Did not see this coming at all. Very pleased with the beginning of the Hahn era.

Danks is a 3 now? And is $15 million per year considered Ace money these days?

You mean the one season out of the last 4 where he was actually healthy he pitched well? Amazing!

Part of me feels like we are stuck in a time machine and our moves keep turning out to be keeping our core intact when our core has led us to nothing but middle of the road seasons. However, Peavy was truly a bulldog for us last year and those innings are so valuable. So I have mixed feelings.

I like the signing and a 2-year contract is not a big risk in my opinion. With that said, go get us some bats Rick.

I hope Jake can pitch like he did last year. I don't think anyone would argue he pitched anywhere close to what he earned on his last contract, but here's a new opportunity.
He could have gotten more elsewhere, but he's almost earned $70 million over his career already. I don't think he's hurting right now. Right now it's more about a good fit for him. I think I'd do the same thing. Would I really notice the difference between $100 million and $110 million over my career? I would probably notice that I was a lot happier playing in a place I felt comfortable though.

Robin has to rein in impulse to let the Peave and the Sale to run up high pitch count ballgames; that is the biggest arm burnout cause, more so than total innings over the year. |

Now that Peavy and Floyd are back for 2013,all that Hahn has to do now is sign Josh Hamilton as a free agent and then trade Dunn for a third baseman. Once that is done we can start our magic number countdown for 2013. Other than that I want to wish everyone out there a very Happy Halloween!

This is a good move. I like our rotation now. I like it even better if Danks returns to form, because it means Quintana, Santiago, etc. can battle it out for the fifth starter role. You can never have too much starting pitching.

Good move by the Sox. $14 M a year for a pitcher of his caliber is a great deal and the 2-year deal is just excellent considering his injury history (that is hopefully a thing of the past) and considering what he probably could have snagged on the open market.

Peavy didn't picth "well" last year. He was excellent. $14 M a year for 2 years is a great move for a pitcher of his talent with a very low risk thanks to the short life of the contract. Look around the MLB landscape, where are you going to find a pitcher of his talent sign a deal like this? It's an absolutely fantastic move by Hahn and a real team-first move by Jake. I can't believe there's any negative feedback at all in this thread.

I'm very happy with the move. A good starting rotation will keep you in the playoff hunt irrespective of the strength of the other teams in the division...and make no mistake, the Tigers will come back stronger next year.
Even if this season is disappointing, that contract is highly tradeable as it is both market rate AND gives the acquiring team another year of the player. It looks like Hahn is designing it so that a huge amount of money comes off the books at the same time after 2014. |
