I don't think we're better or worse, but I do think we've made a whole bunch of moves for no reason.

Also, there's no way that I believe that all of these moves were made with the intention of getting Peavy, it's too many moving parts. I just don't realistically see Hendry (or anyone) sitting down and thinking "Hey, I need to trade these 6 or 7 guys and replace them with these 6 or 7 guys in order to get Jake Peavy on my roster." That's just not what's happening here.

then what is happening? if you don't think he's doing it to get peavy, then why? if it doesn't make sense in the context of getting peavy, then how does it make sense in the context of trading just to make trades?

You got me, but no sane person shuffles in 12 new faces and ushers out 6 other faces just to make room for 1 guy, that doesn't happen, that's compelte overkill.

but a sane person doesn't do it to make room for 0 people either.
