Hey, It Could Happen... | Evan Brown's Blog

Don't think I'm a fool when I say this... Jake Peavy could be a New York MET by the time this offseason is all said and done. I know he apparently hates New York and granted the Mets aren't in his T-Mobile top 5 but hear me out. First off that statement that Jake Peavy "hates" New York came from an Atlanta writer not Peavy's mouth. I wonder if that had anything to do with the Braves push to land the ace...Second, look at last year, did anyone ever think Johan Santana would ever be on the Mets? The whole offseason it was, who will he be traded to? Yankees? Redsox? and Minya pulled it off and landed the best pitcher in baseball. Minya is anything but predictable so I wouldn't be surprised if Peavy lets the Padres trade him to Queens by the end of '08. He would be in his prefered National League and the idea of playing along side Santana has to be something he will think over and over about. This could give the padres young talent they need (Which the Mets do have, I don't understand the people that say they don't) and for the Mets can add another ace and would create one of the potential greatest 1-2 punches in roto history. (Potential trade bait: SP JON NEISE, RP BOBBY PARNELL, RP AARON HEILMAN, OF FERNANDO MARTINEZ, RP EDDIE KUNZ, RF RYAN CHURCH, 2B LUIS CASTILLIO, RP AMBRIORIX BURGOS, RP SCOTT SCHOENWEIS, OF NICK EVANS, OF ENDY CHAVEZ and INF AREGNIS REYES)

Johnny Deamon said he'd never go to New York but hey, look where he is (I only say this spitefully because I'm a Red Sox fan, and Johnny Deamon was my favorite player)
