Padilla

I'm not sure I understand the Padilla trade. The potential players to be named later (on phillies.com) don't seem like anything special. And Padilla is a serviceable major league pitcher. I guess it makes sense if you're still going to bring in an ace (Lieber is 2, Myers is 3, Lidle is 4, lots of options for 5), but I'd rather have Padilla as an option to replace Lidle or one of the kids in the 5 slot, or pitch him out of the bullpen.

I've always thought Lidle was the guy to trade, as he's more reliable and an innings eater (I'd rather have Padilla). Maybe he goes midseason when Wolf's timeline is a little more clear.
