I've always wanted to start a poll.

 

I went with Jake because starters are always needed and is under contract for next year.

Edited by Brian

I'd guess Keppinger because he is heating up at the perfect time, has the ability to play multiple positions, and will not be expensive to trade for (if the team trading for him takes on his whole contract). Rumor or not, the Yankees do seem like a likely destination as they need the versatility and they were one of the teams trying to sign him in the off season.

I vote Lindstrom because he's not on your poll.

Crain's gotta go first. Trade him while his value is sky high. No contender can say no to a shutdown setup man with an ERA under 1.

I think Crain could get traded in the next 10 days. I don't see the Sox waiting it out until the end of July.

Yeah, I think some smart team will realize they can get an extra month out of Crain by making their solid offer right now.

Crain seems first to go.

I've always been a winner :)

Who will be gone next?

 

I'm thinking Lindstrom. His value could go down a bit with a few bad outings.

He is due $250,000 for the rest of this season. He has a ton of value just for that reason.

Ill go with Peavy shortly after his next outing

I think teams will wait 2 outings before they would make a trade for Peavy.

 

#1) See how he looks

#2) See how he recovers

 

Personally, I don't think Peavy is going to be traded. I'd be content being wrong, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Garza will be gone by this weekend -- hopefully to someone we don't want to trade with anyway like the Indians. The timing will be perfect for Peavy to come in and make a quality start against the #Barves and look like a SEXY pick-up for all the teams that missed on Garza. Let's just hope he looks good. I really think we can get a good haul for him if he does.

I don't expect much from Peavy in his 1st start especially if it's hot outside. Hopefully 5+ innings and 2 or less runs.
