Personally, I think in a few years, Peavy's deal is gonna look like a steal (even with the backloading). That's why I still think he's worth the prospects.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I can safely say that there is no way on God's green earth that that 22 million owed Peavy in the final (option) year of his contract will ever be looked at as a "steal" by any rational human being on the planet. In all likelyhood neither will any of his salaries in the 15-17 million range. They might not be egregiously bad, but I have a hard time thinking they will be a steal.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
