I'd say it's either for Peavy or to use to trade for a RFer. I'd lean Peavy though with Bradley a supposed done deal.

If we don't land both Bradley and Peavy now, or at least if that isn't Hendry's intention, then these deals make very little baseball sense.

If it's Hendry's intention and he doesn't already have the deals in place, then he's a moron. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for the moment.

Peavy
Zambrano
Dempster
Lilly
Harden

That might be the most ridonkulous rotation I have ever seen. It's almost overkill.
