Braves Getting Serious about Peavy
The rumors have been abounding about Jake Peavy and the Braves this week and it's looking more and more like reality than a far fetched nicety. Now, you can call me "Johnny Come Lately" if you want and I know you've had enough, but I'm glad to hear that at the very least the Braves are proudly being aggressive enough to go after a pitcher that's making even the Yankees drool.
Long line of suitors for Peavy........

Perhaps you've all seen Phil Rogers' article from yesterday. If not, check it out. Rogers claims the Cubs could have interest in Manny Ramirez. This was purely speculative on his part and that's what makes it so fun. We all love offseason speculation and to dream of the Cubs signing every single free agent we'd want and trading for the best players in the game...

Braves' center fielder Mark Kotsay went on the 15 day DL today after tightness in his lower back kept him out of the last four games and prohibited him from even taking batting practice Thursday. Josh Anderson was called up from AAA RIchmond to take his place.

Mets Should Trade for Peavy !
The Mets have been quiet which makes me believe they are waiting for the pearly gates of free agency to open, after the World Series.
The Mets who have Santana, Maine, and Pelfrey under contract next year, they need another starter. While teams like the Braves, Cardinals, and other teams like the Yankees have been mentioned in possible rumors to explore a trade for Jake Peavy...

Over the past year or so, Indians management had been using Padres starting pitcher Jake Peavy's contract as a negotiation reference with C.C. Sabathia and his agent. Both pitchers were recent Cy Young winners and both are still in their late 20's in terms of age. Of course, by now we all know about the likely wise business decision Sabathia and his agent are making by hitting the...

We Have Given A Name To Our Pain ... Again
Since we're Padres fans, Justin Verlander's no-hitter yesterday got us thinking...about suicide. Once we realized that a jump from a third-floor balcony (that balcony being the handiest at the time) probably wouldn't kill us, we were forced to reconsider our position. Thanks to Buster Olney, it's more likely that you know now the Padres passed on Verlander with the...

February 26, 2008
The Braves have several key decisions before them as they go into the heart of Spring Training. One of the only starting jobs up for grabs is a slot in the left-field platoon. Matt Diaz will take half of the platoon after batting .338 in the 2007 campaign, and it's a battle between Josh Anderson and Brandon Jones for the other half of the platoon.

Personally, I think Towers is going to wait until, at the very least, the GM's meetings in November to get anything "official" done. And, who knows, it could even drag on like the Johan Santana sweepstakes past the owners meetings and deep into winter. So, yes, the rumors are there...but there has been NO announcement of any deal being officially agreed upon sending Peavy to the Braves...so, this post is only speculation until that point.
