Tomko gives up a very high batting average, especially to right-handers. The Padres DER is much better than the Dodgers, so that might turn around with playing in San Diego.

... -P- The Padres have acquired Brett Tomko. Basically, the Padres dumped David Wells and the Dodgers dumped Tomko to make room for him; now the Padres have acquired Tomko. The grass is always greener, I guess. Personally, I don't see much immediate hope for either of them.
