Ted Lilly was tagged for six runs in 4 2/3 innings by the Tigers in a loss Wednesday.

Lilly struck out eight and walked just one, but he gave up three homers, two of them coming with a man on base. He's turned in back-to-back poor performances after a fine five-start run over the previous few weeks. His ERA, which was down to 3.98, is back up to 4.63 now. He's not worth playing in fantasy leagues against AL teams.

Ted Lilly allowed two runs on five hits in six innings of work on Monday evening, but got out-dueled by Cliff Lee in Los Angeles' 3-1 loss to the Phillies.

He struck out four and walked one. The quality start was Lilly's fourth straight, while he has now gone at least six innings in eight consecutive outings. He'll get the Rockies in Colorado this weekend.

Ted Lilly struck out eight while allowing two runs in seven innings Tuesday versus the Rockies.

That bests his previous season high in strikeouts by two. With his velocity and strikeout rate down, Lilly has proven vulnerable times this year. However, he has made adjustments. It's probably not going to result in a sub-4.00 ERA, but at least he's looking like a solid starter again now.

Ted Lilly yielded four earned runs over six innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Lilly struck out five, walked two and gave up five hits. The 35-year-old hasn't won back-to-back starts this season after wining seven of 12 outings following last year's trade. There's room for improvement here, especially as Lilly sports a 4.83 ERA. Buying low isn't a bad idea.

Ted Lilly pitched six innings and allowed just one run Friday in a win over the Padres on Friday.

Lilly has been alternating good and bad outings lately, though really, there's nothing too impressive about holding the Padres to one run with the way they're swinging at the moment. Lilly still figures to improve from here. He's not getting as many swings and misses as usual, but that can change.

Ted Lilly was chased for five runs on 11 hits over 4 1/3 innings as part of a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Lilly has allowed at least four runs in three out of his first five starts this season. The good news is that he's throwing just as hard (or soft) as ever before and his secondary numbers are just about where we expect him to be. This could be a good time to buy-low.

Ted Lilly allowed two runs over 4 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision against the Padres.

Lilly came back after the first rain delay of the game, but the Dodgers decided to exercise some caution in the fifth and pull him after 85 pitches. He's still searching for his form after a rough spring and a poor first start against the Giants.

Ted Lilly spun six solid innings Wednesday, holding the White Sox to two runs on six hits.

He didn't walk anyone and struck out five in the outing. Lilly has pitched just three times this spring and has been very good in two outings and very bad in another. What does it mean? Well, nothing, really. He'll be a rock-solid fantasy hurler again in 2011.

During a press conference for the Ted Lilly signing, Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said the team's payroll will be higher next season than it was for the 2010 season.

"We know where it's going -- up from a year ago," said Colletti." At this point, that's all I want to tell you." The Dodgers began the season with an $83 million payroll, down from $105 million in 2009. After the Ted Lilly and Manny Ramirez trades, the Dodgers ended up shelling out around $93 million. The Dodgers have a handful of players eligible for free agency this winter, including Hiroki Kuroda and Vicente Padilla, while Chad Billingsley, James Loney, Ryan Theriot, Hong-Chih Kuo and Russell Martino are all arbitration-eligible.

The deal was reportedly close Saturday, and now it appears Lilly passing a physical, which will happen Tuesday, is the only thing keeping it from being official.

Lilly was brilliant for the Dodgers down the stretch, boasting a 0.99 WHIP and 77/15 K/BB ratio over 76 2/3 innings, and Chavez Ravine is an ideal spot for him with his flyball tendencies.

According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Dodgers and free agent-to-be Ted Lilly are close to terms on a three-year contract.

No idea on the terms yet, but Lilly should be receiving somewhere around $10 million-$12 million per year. He's in an ideal situation for a flyball pitcher in Dodger Stadium, so he should remain a quality fantasy pitcher for at least the next couple of years.

Ted Lilly hurled seven innings of one-run ball to beat the Diamondbacks today.

Lilly struck out nine while walking just two in the outing. He finishes the season with a 3.62 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. At age 35 Lilly won't be getting a very long contract as a free agent this winter, but he's behind only Cliff Lee in terms of current ability on the mound.
