The market

The Padres traded set-up man Scott Linebrink to the Brewers yesterday and got 3 pitchers in return. Linebrink is 31 and was 3-3, 3.80 this season. The Pads got lefty reliever Joe Thatcher, 25, and two 20-year-olds, lefty starter Steve Garrison and righty starter Will Inman. Thatcher was 2-1, 2.08 with 33 K in 21 IP at Triple-A Nashville and will join SD.

If the going rate is 3 players for a Linebrink, the Phils are in trouble.
