RockRaines Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:01 AM) I have a hard time believing Flowers would be traded too. We have absolutely no other catching prospects and AJ is getting up there in age. The guy i'm most worried about being included is Brandon Allen Ah, I'd give up Allen for Peavy. If it was Richard and Poreda, who I think of as two pen arms, and a bat who COULD be good, you'd have to do it. Oh and if Getz was included, it would be alot easier now seeing how good Nix could be.

bighurt574 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I assume Peavy would be asking the Sox to pick up his option year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is going to happen no matter what. This trade is like the Cutler deal and the talk about Deng for Kobe. The Sox give up any player that is not named Buerhle or Quentin within the organization that the Padres want and go from there. The guy is 27 years old and an ace that is signed long term.

flavum Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:03 AM) Someone close to Peavy dismissing the trade, per the score Bleh All they said was SI's Jon Heyman talked to Peavy's people and they said Peavy preferred the NL Central--probably the Cubs or Brewers. Ok, we already knew this. Now the question is, will Peavy have a change of heart. He knows he's getting traded in the next two months. HOw does he know the Padres will get a package of players good enough from one of those teams? He doesn't. So maybe Peavy rethinks this and comes to the White Sox. It could still happen.

hogan873 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2009 -> 08:57 AM) Yeah that should translate to 10 more wins. Oh at least. But, then the Sox would have to increase their razor budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have absolutely no other catching prospects and AJ is getting up there in age. The guy i'm most worried about being included is Brandon Allen The Pads have Nick Hundley at C, so I am not sure that position is a priority. Allen would be behind Gonzalez and Kyle Blanks, so that doesnt make much sense for them either. They are week in the middle infield and the OF so I would expect any PTBNL to be from there. The Pads are trying to acquire Yuniesky Betancourt, so a 2B would be appear to be their most pressing need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping he has something else in store, because this deal doesnt look too likely if Peavy is having a bunch of other people communicate that he wants to go somewhere in the weakest division in baseball.

joejoesox Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 you'd have to think other teams have been digging for Peavy with deal scenarios all offseason and up until this point the fact that *this* deal is the one getting reported could mean a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is at this point of the season there are very few teams willing to admit they are out of contention, and of those few teams there are not many impact pitchers available, so outside of Peavy a deal would have to wait for at least a month while the division races continue to shake out.

Not many teams would be willing to give up a Poreda and Richard though, Im sure the Cubs and Brewers dont even have two arms like that to give.

He obviously isn't at his limit. Same with all other trades that don't happen - we will have no idea whether or not there was even a trade discussed, and if there was, what the details were. Therefore, nothing to draw from it really, unless you want to create evidence to support your already existing bias in one way or another (i.e. Kenny is cheap).

RockRaines Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Who are these "people" that these players have that are feeding lines to the media. And why is Peavy so scared to pitch in the AL?
