Jake Peavy Is Apparently a Member of the White Sox

Until we hear directly from Jake Peavy himself, I'm going to assume that he has approved the trade. As you'll recall, the White Sox traded for Peavy earlier this season, had the names leak out, and hung in the wind for a day while Peavy decided the he didn't want to pitch in the AL. I don't know what's changed, if anything at all, but everyone is reporting this as if it's a done deal. Sox get: Jake Peavy (have to rely on Carlos Torres as 5th starter until Peavy's healthy) Padres get: Aaron Poreda, Clayton Richard, Adam Russell and Dexter Carter, per Mayo. Edit by larry at 4:01: Lillibridge has been called up and will be in uniform tonight.

We are looking at Peavy, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks for next couple of years guaranteed…..how can you not like it?
Poreda—garbage
Richard—eh….
D Carter….well who knows
Russell….so what
I like it as well
Don’t know about Poreda being garbage, but I don’t care about Richard…he’s back end filler. Like you said… Hudson> Carter, so that’s fine… Russell is obviously a who gives a fuck?
Yeah, this pretty much could rule.

Scott Linebrink:
maybe just made his biggest contribution to the Sox……assuming he helped convince peavy to come here.
Early weigh in...
I think it is a great deal, if we make a nice run in these next 2 years. The only person i am worried about amounting to much is Poreda. But we are getting a when healthy cy young candidate. This is a fantastic deal in my eyes.
It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

So what happened between the last offer and this one, to make Peavy change his mind?
I am not upset to get Peavy because I’m all for great pitching and our tradition of putting the best SPs out there should continue.
But what about now?
Seems like this is a blatant “fuck ’09.”
Both sides left the door open when it happened.
I think Peavy finally realized no one else was going to make it happen, so he took the best option he could get.

Guess I need to brush up on the minor league thread.
Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Maxima mea culpa!!!
The more I think about it
The only way this is a fuck 09 is if richard is pitches really well from here on out… and in that case the whole trade looks worse for us. So I’ll just assume richard wasn’t going to keep pitching like ozzie had a chainsaw to his junk and its all great.
Going on the DL

I do my best to trust Kenny Williams implicitly.
But my gut reaction is one of disapproval.
Maybe he’ll prove my ass wrong yet again. I sure as hell hope so.
Ed Farmer: "Is it raining in here?"
Steve Stone: "I've made an egregious mistake."
what are you sad about losing?
Peavy > Poreda
CR = a 4 or 5 at best
Dex Carter…no one really knows, but Hudson is the keeper there.
Russell = trash
Everybody wins!
Yeah
But all the guys we gave up are cheap. Peavy costs a ton and is currently injured (?). Not to mention he pitches in one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in baseball.
"...but the devil lives inside this kid, I swear it. It rises out of him in a mist, this baby-faced defiant wrathful version of Pat Kane, escapes his bodily confines to perform satanic miracles all over the offensive zone. The only thing more fearsome than that assist was the keep-in preceding it. The only thing more unholy than his face is his black magic." GMH

What do you folks think is going to happen to Peavy
He’ll melt in the Cell? Come on people.
"Oh well back to work"
His home/road splits don't inspire a ton of confidence
But, the haul isn’t as huge as everyone is making it out to be. Richard was done a mere month ago, Poreda is the guy that will hurt, but he’s a few years away from making his impact felt.

half those road games in one big time pitchers park, two in big time hitters park, and one right in the middle. kind of would expect a bit of a split, no?

Well, if you're going to use logic and everything, fine

Not saying he's heading for a 5+ era

How do you figure?
Recommend you look at his actual record.
This year is inconclusive. He’s an even .500 home and away. His era is higher away, but not by much (3.58 vs 4.60) for the sample size.
Last year, he was .500 or near both home and away. Sure, his era and homers were 2½ to 3 times higher away, but his walks and strikeouts per game were similarly disproportional, numbers that should be home/away neutral.
In ’07 he was 10-1 away, 9-5 home, with the same 2.5+ era h/a.

We Gotta Remember
Peavy got hurt on the basepaths this year. No risk of that happening now, so a greater possibility of him staying healthy no batting or running the bases in the wonderful AL.
Apparently he was an up-and-coming hitter before he got hurt
Maybe in his own mind.
He hit .265 last year, .233 in ‘07. Probably gunning for z’s batting crown.

