To both sleepy and Fella - like I said, I wouldn't be unhappy at all if we got Peavy. I wouldn't even say I'm really "against" this, just that maybe it's not the best uses of our resources. Assuming Marquis gets traded as well, we would then have created two holes (lefty reliever/swing man and backup shortstop) to fill a hole that we don't have (starting pitcher). Obviously starting pitcher is more important, but I could see this potentially creating a depth problem when we don't have the resources to fill those two holes we created.
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
