Jake Peavy

1 April 2009

dero to close for the Brewers in recent years.

The San Diego Padres are also still trying to shop Jake Peavy. I don't see a chance at the Brewers getting him and maintaining him. It would be another CC Sabathia situation that would likely not pay off as well as the Sabathia deal did.

Been a while since I posted, in part because I was out of town last week at a trade show in San Diego. Not a bad place to go for a working vacation, and a week ago we got to take in a game between the Padres and the D-backs. My dad's a rabid D-backs fan, beside which my fandom (or fanhood, as the ESPN ads call it) seems rather small.

While Loney continues to show flashes of his potential with two hits in four at-bats, the other three combined to go 1-for-9 with two strikeouts.

The only bad news for the Dodgers is that Padres ace Jake Peavy is scheduled to come off the disabled list to pitch against them on Thursday. Peavy won his first two starts against the Dodgers this year, both against supposed ace Brad Penny, but will be going against the pitcher who has perhaps been the Dodgers’ best of late. Hiroki Kuroda, who spun a complete game masterpiece against the Cubs in his last start, won his first MLB game in San Diego back in April.
