<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->The sale could give the Padres the financial stability to take Jake Peavy off the market. Peter Gammons wrote today that Cubs GM Jim Hendry "hasn't given up" on Peavy.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Ok, so that answers the questions about the DeRosa trade, Hendry is still planning to get Peavy. The question now is, do the Padres even want to trade him anymore?

This is very good news, like you said, Hendry did have something up his sleeve by unloading DeRo.

Did you really think otherwise?

I didn't think otherwise, but then again I didn't want to get my hopes up. Because we all know how it goes with this team and getting hopes up.

I do realize that Cedeno and Pie kinda... suck. But I don't think they suck so much that another team wouldn't take a chance on them. Teams could like Pie's speed, and Cedeno played a decent back-up role last season compared to how he played in previous seasons.
I dont think you can judge Guzman yet because hes just been injuried too much to show what hes made of.
As for Marshall... I think hes shown he can be reliable at the ML level.
