He's happy that the Cubs are starting to play better so when he gets traded to Chicago in a couple months, he'll be going to a good team. i know that peavy is a great pitcher, but shouldn't the cubs have some leverage in any trade negotiations? the padres are clearly going nowhere the next couple of years, and they'll be paying peavy a lot of money to pitch well for a terrible team. plus he has limited the number of teams he will go to. it seems to me the cubs shouldn't have to give up the farm for him. I think you're right, but given the condition of our farm, it wouldn't take much to deplete it... I can't see a deal being done unless Vitters is shipped, for example If you can get a stud pitcher who is under control for a few years and only 27, you don't let Josh Vitters hold that up. Oh, I don't disagree at all.. My primary point is simply that we don't have much on the farm, so it wouldn't take much to deplete it. If we need to do it to get a Peavy, we have to consider it
