July 22, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 12:54 PM) Shouldn't Peavy's value be closer to James Shields' rather than Matt Garza's? Quite a few people think the Royals should have never included Wil Myers in that deal, so it just depends on whether you are among the group that counts that trade or chalks it up to Dayton Moore being an idiot
July 22, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 02:54 PM) Shouldn't Peavy's value be closer to James Shields' rather than Matt Garza's? Maybe. The Shields deal was a universally accepted overpay though, and Peavy has 3 years and at least 3 DL stints on Big Game James as well.

I jsut think that should be closer to what the Sox should seek and ultimately accept than what the packages are for Garza. You get Peavy another season and a draft pick. Garza has missed a lot of time himself recently. They wanted to trade him last season but couldn't.
July 22, 201312 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) I don't understand all the love for Eaton. What's his upside? We already have Tekotte if we need good defense with no bat. Owings, though. Yeah. That's a joke, right? We're talking about the young OF, not the retired pitcher.

Owings, though. Yeah. It might be the .350 batting average over 1300 MiLB ABs....or it could be the .450 OBP. Maybe, rather, it is the .950 OPS. The 46 doubles in AAA might be it....or maybe the love comes from the 38 SB. Why the love for Adam Eaton? No chance of any of those skills translating to the MLB from AAA ball. No way.

Yeah -- it's just so tough to compare markets at different times. The value of Garza/Peavy has so much to do with timing and availability. There's a whole different set of teams with a whole different set of season outlooks now versus in the offseason.

July 22, 201312 yr I think Wong is the lowest risk, lowest ceiling player of the bunch. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
July 22, 201312 yr Garza scratched tonight. likely deal to rangers. per rosenthal.. sorryy cant copy twitter link on cell

July 22, 201312 yr Heard it too just now. Crap . Yeah, it's bad that Texas is out as a suitor, but that's one more arm off the market with 9 days until the deadline, so it could be good, especially if the Cubs got a good haul.

Do work Rick Hahn lets go.
July 22, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) Great post but AZ isn't moving Eaton. Kubel might be moved out to make room for Eaton. We'll see how badly they want an ace, then. Not that we can't work something equitable out without him, lots of good players in high minors for AZ which makes them especially attractive.

Lol, I don't know why I felt like I remembered him being a low-ceilinged guy that was surprising people by being rosterable last year, I must have had him mixed up with someone else. I just took a look at his numbers in the minors and was obviously mistaken.

I just took a look at his numbers in the minors and was obviously mistaken. I mean, being a little guy seems to put a ceiling on you, but the production in the minors has been remarkable
July 22, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 8m Sources: Garza will not pitch tonight for #Cubs, deal with #Rangers near. That is 3:47 CST. UGH!
July 22, 201312 yr Even With Texas off, the only guy who made sense was SS Sardinas. The sox could easily hold onto Alexei and deal Peavy for an OFer or 3b. And fill out other spots with Crain, Rios, et all.

July 22, 201312 yr I'm actually glad Texas is out as a partner. They had a lot of really interesting lower level prospects, but there is a ton of risk in those guys. I think the Sox can get better deals for Peavy from either Arizona or Boston with more MLB ready prospects. Plus, Peavy is officially the top SP on the market now if the trade is official, so it can't hurt his trade value at all.

But yeah, with Garza gone, Peavy is literally the only front-end pitcher available. Should be a good position to be in now.
