so peavy = vazquez?

 

Peavy has a similar reputation to that of Javy regarding big games, that is true. Now, he's a better pitcher than Javy (even though Javy in Petco would be a pretty dangerous pitcher).

Peavy vs Harden would be nice to see.

 

Just don't throw an inside fastball to Bradley. Peavy faced the Cubs two weeks ago, and Milton hit an absolute bomb off of him. Don't get me wrong though, with everything else I've said aside, it would be exciting as hell to watch Peavy pitch every 5 days.

From Jon Heyman's SI article, http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/base...rade/index.html

 

it sounds like Peavy wants to get his NTC waived for the rest of the contract, and get his option picked up. Can't blame him. It would be hard for Peavy to turn the sox down with all the concessions. Esp. as Peavy could be moved in 2011 w/o his consent. This sounds optimistic to me.

 

"The Padres appear disinclined to provide any major financial inducements to motivate Peavy to accept the deal. Axelrod has suggested in the past that if Peavy were traded, he would like the no-trade clause to be extended through the 2011 and 2012 seasons (in his current contract, it ends after 2010). Although Axelrod said he hasn't spoken to Peavy about the no-trade extension recently, he reiterated that his client's feelings likely remain the same."

I guess we'll see who is more motivated to get this deal done, the Sox or the Padres. Either could kick in some of that option money to placate Peavy.

The Padres really don't have money to be kicking in right now, otherwise they wouldn't be doing this in the first place.

The Padres won't put in money. That's why Peavy has to be traded in the first place.
