Peavy
Zambrano
Dempster
Harden
Lilly

Move the order around as you see fit, but that's the most disgusting rotation I've ever seen.

I'm afraid that this news about Vitters will kill the deal, but we'll see...<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


I seem to remember the same thing being said in 2004 when we had a rotation of

Wood
Prior
Maddux
Zambrano
Clement

Where did that get us?

Look, I really have no problem with Peavy...however, I think we have bigger needs than getting Peavy. Does getting Peavy and starting him every 5th day really make us that much better than getting Roberts and starting him at 2nd for 150 games? I personally just think our prospects should be used on something that is a necessity (in Lou's eyes) as opposed to a luxury. Honestly, with our rotation, getting Peavy is a luxury. But Lou believes we have to have a left handed bat, so we may need to use the prospects to get one of those. Hell, why not use the prospects to go hard after Roberts and still sign Ibanez? Those that think that would possibly cut into Derosa's playing time, why couldn't get play a different position just about everyday to keep guys fresh?

Keep Dempster, sign Ibanez/Bradley/Abreu/Dunn, trade for Peavy. Offseason done. Brian Roberts is a luxury considering we have 2 2nd baseman and one of them (DeRosa) Roberts would be a marginal upgrade over.

The only reason anybody wants Roberts is because he's left handed. He's not much if at all better then DeRosa.
