Deja Peavy?

According to Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Brewers are rumored to have interest in trading for Padres ace Jake Peavy. Though this is highly unconfirmed and possibly impossible, lets try and break it down a little bit.

The first obstacle is Peavy waiving his full no-trade clause to come and play here in Milwaukee. This probably won't be a big deal, as the Brewers have proven they are a contending team, unless he has some prior injustices against the city.

The second is the ability of Kevin Towers and Doug Melvin to hook up on the content of players coming to San Diego. Towers shot for the moon when he asked Atlanta for the likes of Tommy Hanson, Jordan Schafer, Yunel Escobar, Charlie Morton, Jason Heyward, etc (clearly not all of them, but you get the picture).

Finally, do the Brewers as an organization and us want to give up more prospects/MLB ready players for another picther? Clearly the Sabathia trade worked out well, but as ya'll know, he is no longer with us. Peavy, under contract through 2012 with an option for 2013, is not in the same boat and may require more, as he would serve much more as a rental.

Who would be given up? The name of Gwynn is still sacred in San Diego, but there would obviously have to be much more with him. If the Cubs could sneak by with a package of Josh Vitters and Sean Marshall, the Brewers would probably be able to assemble something.

Poll is flawed. We have what it takes to get it done, but we shouldn’t do it.

Besides, rumor’s false.

That would be the No option.

And this was purely speculation, as it was highly unconfirmed.

How far will this one fly?

and then we do an MLB the Show move by trading hall suppan and cameron to a team with alot of payroll flexibility for a top prospect and two other guys who are all the way on the bottom when u scroll down on the trade player page

I say we trade for Peavy

then surround him with the best talent the KBO has to offer. Starting with all the Lees…except for Derrek. (And, heaven forbid, Derek.)

Also, cheese.

Korea hijack, successful!

I think Ki-Hyuk Park is a better defensive shortstop than JJ Hardy. Discuss.

Also, cheese.

Ki-Hyuk Park?

Is that what we’re renaming Miller Park to?

If the Yankees signed Ki-Hyuk to a multi-year deal

The NY Post would say:

“LONG-TERM PARKING”

Also, cheese.

Ki-Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk!

Jeff

we all know that you’ve got Seoul, and you’re superbad.

I just sit back and root for the taser

by Hyatt on Mar 25, 2009 3:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's correct.

When I lived in Madison, I was in a funk band with James Brown alum Clyde Stubblefield. We didn’t play a lot of Korean music, though.

Also, cheese.

Korea has music?

I thought all they exported was cheap toys and human rights violation reports

I just sit back and root for the taser

by Hyatt on Mar 25, 2009 3:16 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

you didn't see those guys in the crowd with the drums

while everybody else shouted “DAY HA-MIN-GO”?

Only the tip of the iceberg.

Also, cheese.

You have to be stopped. :)

You know who's really good at stopping stuff?

Korean catcher Kyung-Oan Park.

Are you looking for

“weird, but not weird” ?

I was going to point that out but passed

Compulsory also, cheese.

weird is spelled weird

i before e except after c

or when sounded like a as in neighbor and weigh

or when spelling the word weird because well… if there’s gonna be an exception to this weird rule… wouldn’t that be ironic?

i forgot that one

I just sit back and root for the taser

what about “Jim Nabors is way cool?”

by jeffro53081 on Mar 26, 2009 2:13 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I come home and see all this discussion under the Peavy FanPost

And I think to myself “Self, you might get to read some good discussion regarding hypothetical Peavy trades….Sweet!” So I click on the comments, scroll down and BAM!!! It’s like I’ve been transported back to the 50s with all this talk about Korea.

Jeff, if I didn’t know any better I would say you’ve got a little Korean in you.

BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.

I hope you like it

because I’m going to Korea-jack every comment thread between now and opening day :).

We'll call it

“Kim-rolling.”
