Peavy, in contrast, is a No. 2 starter with a No. 2 starter's contract. He's making some bucks, sure, but he produces when he's on the field. The injury complicates matters, but at least it's not an arm injury. If Hahn can't get real value for Peavy now, he should hold him until the offseason. If Peavy comes back healthy and throws well the second half, trade him in December.

I'm OK with this trade- between Thornton's age, contract and his performance this year- anything of value is acceptable to me.
Our overall outfield talent in the minors is a disaster- so sounds like we've improved the situation by addinng this guy. To be 22 and spend most of the season in A ball isn't a good sign- but since our minor league system is in such poor shape- this is still an improvement.

Through his first nine starts this year, Peavy was 6-2 with a 2.97 ERA. Is that not No. 2 starter material? I believe it is. His last two starts, during which he went to the mound injured, he was 0-2 with an 8.53 ERA. Twelve of the 32 earned runs he's allowed this year were in his last two starts before he went on the disabled list. Coincidence? I don't think so. Peavy pitched well all of last season and his first nine starts of this year before he got hurt. Then, he had two awful outings. Peavy has 66 Ks in 67 IP this year. He's a top-of-the-rotation starter who still misses bats regularly. I completely disagree with you. He has been pitching like a No. 2 starter for quite some time when healthy. The only question mark with Jake is his health. His performance on the mound is hardly an issue. |

Can't argue with finding a taker for a situational lefty who's being paid as a closer. Donnie Veal can LOOGY in his place. Good business decision (no objection to calling it a salary dump) and got a middling prospect in the bargain.
No longer dreading him gas-canning the 7th or 8th. I'd do it every day and twice on Sunday.

Not really. This was a straight salary dump. The guy they got back won't ever sniff the majors.

Not if he's on the 40 man roster. There should be plenty of room once the fire sale is done.

The guy is actually hitting better as of late. He's a boom/bust, but he has some skills. |

Peavy is too good a pitcher to just give away. There's nothing that says he must be traded. |
