My Briefest Infatuation

So much for that idea.

Padres acquired outfielder Dave Roberts from the Red Sox for outfielder Jay Payton, infielder Ramon Vazquez, RHP Dave Pauley and cash.

I'm waiting for Nats news, either arbitration stuff or Cropp stuff, but nothing so far. We re-signed T.J. Tucker, but I'm not going to pretend I have an opinion about it. Two points about our remaining arb-eligible players: 1) Tomo Ohka is a better pitcher than everyone thinks he is and B) if non-tendering Tony Armas saves us enough money to pick up Odalis, let it be done.
