothing about the Moores era suggests to me any deals happened like that. Maybe my memories are soured by the later years and he was involved enough to know more names than Gwynn and Hoffman. I guess that could be true, but it just doesn’t seem like it to me.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
My feeling is
That early on Moores was every bit as enthusiastic as Moorad. However, Moores was just the President of the organization and hired CEOs (Larry Lucchino, Bob Vizas, Sandy Alderson) and Moorad is the President and CEO.

“Ryan Howard hits a towering homerun, he’s truly got a beautiful swing. Utley should be back soon, man we wish talking about Utley. Is Pedro coming back? He might be. He’s a pitcher. Speaking of pitchers, this is a guy named Heath Bell who threw a pitch to end a game and beat the Phillies. Heath Bell plays for a team in San Diego called ‘Padres’.”

At this point, I almost wonder if he’s just doing it to try to get attention. I don’t know if we should ignore him and see if he goes away, or spam him harder.

Just listened to Venable interview with Darren Smith
Sounds like somone with the Dodgers took offense to Venable stealing in the 7th. Didn’t get into details but sounded like someone in the infield might have said something to him.
Hopefully Latos lets one get away from him against Kemp.

I forget who the genius was that said this first
but a five game suspension is a great way to keep his innings down. I guarantee the team would pick up his fine.

At this point I feel like Morosi is trolling the Padres
Like any good internet troll he will keep doing it as long as he is given attention for it. I am sure he is getting a kick out of all of our bitching. I don’t even really tweet and even I tweeted something about it. For that, I feel like I fail as much as he does. I went for it, hook, line and sinker.

Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Its a lefty starter
I get that part. Hairston is usually not the King of Popups vs. lefties. And in his small sample size he’s hit Lilly well. That makes enough sense to start him over Venable and Stairs.
The only reason Denorfia made sense to start was because he was on a tear earlier. But, all 6 of his HRs were against righties. He’s been getting on base better versus lefties, but the 6th spot is not one where you traditionally look for OBP over SLG.
It would have made more sense to bat Deno 1st than 6th. Of course, it pretty much never makes sense to bat J. Hairston first, so, whatever.
