BT - He refused to give up a Triple Crown calibre pitcher for anything less than a top tier package. I don't see how that's a bad move. What package should he have taken that you think he missed out on? The Cubs continued to deny that they ever offered him the farm for Peavy.
Had Peavy not had the NTC and had he not limited Towers' options to virtually the Cubs or nothing, I'm sure he'd have been able to get fair market value for a Cy Young type arm.
I can't see how it is a bad move - unless you had line of sight to him suddenly having a 6.00 ERA.
