Just hours from the start of the inaugural Joy in Mudville amateur draft, the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds have swapped pitchers.

The Reds sent minor league pitcher Pedro Borbon to the Padres for starter Pat Dobson.

"We're both trying to improve our pitching," said Dan S., San Diego co-GM. "Giving up a quality starter like Pat Dobson is tough, but we believe Pedro Borbon will be a big part of our future."

Dobson posted a 3-5 record with a 2.51 ERA for the last-place Padres. San Diego has the worst record in the league. The right-handed Dobson struck out 62 batters in 89.2 innings this season. He has made 14 starts.

"This may be the move that leads to a division title," said Tim L., Cincinnati GM.

The Reds (36-26) hold down third place in the National League West. Cincinnati trails first-place Houston by only two games however.

Borbon, 23, was 1-4 with a 3.68 ERA for the Oakwood Comets, the Triple-A farm club of the Reds.
