1) the fact that a Peavy pick-up looks suddenly really slim.
2) In light of that, giving away Mark DeRosa seems unbelievably stupid.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
hendry and lou want a more balanced lineup. why is this so hard to grasp? derosa was the only righthanded hitter that had value/no no-trade clause/no burdensome contract. THATS why he was traded. basically they exchanged derosa for bradley.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You can have DeRosa and Bradley. In fact, you almost need DeRosa if you're going to have Bradley. Bradley will play in about half of our games and the options to play his position while he's on the DL look grim, at best.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Our options if Aram, Dlee or Harden wind up on the DL don't look too spectacular either. We're fucked if anyone gets hurt really with the way this team is currently built.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well they're obviously going to add somebody like Aurilia. As for Harden, Marshall, Shark, Heilman, Gaudin, and Guzman can fill in for him. I'd just rather have another guy in the rotation that can eat innings. Even when Harden goes, he isn't going to average more than 5-6 innings so you need the other 4 guys to make up for that.
