So every year the Brewers will trade away their future for a rent-a-pitcher?

Magic 8 Ball says the Brewers will be the wild card again and flame out in the first round of the playoffs.

Well Obama, this is the first5 thing out of your mouth (politics or sports) that I agree with. However J.J. Hardy's possible departure does not constitute 'trading' their future. Rumor has it that Khalil Greene was looking to be packaged with Peavy, so it may be a multi-player deal and thus they wouldn't lose anything. How is Peavy a future-rent-a-pitcher? Is he only looking for a one or two year deal?

Damn republicans; they're everywhere. Junior! Chase is coming down to Florida to hang with ya. Maybe we can get youse all to congregate in like a few chosen states. and then we can try and make sure ya'll don't **** anything else up, ya betcha, like, ya know, when we ain't watching youse.

Let's see: Florida, Alaska, Mississippi, Georgia, ya'll can have California, too. Hmmmm, okay and Texas, NJ and Ohio. That is it. Now behave!

The last time I checked, the Brewers play in Milwaukee which is not an attractive option for most players

I highly doubt the Brewers would give away for Hardy for Greene as part of this big package possibility looking at Greene's rough offensive season in 2008.

A bottle of kessler...how do I get in on a bet like that?!?!:)))

Aaaargh, you drink that stuff too, right? I told him if he accepted my friend invite I'd give him a bottle, he accepted saying something to the effect that I shouldn't dangle that cherished inebriant in front of his cirrhosed liver like that! lol

Truth be told, I've never seen this mythical potable --is it regional? (I live outside Chicago)

It won't be for Peavey either once he see's the mass exodus of players out of Milwaukee!

If you notice..there is a reason that the Brewers are not on Peavy's list. he does not want to play for a "pretender" wild card team.

Come on Karate Kid, mass exodous? They have the best young hitter in baseball locked up for 7 more years (Braun), one of the leagues top young starters (Gillardo), a double A team that produced 10...10 minor league all-stars, including the top rated shortstop in the minors, Escobar...top rated catcher, Salome, and future first base prospect Matt Gammel, all they did was hit on average .330, 80 RBI, and Escobar stole 49 bases! Yeah they're going to lose a oft-injured Sheets, but ESPN has reported that they will be the dark-horse in the CC sweepstakes, haveing stockpiled $110-115 million to offer. If Peavy is serious about a postseason run, he could do a lot worse than Milwaukee.

Kessler.... ughhh... people drink that chyte like water here in WI... just plain nast.

I will say this, the brewers would be dumb to trade JJ for Peavy... They have a lot of good young pitchers that are coming back and could find a better pitcher that would cost them less. Plus if they did make this trade they would lose half of the fans... as all the women would have killed themselves... it is crazy how much they swoon for that guy here.

the brewers would be getting someone that is overrated and gets injered all the time. I don't like this trade

GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peavy is rarely on the DL. Get your facts straight. He's usually a workhorse, and one of the best pitchers in baseball. Any team in the league would benefit from his presence.
