I'm sorry, but I don't want Peavy if it takes DeRosa. Our pitching is already top 5 in the NL and this only makes it better, but it makes our PROBLEM even WORSE. Offense, boys....Offense.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Agreed. Losing one of our best hitters, who can play literally everwhere and is one of our leaders, for a guy that's gotten destroyed twice in the playoffs, got destroyed in the 07 tiebreaker, and has a 3.80 career ERA on the road when we already have 4 terrific starters? Look, I want Jake Peavy on this team, but giving up Mark DeRosa for him will not make us a better team. Laugh at that all you want but you have to look at our needs, and people underestimate the importance of DeRo's versatility. If Cedeno's going as well, we then need a backup 3rd baseman, a backup 2nd baseman, a backup shortstop, etc. That's why Rich Aurilia's name is coming up and if we trade DeRo, Aurilia's name is not going away.
You lose Wood and DeRo, the players aren't going to like that.
Haugh is even saying the same thing on Tribune Live right now, you cannot afford to lose this guy. And that'll be great, let's make the world champs even better in our own league. DON'T DO IT.

sorry if i crossed the line butch. usually mormons and homosexuals are on the board, but maybe the timing was bad. i pulled a grievous boner.

i'm not thrilled with the possibility of losing derosa either.
