September 7, 200916 yr Good counterarguments. If Peavy is healthy and a true No. 1 next year, it certainly will be a major plus. We need a Verlander type if we want to take the next step to greatness instead of mediocrity. I hope he's dominant. The rotation should be Peavy, Mark, Floyd, Danks and Freddy, with a good mix of lefty/righty.

Not for strategic reasons, but entirely for emotional ones. Peavy can have MB's spot on opening day when he earns a place in my adoring heart.

September 8, 200916 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 7, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) Richard is 4-1 for the Pods? Me thinks we could have used him on the road trip from hell which only ended our season while Peavy was rehabbing. Now 4-2 in 8 starts. With a 5.40 ERA, 1.700 WHIP, 10.1 H/9, 5.2 BB/9 and 7.0 SO/9 to go along with it. Yeah, he's been awesome. The Padres have scored 5.4 runs per game in his 8 starts and he's gone 6+ IP in 3 of those 8.
September 8, 200916 yr It's pretty cool watching CR, and knowing just how much of his approach came from Buehrle. He works fast as hell now

MB should be our #4 starter next year, but he should get his choice of Opening Day/Home Opener every year he remains with this ball club.
September 10, 200916 yr MB should be our #4 starter next year, but he should get his choice of Opening Day/Home Opener every year he remains with this ball club. No. 4 starter? He's better than that on this staff. Our rotation should be this way and balanced: Peavy, Mark, Floyd, Danks, Freddy if he doesn't get fat this offseason and has a good spring. If not, Hudson.
