Jake Peavy: Available.

[Mephistopheles]

Obviously, we won't get him. Obviously, he doesn't have to be moved. Obviously, the Yankees will take note, big time.

For the price they're going to want for him, I'm not so sure I would want him.

 

Pitching Splits:

Home: 5-5, 1.74 era (.205/.263/.263/.526)

Away: 5-5, 4.28 era (.258/.340/.443/.784)

[Mephistopheles]

I know, I mean it's not like Jake Peavy's road ERA has been under 3.00 three of the last five seasons or anything.

[Derwood]

Cubs don't have the pieces to move for him.

 

That won't stop a dozen people here to offer Cedeno, Hoffpauir, Wuertz and Veal

take Cedeno out...that's giving up too much.

This is an outlier

 

2004:

Home .631 OPSA, 2.21 ERA

Road .698 OPSA, 2.33 ERA

 

2005:

Home .633 OPSA, 2.81 ERA

Road .636 OPSA, 2.98 ERA

 

2006:

Home .672 OPSA, 3.75 ERA

Road .772 OPSA, 4.57 ERA

 

2007:

Home .581 OPSA, 2.51 ERA

Road .588 OPSA, 2.57 ERA

 

He's been really good regardless of where he pitches.

My bad- I didn't look the past couple of years.

seriously?

[SweetZombieJesus]

How about Pawelek, Grant Johnson, and Ryan Harvey?

 

Seriously would Vitters, Castillo and any pitcher in the system be enough as a opener?

You can't be serious about that offer as being an opener. Pie, Marshall, and those three might get their attention.

It'd probably take Soto to get the ball rolling.

He said as an opener. If Vitters, Castillo, pitcher, Pie, Marshall is merely the opener, we might be trading the most players in a single deal ever.

Article said that Peavy recently stated he wouldn't wave his NTC for any AL team.

My point is that Vitters, Castillo, and a pitcher wouldn't even be considered an opener for Peavy. When you look at the deals made for Santana, Bedard, Sabathia, etc. and then figure in the fact that the Padres aren't desperate to trade him, he's not a free-agent-to-be, and he's 27 years old, the price would be staggering.

I know that rotation order is pretty meaningless, and this isn't necessarily directed at you specifically, but why do people also put Zambrano as the "number 1" starter. Peavy is definitely better than him, and Harden is most likely better than him. Against this isn't a big deal but people always list our rotation starting with Z.

[BigbadB]

All hell breaks loose in San Diego if they traded Peavy.

 

But heck, I'd make them this offer:

 

Felix Pie, Ryan Theriot, Jeff Samardzija and Sean Marshall.

 

The Padres focus next year will be on cheap talent that is major league ready and speed. They seem to like Nick Hundley behind the plate. They really like Headley.

 

RF - Gerut

CF- Pie

LF- Headley

3b- Kouzmanoff

SS- Theriot

2b- Antonelli

1b- Gonzalez

C- Hundley/Bard

 

SP- Young

SP- Marshall

SP- Baek

SP- Banks

SP- Estes, a cheaply resigned Maddux or crappy free agent signing

RP- Samardzija

Looks like you have them trading Greene if they put Theriot at SS.

Does it though? Do people actually pay much attention?

[anabiono]

wow...

 

pie, shark, hill, vitters, veal, gallagher

Gallagher?

They pay attention enough to NOT pay to go to baseball games when they have been cheated for the final time.

 

San Diego had fire sales before. But, they were in Qualcomm where you could tailgate before games, pay a fairly cheap price for an MLB game whether the team was good or not, and Qualcomm was centrally located with easy access before and after games.

 

Petco eliminated tailgating and cheap entertainment. It's difficult to get to and parking is atrocious. It's not centrally located and people will not pay the price to see a bad baseball team. How much did attendance fall this year from last year? I don't have those stats in front of me.

 

Everyone here knows Moores is getting divorced, and they are making the fans suffer for it by trading off all the best players to fund his split.

[anabiono]

Gallagher?

 

yeah, i was just thinking billy could give us a little payback for handing us an alcoholic bullpen arm a few months back

[BigbadB]

Padres attendance figures were down by 300,000 this year. Trade Peavy, and it gets real ugly, IMO.

Sure, but coming off a down year, it's going to be bad again next year anyway. They need to rebuild anyway and smaller market teams have a tough time affording expensive starting pitching.

 

The winning and losing matters a lot more than name players.
