PT TOMORROW: NL West—More movement in SD?

San Diego Padres

The looming trade deadline and San Diego's status as bona-fide sellers has already resulted in departures for Chase Headley (3B, NYY) and Huston Street (RHP, LAA). Reports out of San Diego indicate the team may not be done quite yet, as there has been heavy interest in new closer Joaquín Benoit (RHP, SD). Should Benoit be dealt, there a few viable alternatives in San Diego's bullpen. The following group is ordered by Leverage Index (LI), which estimates the amount of leverage in the game situation when a player appears in relief:

Player       IP   LI    ERA  xERA  Dom  Ctl  Cmd  GB%  SwK  BPV

Quackenbush  28  0.98  2.57  3.19  9.3  2.6  3.6   39   8%  115...
