Sort of.

I still think the DeRosa trade was a precursor to the botched Peavy deal. But I haven't decided which is worse; that scenario or the "handedness" scenario.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

For my money the lefty thing had to be addressed. I mean we were horrible against the Dodgers. People have been saying we need to get a more balanced lineup around here for years. Fontenot was hitting great at the end of the year last year, and miles gave us a need for a utility guy after Dero was moved. I get that. I do think however, if the Peavy deal had gotten done we'd all have been happy to let DeRosa go.

I think if Harden stays on the DL for any length of time Hendry will figure out a way to get Peavy. Then all we need is Alan Trammels blessing to put Fox at third and we'll be just fine.

Would you rather make the playoffs with a lineup that's all right handed, or not make the playoffs with a 'balanced' lineup?
