Peavy Talk

[Clapp]

I've been worried about Peavy's splits all along, and I've mainly been worried about him because in the few outings I watched of him last year his stuff didn't seem nearly as good as it used to. Like Giff said, I'll be thrilled to have him, but at the same time it's bumping somebody like Lilly out of the playoff rotation for example, and there's no guarantee this guy does better than Lilly. It'd be a great addition, but it's far from a need. If they can afford to do that and get an Ibanez though, then yeah, sign me up.

Losing Marshall is the only thing that worries me as we need 6 starting pitchers because of Harden, who you know they're not going to throw out there every 5th day, even if he's 100%. Even when Harden pitched, Lou loved bringing in Marshall in the 5th or 6th and have him go a few. Who is going to be that guy now? Gaudin? Maybe, but I think Lou's going to want Gaudin cemented into a 6th/7th inning role. Shark? I doubt he makes a start this year. Guzman? He's always hurt, and is he even worth carrying on the roster with how he's performed?

Pie blows, Cedeno blows, Vitters is a drooler, Hart's got a great arm(was hitting 97 consistently in September) and slider, but like Fella I don't think he should be anywhere near our roster next year.