If you really think what we gave up
Poreda: I just don’t seem him being a starter with his breaking stuff. A poor man’s Thornton
Richard: A 4th, 5th starter
Carter: who knows
Russel: not good
Now think what we now have: the best rotation in our division for the next two years.
fucking dome
Have to say, I like this deal.
Yes, there’s the risk that Poreda and Carter turn into valuable pitchers who’ll be cheap for half a decade (and maybe, just maybe Richard sustains what he’s done over the past week), but how many of the prospects Kenny’s dealt over the years flourish? To get a still pretty young Cy Young-caliber pitcher back who is under control for several years is an impressive feat. (And to do it for a lot less than Halladay would have fetched — both in prospects and salary after next year — makes this the most notable deal in baseball this week.)
Just got off phone re: Peavy. Told: "Best case? August 15, but that's pushing it. Really pushing it. Hasn't even started throwing for real."

Are you guys crazy. Our rotation is now Buehrle, Peavy, Danks, Floyd!! That may be the best rotation in baseball. Yeah it hurts us a little this year, but Peavy is locked down until 2013! And who knows what Richard and Poreda will do? One things for sure, it’s highly unlikely either of them become a Peavy. And we kept probably our best pitching propsect (you could argue Hudson vs. Poreda). Thumbs up for me.

I know
but they’re cutting at least $60 mil (or something like that, can’t remember the exact figures) in future years. That should help enough. Considering he’ll barely pitch for the Sox this year, I think they’d cover most of this year’s salary.

Peavy has actually won 2 more games away than he has at home in 10 less starts
His ERA and WHIP are substantially higher in away games.
His best months in terms of winning percentage have been August and September. Worst are June and July. Besides those 2 months he’s above .600 in all the other months.
Winning percentage is a trivial stat when you play for the Padres.

solid
this is a fantastic move… we trade 4 players that will never be Peavy for Peavy. Richard’s ceiling is probably a 3. Poreda could be a 3 or a Matt Thornton-type. Meanwhile, Kenny got us a 28-year-old Cy Young winner without arm problems. We all get fired up for prospects, and it sucks to give them away… but the truth is that Kenny (and Jerrry) reaffirmed their commitment to win now and in the short-term future.
If we can tread water until Peavy gets back this year, we could be dangerous. If the Sox have Buerhle and Peavy pitching Games 1,2,4,5,7 of a playoff series, this team can win this year.
Balls fly away!
The problem with Peavy is when he doesn’t get a strikeout, he’s a flyball hitter. Flyballs become homers in The Cell. Now Imis Jon Garlands groundballs. :(

He’s on the DL for another few weeks, and Axlerod said he couldn’t believe the Pads got this much return. Whether or not any of the prospects work out is another story.

larrys fortune cookie: you will learn much and have the advantage of not reading my pompous responses.
Ah I see JD's slump has
brought him down. Anyway JD would be more valauble as a DH since his fielding is worse than the positional adjustment. But hey I’m sticking with 4, I want an upgrade.
larrys fortune cookie: you will learn much and have the advantage of not reading my pompous responses.
i think his fielding plus positional adjustment over 150 games
is more or less the DH adjustment. he’s fine where he is. he’s all arm and not much else. RF doesn’t see as many batted balls as LF. he’s doing aight.

Peavy's agent, via mlbtr
“Frankly I am flabbergasted that the White Sox would want to make this deal with him in his physical condition.”
Well, that’s encouraging.
That's how Kenny stole him.
While everyone else was thinking out two months, he was thinking the next 3 years. After this season there would be much more competition for Peavy and we would have either paid more or lost out.
Sox win, cubs lose.....what a wonderful world!
it'll be a minor miracle if Poreda develops a change up
Peavy’s health is the bigger factor in whether or not this is a win for the Sox.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
so we go a month without a 5 starter
to get a month of a 2 starter in the 5 spot? that’s probably a win, but fairly negligible all in all. the problem is the pen and the position players.

"a win" as in "the Sox will be better off for it" not "1 WAR" or something.

I really have to like our deal more than the ones the Tigers and Twins made.
Peavy is a good deal long-term. Costly, but he’ll be worth it. Washburn’s been solid this year, and he’s a rental, but I really can’t believe he’ll continue to overperform, and the Tigers had to give up quite a bit. And the Twins? I suppose “mediocre veteran” is better than “shit veteran,” but that’s about all.
i havent been around much
but who did the tigers give up for washburn?
knocked his fucking dick in the dirt! - BuehrleMan
Luke French, who's 23 with 6 years under control,
and who has (IIRC) a career projection not dissimilar to Washburn’s (and who has comparable peripherals now)
Also Mauricio Robles, who I haven’t heard of, but who seems like a decent prospect for single-A.

Peavy's good, providing he's healthy. He's never had an offense behind him...
…not that he’ll have one now, but I like it when Nat’l League guys make the switch from the JV to the varsity.
Peavy seems pretty varsity to me.

