The San Diego Padres just acquired Arizona pitcher Ian Kennedy.

Wow. There go the D-Backs. Not sure how much this will help SD, but I'm CERTAIN that it won't help the D-Backs (except MAYBE in the form of the minor leaguer and the pick they got in the deal).

Usually trades within the same division means that the team trading had lost all faith in said player.

Wow. He REALLY fell out of favor fast, didn't he?

Guess we can put a fork in the D-Backs now...

Padres need stating pitching, and playing in a pitcher park should only help Kennedy. On the other hand not sure he is worth 3 players. Thatcher is a Jeckle and Hyde type of pitcher, but my buddy was saying the minor league player wasn't that good. Tack on a draft pick and it seems like a bit much...but apparently not. All in all I think this is just a "meh" trade.
