I was looking for an update on Downs, here's the latest:

Scott Downs (finger) will see hand specialist Dr. Gary Lourie on Friday.

Downs hasn't pitched since he fractured the tip of the ring finger of his non-pitching hand while attempting to field a comebacker last Saturday. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said that the southpaw was optimistic about pitching at some point this weekend, but we should have a better idea about his status after his checkup.
 
Kennedy's been OK vs us in Phoenix but not at the Ted. And the other two starters for the Pad this weekend are rookies who haven't exactly set the world on fire. I think sweep here, unless Hale is bad. Padres on the road is a nice way to get your first major league start, they ain't much on offense.
 
Looks like we won't be seeing Stasburg next week, scratched form his start tonight vs the Phils and they're going to give him at least a week .Forearm tight. Gio and Zim scheduled for nest two games so we'll see their back end guys, and Haren.
 
Elliot Johnson = Fredi's new toy.

Addition to the earlier scouting report on Hale...

He's got either a girlfriend or sister that's a knockout.
