Nice line from Elbert today. Could be a potential call up as a power lefty in the pen.

Another perfect inning for Elbert today while striking out 2. He is still a long shot for September but he is certainly making a push for a spot.

From Peter Gammons
It is amazing that the Dodgers got Ramirez, Greg Maddux and Casey Blake without having to pay any of their salaries. Of course, one GM says he thinks Carlos Santana -- the catcher they sent to Cleveland -- "is one of the 20 best prospects in the minor leagues right now." And soon lefty reliever Scott Elbert will be in the Dodgers' bullpen.
From the BA chat wrap
anthony allentown,pa: an idea who is on the list of acceptable prospects LA gave to SD for Maddux? Can't be anyone of note, right?
SportsNation Jim Callis: Don't know, but I don't think it's anyone significant.Greg (LA): Manny - a Dodger or somewhere else next year?
SportsNation Jim Callis: Highest bidder, and I suspect that won't be the Dodgers.