I hate this trade
I would not even sign Jake Peavy let alone trade ML arms for him. First, away from Petco he is a mid 4 ERA pitcher. That ERA in the NL screams league average. So we traded ML arms for a guy to make 18mm a year through 2012.
Kenny has stated the budget is tight so why not get a very expensive average SP so that we have little flexibility come FA in the coming years. On top of that, lets make sure it is an injury prone SP.
Peavy has been living off the 2007 cy young year for too long. Outside of that season his career road ERA is mid 4s. He is an average pitcher who will be the highest paid player on the Sox. He is a flyball pitcher in a park where this sort of pitcher should not be.
I hate this trade and want nothing to do with the team right now. Very furious.
if i was a cubs fan, i would actually believe that jake peavy is a top tier pitcher. outside of petco he is maybe league average. christ even gaudin and correia this season look like legit SP in petco.
Re. Peavy transition to AL / US Cellular Field.

Uh,……………………………I think I’m going to go with the Sox Brass and Cooper.

poreda is far from crap. he will at least contribute out of a bullpen for years and if he develops any sort of secondary pitch he can start.
the implications of peavy’s salary is that the sox will not sign any real top tier player in the next 4 years. this is just bad all around.

what numbers did i state that were incorrect?
i was a littel off in saying he makes 18mm a year. it is more like 17.3mm a year with the 4mm buyout in 2012 which i am going to assume happens.
my opinions about peavy being overrated are as valid as people’s opinion that he will be great like in 2007. i used his peripherals, home vs away splits and factored in his salary/injuries that this trade will backfire. i do not like it.

you didn't properly qualify any of those things
it looks like you didn’t want to like the trade and found reasons for it. home/away splits need to be compared to the normal pitcher. estimating the impact of his move from PETCO to the Cell can be done with park factors. and his peripherals are as good as you can ask for. the primary issues going forward are HR rate and injury. his career away HR rate was 1.23. depress his periphs downward 10% (DH adjustment?) and you’d have a line of 8.1 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 1.23 HR/9 for a FIP of 4.18. in that case, he’s probably not making his money, but he is making the Sox pretty dang good. his marginal value is higher b/c the Sox already have 3 formidable options at the top.
really, this isn’t that much different from the Vazquez trade.

so you're familiar with the idea that parks are different
but you don’t know where that idea comes from enough to be able to look up about how much run suppression the park is responsible for. nor that kenny is also presumably aware of these things.
THIS STORY ONLY ENDS ONE WAY
Im sure KW is aware. I’m also aware that when he gets a man crush on someone he will do whatever he can to get him.
linebrink, griff jr, etc
all minor leaguers at the time.
i can sit back and spend hours digesting peavy’s numbers. it is clear he was amazing in petco and did average elsewhere except in 2007 in which he was good all around. i do not think he is washed up, he is just extremely overrated and not worth 18mm a year.
his career numbers are 9K/9 3BB/9 .9 HR/9
and his L/R splits are not all that notable. the park effects mainly manifest themselves as HR, so adjust as you see fit. but even with a 1.5 HR/9, he’s an above average starter. no one who pitches as many IP as he’s projected to over the next few seasons has a HR rate like that.

First of all his contract is as follows
10’ 15 million
11’ 16 million
12 17 million
13 option 22 million
His last 3 full seasons he WAR was 5.1, 4 & 6.2
Last year he was 2.8 in 177 innings
You want to argue about his health fine but its a good chance he pitches to his contract the next 3 years.

yea i looked at WAR as well. i would be very curious to see his WAR only using his road splits. i agree he is a top 10 SP in SD, outside of SD which is clearly what i care about he does not impress me let alone warrant a an average salary of 17.3mm over the next 3 years.
but yes, one huge sticking point for me is he is always injured as well.
He's not overrated because you say so

i even found a reason to like the swisher trade after he was one of my favorite players. i convinced myself marquez and nunez will turn into ML pitchers…i cant even make myself believe that peavy will have another 07 or even pitch to a 3.5 era or less in the AL

