Damn
and i guess the padres must believe in cesar carillo. Horacio might be a decent pitcher too in this huge ballpark, but peavy is a stud #1 pitcher. And then they also give up one of the best relievers in baseball, linebrink. id say this is a questionable move by the padres and kevin towers IF true
Peavy's contract
There is no truth to this rumor. It's like the dozen e-mails a week I get from my friends who are fans of rival teams ... "Hey man, did you here the A's traded Marco Scutaro and minor-leaguers for Barry Bonds??!!" Crap like that.
Common sense...

word just in from sources in the land of rumoria
well, at least it's sourced. did crasnick really say that or not? if he did then it's not the internet's fault.
Weird
3 Years of Peavy + Linebrink for 1 Year of Giles, an oft injured starter (you are referring to Horacio and not Max, right?) and a top prospect?
The only way I think this makes sense if Peavy's shoulder is worse than people assume.
Also, interesting Peavy fact I was unaware of - apparently he's legally blind without contact lenses.

re: trade
With that said, I'm betting Peavy goes on to do very good things for the next three years, HoRam never becomes better than league average (although the park should help him out), and Salty... well, he's an enigma at this point. So I don't see this deal working at well for the Pads, which is why I doubt it'll happen.
However, I do see Giles and Linebrink switching teams soon. The Pads have added arms to their pen and cleared a spot at 2B in the past few weeks, so it seems like they're preparing for such a swap.
If this is true...
Extremely dumb trade
Debunked!
