Would Peavy Play For Yankees?

RED SOX DYNASTY!:
"One more note on peavy.Reports out of Boston talk of sox trading Youkillis (3b) and Bowden for Peavy and then signing Mark Teixeira to replace Youk at first. Sox then trade Buchholz to Texas for Teagarden and CJ Wilson."

Do you have a source on this, or was it just some idiots on WEEI?

I personally cannot see what San Diego would want with Youkilis who will be 30 early next season. Plus, trading Youkilis and then signing Tex blocks Lars Anderson in a season and creates a flexibility problm at 1B/3B when Mike Lowell gets injured or leaves town.

I'd rather spend money on CC or Burnett than give up prospects for a non-essential upgrade to the teams 4th starter. The only position the Red Sox desperately need to upgrade immediately is at catcher and then the usual bullpen stuff.

Also I am going to assume the Red Sox would flat out hang up the phone if SD asked for Lester + more for Peavy. They wouldn't do it for Santana, and now with Lester's emergence as a dominant force in the AL East they definitely wont.

I am enjoying the playoffs. I like how your star Beckett has lost 2 games and allowed 12 runs. I love how the Rays are gonna woop your asses. Oh yeah clay no hit the Oriols while Hughes has won a playoff game and almost no hit Texas but he got injured. Joba had only 12 starts and in 11 of them he allowed not more than 2 runs sometimes 3.

Besides I picked the Phillies to win it all and it looks good right now!

Was there any reason there to call me an idiot? lol. Okay, so I was wrong about Youkilis' age. Big deal. Second of all, how about this. You look at the stats:

Mark Teixeira: .308/33 HR/121 RBI/.410 OBP/.552 SLG in his 6th full season.

Kevin Youkilis: .312/29 HR/115 RBI/.390 OBP/.569 SLG in his 3rd full season.

Youkilis still has room to improve, whereas Teixeira really does not.

Your argument makes no sense. "magical number of 30?" Does that even exist? I've never heard that before... Not too magical.

You're just another arrogant Yankee fan.

guys. what happened with players like ian kennedy, Austin jackson, alan horne, mark melancon,eric duncan , dellin betances, Etc. the list can go on. the yanks have incredible young talent in the farm system. the yanks will get a deal done for peavy, CC, Texeria, or even Manny. so it doesnt neccesarly have to be hughes in a trade.but, if the yanks can leave the offseason with peavy or C.C, and texaria and also have Hughes. i would call the yanks HUGE WINNERS. the yanks need

2 SP
1 1B
1 Outfeilder
even 1 2B (if cano gets traded.).

another pitcher the yanks can get instead of cc, and peavy could be a solid number 2 or 3 starter. pitchers like A.J Burnett, and Ben Sheets.
And who ever mentions Joba in a trade with peavy is stupid. the yanks wouldnt trade Joba in any deal for the next 2-5 years.

RSD, you're just proving the point of what an elitist, arrogant person you are.

"remember these people believe melky=johan and every free agent loves hank and hal."

Now you're just plain lying and insulting. Even the most homerish Yankee fans wouldn't believe that.

Keep your comments confined to your mind. We don't need this garbage flowing around the board.

On the lighter side, wherever Peavy goes, success should surely follow for the team that acquires him. However, the Pads probably won't be trading him until next season, where his payroll substantially rises.

Yes, RSD, one of them will. I'm hoping it's CC, but logic tells me Sheets. I'm guessing that Sabathia signs with the Dodgers or the Giants, and the Yankees sign Burnett and/or Derek Lowe.

"He has been consistently good in the minors, and he has shown flashes of promise in the Major Leagues"

So did David Pauley, but no one considers him a prospect worth trading for. Kennedy's stuff will maybe let him top out as a #4 pitcher but more likely he seems to be a AAAA pitcher. But yes, he won't be a centerpiece. If he's part of a deal he'll be that B prospect that's thrown in to make sure the deal works. In a weaker NL division he could be a very solid number 4, but right now he has virtually no value.

why thank you soxfan93, my favorite insult from him was the lack of a gf thing. It was kinda funny.

"I suggest we all just ignore him"

I'll second that notion.

You know when the red sox won the world seires I thought they'll stop they're bitching but most of them have not. Bome dynasty 6 world series in like 80 years.

Just putting this out there, I'm not an ignorant Yankee fan at all. I'm not putting down Youk because he is an excellent hitter who also plays flawless defense. I was just trying to make a point. I hate ignorant bloggers as much as the next guy.

"After having what is the worst type of injury for a pitcher, rotator cuff, and clearly showing he doesn't have what it takes to be a starter right now, Chamberlain is going back to being a bullpen guy for 2009. Even his own catcher said he doesn't belong in the starting rotation at this point in his career."

Ok i would just like to throw out some ideas. First off, Jobas a starter. has been his entire life and will be to begin the season. because theyre going to want to limit his innings THEN theyll move him into to pullpen later into the season. this was the mistake they made last year and thats why he got hurt. he went from a minor workload to a major load.

I agree Joba does have potential and has shown it with a 2.70 starter ERA. It isnt Girardis fault he's in the pen. girardi wants him to start . The reason they started him in the pen this year is because they thought their bullpen was going to suck ass but it didnt.

"Joba's done nothing but show he's got a man-crush for Youk"

You've said this earlier and I didnt catch it till now. If Youk didn't crowd the plate he wouldn't get hit. Hes as bad as Jeter in hogging the plate. What do you expect with a guy that likes pitching 97 and in and Youk got his whole body over the plate. I would of hit him in the head to tell him to back off.

"I Don't know where to start with this one because neither Lester, Hughes or Chamberlain is a staff ace nor is any of them going to be a staff ace anytime in the near future based on past performance."

1) I've never argued Chamberlain was a staff ace. I've argued so far that he's a very special pitcher and if I was Cashman I'd never trade him for Peavy or any pitcher, even if it means not getting Peavy with another package. It would be worth the gamble, especially if I had to give up multiple top prospects along with him.
2) I've NEVER said Hughes is an ace or even an ace in training. If you bothered to read previous posts I've refered to him as a high risk/high reward acquisition.
3) Lester is the staff ace. The staff ace is the guy you give the ball to an feel confident you'll win. Matz had a great year, but gave every Sox fan a heart attack and most people only counted on him being solid through 5. Beckett's injuries this year also derailed him from this belief. But when Lester had to ball, every Red Sox fan felt confident even before the playoffs.
4) Take it from the Red Sox perspective. Would you trade Lester + 4 or 5 prospects including top prospects for Peavy. If you're answer is yes, you're either an idiot or you just want the Red Sox to lose in that trade.

Only RedSux and Yankmee fans can clog up a message board debating who is more disliked.
