The Critic Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 28, 2008 -> 04:02 PM) Congrats to the Brewers. Really glad to see them not choke again this year. Lou must fear the Mets. There's no other reason to have Gascan Howry face Ryan Braun with a game on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really glad to see them not choke again this year. The Ryan Braun home run in the 8th was as great a case of theatre as you'll ever see in the regular season. 26 years is far too long to wait to go to the playoffs, the Hebrew Hammer wasn't even born the last time they made the playoffs and he was the man that hit the homer to put them in today. I'm glad they made it. Edited September 28, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The North County Times reports that the Padres have made Jake Peavy available in trades. Peavy is just 10 months removed from signing a four-year, $52 million contract extension, but a 99-loss season can make a team do funny things. "This was a different year than last year," general manager Kevin Towers said. "You're arguably talking about moving one of the top pitchers in the game. But it's not a 100-percent given. Nothing is imminent." It'll be interesting to see what type of market there is for Peavy given that CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Ben Sheets are all free agents.

All three of those FAs are likely to sign for more money than 13 million a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Peavy should command a whole hell of a lot. He's in his prime and signed to a well below market value contract.

Yeah that's why I have a hard time believing Peavy will go anywhere for a couple of years. The Padres would be foolish to trade him, IMO, a young guy who is an Ace, signed to a great contract. Why would you take that away? Prospects are prospects, here you have an ACE at only 27 years old. You should be building around him not trying to trade him.

Injury has to be a concern for anyone courting Peavy. I would want every test done on his elbow before I completed a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be building around him not trying to trade him. I think it has more to do with the team being so far away from being competitive. They have a poor farm system and are really just in a mess. Moving Peavy is probably the quickest way to help the rebuilding process and I wouldn't be shocked to see Adrian Gonzalez moved as well (even though he is a young player as well).

The only thing "well below market value" about Jake Peavy's contract is the years (3), he's the 3rd highest paid pitcher in the history of the game in terms of average annual value of a multi-year deal at $17.333M. Count his $11M '09 team option and he's being paid $15.75M over the next 4 years which drops him to the 4th highest paid ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
