RME JICO Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Jake Peavy will be out at least through the All-Star break and could miss up to 12 weeks with a torn tendon in his right ankle, Padres trainer Todd Hutcheson said. Peavy underwent an MRI on Friday morning at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla that showed longitudinal tearing in the posterior tibialis tendon in his right ankle. The ankle has bothered him since he injured it running the bases against the Chicago Cubs on May 22. Peavy's right foot was immediately placed in a solid, mid-calf high cast that will remain on for at least two weeks and possibly longer than a month. After the solid cast is removed, Peavy will be placed in a walking cast for an undetermined amount of time. The posterior tibialis is the tendon and muscle on the inside of the right ankle that supports the foot. http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/200...s184849/?padres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) First off, remove that abomination from your avatar. Second, it's obvious we dodged one hell of a bullet. I was never for the trade to begin with, but it wasn't that I thought he was injured; I was thinking 2010-11 would be the time for that. Imagine how aggravated we'd be in our position, having given up Poreda/Richard/etc., and then with Peavy's injury being forced to go with Carrasco or some other assortment of AAA crap. If we weren't in the same position now, 5.5 games back, with Peavy on our team, we'd soon fall due to the lack of another pitching option.

Yeah, imagine that, trading for an ace and then having a series of unfortunate circumstances maybe happen in a hypothetical scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 As many hacve said in that Peavy thread and even KW himself.. Sometimes its the trades you don't make that turn out to be the best. Peavy knew about the ankle and didn't wanna screw us over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 12, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) An unfortunate circumstance in a hypothetical scenario which came true. We're better off. Admit it. Doesn't look like it would have happened, but who know, it could have been slowly developing. Peavy, the 2007 NL Cy Young winner, is 3-1 with a 4.43 ERA in four starts since he voided a trade to the Chicago White Sox. The injury occurred while he ran the bases in his first start after the proposed trade. SI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco72 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Of course, he wouldn't have been running the bases if he were in the AL.... The Padres get screwed by this, no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Sox news? I didn't realize Jake Peavy was part of the team. Unless Peavy was pitching for the Sox last night, he wouldn't gotten hurt because it happened while he was running on the base paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The ironic thing is Peavy hurt his ankle in his first game after he declined the trade. If he approved the trade, this injury never happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 It's all academic really though. With Peavy this team still sucks. And in the AL, he becomes a solid pitcher, but not an ACE like in the NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt moving him to the AL would make him much worse. In fact, his first year in the AL, he'd probably have an overwhelming advantage with his electric stuff considering AL hitters have rarely if ever hit against him.

Over the last three years -- Peavy ERA's at home = 2.72, on the road = 3.73. Coming to the Cell that road ERA indicates his home ERA with the Sox would be around 4.00 (just my guess). Also, the AL has superior offenses and is much tougher to pitch in. I honestly think he have a over-3.50 ERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that argument. Peavy's stuff and ability to pitch translates to any stadium against any competition, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone's saying or has ever said that he wouldn't be a good pitcher here, I think it's just a major dispute of whether or not he's an ace here. Yes, players often perform better at home, but Peavy has a bigger advantage at his home than most pitchers. Petco is a huge difference maker. 1) Remove him from Petco, he gets worse because every single other park is harder to pitch in 2) Remove him from the NL, he gets worse because the hitters are better and now he faces 9 of them not 8.
