The likelyhood of Peavy

hendry and lou want a more balanced lineup. why is this so hard to grasp? derosa was the only righthanded hitter that had value/no no-trade clause/no burdensome contract. THATS why he was traded. basically they exchanged derosa for bradley.

You can have DeRosa and Bradley. In fact, you almost need DeRosa if you're going to have Bradley. Bradley will play in about half of our games and the options to play his position while he's on the DL look grim, at best.

Our options if Aram, Dlee or Harden wind up on the DL don't look too spectacular either. We're fucked if anyone gets hurt really with the way this team is currently built.

Well they're obviously going to add somebody like Aurilia. As for Harden, Marshall, Shark, Heilman, Gaudin, and Guzman can fill in for him. I'd just rather have another guy in the rotation that can eat innings. Even when Harden goes, he isn't going to average more than 5-6 innings so you need the other 4 guys to make up for that.

Yeah; except that we have like 8 studs that it would suck to lose and we can't replace. Most teams have 2 or 3.

I guess you have a point... I'm just a little concerned about the lack of talent in our minors at this point. Ever remember a season when we haven't had to call someone up due to an injury? We've got very little help to count on in the position player department

exactly. the way our team is set, we have a current or recent all star at catcher, 1st, 3rd, left, and right. we have two in the rotation and our closer. thats 8 current or recent all stars. plus, both our 2nd basemen and our shortstop batted over .300. reed johnson was actually good last year, which i think some of you forgot. our #3 guy is all star calibre and our #4 is maybe the best #4 in baseball. our bullpen is solid.

and to boot, it's only january. even if we make no more moves by opening day, i guarantee we will at the break.

OK...so its obvious,to me at least , that this Peavy deal isn't gonna happen.Same way it was obvious last year that the Roberts trade wasnt gonna get done.Just call it another gut instinct or educated guess or whatthefuckever..........

I'll expand on my original question that started this thread..

Now what?
Who would you prefer as the #5 starter?
Marshall would have to be my choice as of right now.
I dont forsee any other pitchers being added.

Thoughts?
fire away.
A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

Yeah and in our division, we can afford to come out of the gate slowly. It sounds like the rest of our division is done shopping for anything significant, and none of them appear to be over an 80-85 win team at the moment. If it's not working, we'll make a move. We'll also have the ownership situation solved by then and might have some more money to work with if necessary.
