Ace Peavy, leadoff man also could be on radar

The only clue Jim Hendry has revealed about his Las Vegas game plan is the well-known fact that the Cubs are searching for a left-handed hitter, preferably for right field.
When it comes to Jake Peavy and a leadoff man, the guessing game takes over.
But as the 2008 winter meetings convene Monday, the only thing for certain is that the general manager is willing to wait for the right left-handed hitter instead of diving in with his wallet wide open, as he memorably did during the winter of 2006.
"We certainly don't feel we're limited in what we have to do," Hendry said. "We're blessed that we don't need five new guys, like we did two years ago. We just need to make a good decision here or there … get creative to move something and get something else."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
