I think some thought should be given to just sitting him for 15-30 days and than trying some more AAA starts. Coming back so early may have been too taxing on the arm and a break from any activity may do some good. It can't hurt?

I have a gut feeling that we not only end up completing the deal...but end up giving the Pads less in return and finding a middle ground with Jake on concessions. I just don't see any other player coming to the table in the next few months that can get the deal done. The Padres will be desperate to find a suitor and Jake would like to improve his status for future years. Unless a deal for another top line starter is done before the deadline, I think Kenny gets this done in the days preceding the trade deadline.

Out of all the KC rejects we've gotten over the years, I think this one is the cream of the crop. After todays wonderful outing (his 2nd lousy one out of only 3 appearances), the ERA is currently 18.90.....sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I could throw underhanded and do better than than this. Its time to fry this turkey or stuff his ass and stick him a 350 oven....one way or another, just get him out of town.

ESPNNews just promo-ed the fact they will talk about other trades the White Sox may make if the Peavy trade goes through.....should be an interesting discussion after the commercial break.

Peter Gammons comments on espn.com sound very promising (the audio portion of this link).... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4191562

It appears that a full trade clause is indeed one of the largest concessions being sought.....

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 21, 2009 -> 01:19 PM) I guess if there's ever a day to be down 10-0 to a division rival its today. I really need us to come back though....I badly need a save from Jenks on my fantasy team today.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ May 21, 2009 -> 12:32 PM) I respectfully disagree. The San Diego zoo has the cute chick with the parrot that talks to AC Slater on "Pet Star." So if we can get the cute chick and the parrot transferred to Brookfield zoo....do you think the deal is done?

Levine just stated on ESPNNews that Peavy wants the limited no trade clause extended through the contract in addition to guaranteeing the final year (and possibly turned into a full no trade clause).

Obama's a Sox fan....can't he just give the team a $22 miilion bailout to get this deal done??

When your packing a suitcase, theres no time for the gym!

Remember....there's a $4 million buyout there as it currently stands.....so it would only be guaranteeing an additional $18 million (still not a bad salary for a true ace in todays game)

I think the Sox had to see this coming.....its a common request when players waive a NTC. If we aren't prepared to guarantee that final year, I don't think discussions would even have begun. To me, this news is encouraging.

We need to show a couple hot chicks at the game (wearing skimpy outfits) that are holding a sign which reads "free BJ's for guys named Peavy" (just make sure Jake's wife isn't watching the game with him)

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ May 21, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) I bet Hawk and Steve are under direct orders to talk up how good the White Sox are and how winnable this division is today in hopes Peavy is watching. They need to talk up the city more than anything.....how good the restaurants are, how nice the weather is, the quality of skools, the hotness of the pusssy, etc.

I wish we could get the crowd at the Cell today to start chanting PEEEEAAAAA--VEEEEEE PEEEEEAAAAA-VEEEEEE Let him know how much of a god he'd be wearing the black and white.

Anyone think the Sox might be trying to arrange a conversation between Ozzie and Jake? (Or would this be against league rules?)

I want this done now....but I understand how he's taking some time to think about it. He's considering where he's going to live (and work) for the next several years. I just relocated at the beginning of the year and it took me nearly two weeks to make the decision and accept the offer. Lets hope it doesn't take that long....but if he really looks at all the good benefits of being a White Sox, I think he'll make the right decision in a day or two.

I hate Dick Cheney.....he's keeping our prez focused on Gitmo when he should be calling Peavy to finalize this deal! http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/21/oba...eech/index.html

Quick....someone get him an Italian Beef sandwich and a deep dish pizza to enjoy while he contemplates his decision

Too bad we didn't hang on to MacDougal....he could have been part of this deal!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:10 AM) Kenny should mention that we will be moving our fences back 5 feet next season..which I would love to see. Just ask Peavy how far he wants them moved back....I'm sure we can accomodate!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 21, 2009 -> 09:03 AM) CJ is a good player and has been playing well. Appartently Peavy called Linebrink last night and received nothing but good feedback from him about our team. I used to think Linebrink was overpaid a bit....but he's earning his salary today!