Dude the point is the numbers are there
What on earth are you talking about?
Pretty simple
http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=1051&position=P
"Oh well back to work"
good summary of a handful of reasons that make me worry about peavy from bleacherreport:
There are plenty of reasons why I don’t like Jake Peavy. I’ve been doing “research” on him for months, wondering if he was going to come to the other side of town.
He has a 3.73 K/BB ratio at Petco, while only surrendering a home run per 56 plate appearances. On the road, those numbers shift dramatically to 2.53 K/BB and a home run per 30.6 plate appearances.
His ERA at Petco is 2.81 but on the road it’s 3.82
OPS is .120 higher on the road
WHIP is .21 higher on the road.
I would argue that he is definitely not the ace that everyone thinks he is. Yet, he will continue to be paid as such, all the way until 2012 and maybe 2013.
I havent use ace or 2 or 3 or whatever you want to call him.
Your projection method is rather odd. You choose the worst situation and somehow assume that every Peavy start will be in that circumstance. Where you in Chicago this year? Have you done all the parks on the road in the AL? Like the Tigers? Like the open air stadium up North next year? He’s 28 and coming to one of the best medical staffs in baseball and managed by Ozzie who does a pretty good job with pitchers.
He’s not carrying all the weight here. And when did 3.82 become terrible?
"Oh well back to work"
i guess to better phrase my concerns….i was pretty heated gettin home from work and seeing this. in order of why i do not like the trade.
1. salary
2. injury
3. we are in a playoff race and just gave up a serviceable 5th starter for a guy who may not be back from the DL until september
4. he comes from petco
i do not think we overpaid for his type of talent but the salary plus injury would not even make me want to sign him at this rate. i would be comfortable with him making about 12 to 13mm but its whatever.
i also just hate hate hate his road splits, if they fluctuated somewhat or were closer to his average i wouldnt even care. the huge discrepancy is what scares me. like i said, i really hope my gut feeling about him is wrong.
i know all of your points are valid, but i believe my concerns are as well.
Its okay to have concerns
The deal is not without risk, but if you have been a fan of this team you should expect this by now. Not to mention they have done pretty well there. Colin summed it up best below. Maybe Peavy doesn’t pitch all the way to his contract. So what. With the other 3 pitchers on his side the collective group will be quite nice.
"Oh well back to work"
economy, low salaries makes me think we could have gotten his output (or what i think it will be around which is high 3s low 4s) for near 10mm a year.
but that is all speculation. its not my money but if this closes the pocket books on adding a few solid pieces ill be peeved…pun intended
You might consider the other side of the rainbow sourpuss
Like if Peavy puts up a 5 WAR season next year. Erection.
"Oh well back to work"
nah i get that. his road era is the 4th reason why i dont like the deal if i had to rank it.
but the splits coupled with his salary i just feel its a vast overpayment.
if the splits turn out to be an invalid reason
then you’re just worried about taking on salary. the Sox have ~60M committed in ’10 and need to find a CF, RF, DH and 5th starter. an additional 30M is still available and the market was buying wins along the lines of 3-5M per WAR last winter. i think we just resign Thome and Dye and then go with yet another stopgap in CF (8-10/1yr for Dye and Thome, plz no kotsay). 5th starter can be a fight between Torres, Hudson and some vets.

so by your own criteria..
we should get rid of danks and floyd who have nearly identical fly-ball rates as peavy? moron.
it just sucks carter had to be included in the deal
i was really excited to see him move up in the system especially with leading minors in Ks up to this point
"if it aint broke, dont break it"
in Kanny as a 22 year old.
there’s a reason the Sox didn’t move him up to W-S.

is there anyway that they left him there this last month knowing he was tradebait?
he had been pitching pretty good down there lately

good discussion all
time to get outta here. i hope im wrong about peavy but ive felt this way about him for a long while and i just dont see him amounting to a 15 to 17mm a year pitcher (apologies for factoring in 22mm option before). good luck all, and ill be at the game tomorrow if you want to yell at me…
sounds like a plan
where are you sitting?
The president was drinking Bud Light, Biden was drinking Buckler (a nonalcoholic beer), Gates was drinking Samuel Adams Light and Crowley was drinking Blue Moon.
I was becoming very positive about Richard.
I thought he looked very good the last couple of starts. I’m not an MLB talent evaluator but based on very limited data it seemed like he turned a courner: more aggressive, decent secondary offering (curve or slider, don’t recall), better location.
I don’t know enough about Peavy to judge the trade but it would have been fun to watch Clayton develop.
Go Sox!
I don't see what good Peavy does if we don't have any wide receivers who can catch the balls he throws

I think this is a great fucking deal! I don’t know how you can think otherwise. A week ago richard was on the way out of the rotation because he couldn’t go 5 innings. He had 2 great starts which raised his value.
Poreda, in my opinion, is a mini-Thornton
Russell is fucking awful
Carter? Well i don’t know… but he wasnt Hudson, Flowers, Danks or Viciedo…so what the hell do i care?
Jake Peavy is an ace. We already have an ace. We have 2 aces in waiting. Thats 4 aces baby! I love it. If we can’t pull through this year I think 2010 will be a cakewalk. I am all in on this trade!!!!!!!
