I wonder if Bill Plaschke only gets paid when he pumps out Paul DePodesta-bashing articles.

In this article, he bashes the Penny & Choi for LoDuca, Mota, & Encarnacion trade depsite conceding the Dodgers got the best player in the trade. (This trade happened 2 years ago, and he's still talking about it!)

And even the biggest DePodesta hater has to admit that blaming DePodesta for the downfall of Eric Gagne is stretching things.

Plaschke assumes that Mota's presence would've helped Jim Tracy manage Gagne more effectively, and that Tracy's mismanagement led to Gagne's injury problems.

Because for some reason Plaschke can't blame Tracy, Gagne, or the Dodger medical staff for Gagne's injury problems.

He already got DePodesta fired over 8 months ago. What more does he need?
