Patience Outbreak
Dodger Thoughts notes Ned Colletti is practicing patience, while WasWatching finds the same thing going on in the Bronx.
Colletti:
Colletti acknowledged the possibility that the deadline could pass without the Dodgers making another significant move to follow their June 27 trade with Tampa Bay, when they acquired left-hander Mark Hendrickson and catcher Toby Hall.
"I'm not inclined to trade away players who I believe can have a strong impact on this franchise in 2007, 2008 and 2009 for a player who isn't going to make a significant difference for us over those last two months and isn't going to be of value to us next year," Colletti said.
Cashman:
"Patience might not be the right word," he says. "We have a game plan, and we're sticking to it. If circumstances present themselves that fall into what we're trying to accomplish both short term and long term, then we'll become very aggressive. If not, we'll pass."
This reminds me, never buy a car the first time you talk to the dealer. The less interested you seem, the better price you'll get.

i think those two teams are perfect trade partners with drew going to the yanks for any type of prospect and dodgers just promoting one of their many stud minor league players
I could've used that information last week.
After the way the Dodgers got ripped off in their earlier trade and the way the Reds blew their trade, I think if I'm the fan of a contending team I'm rooting for no action.
