Yeah, that's true. I'll only ban them if they keep on being persistent and don't follow through with our requests.
Anyways, Jake Peavy may actually be thrown into the Manny trade thing. If the Sox make a deal with the Pads of course.
That would suck.
I want to keep Peaves. He just had an off-year, and no-offense, but I couldn't see him in a BoSox uniform. It could happen, just saying that'd suck.

You do have to give talent to get talent though.
Linebrink is also another player that could end up in the deal as well if Manny is traded to the Pads. One player that the Red Sox have in mind would be Adrian Gonzalez, but there's a slim chance that the Padres would want to split with Gonzalez.
As for Peavy, he is always going to be brought up in a Padre deal speculation. He's easily their best commodity. Which is why they wouldn't trade him (you never know of course). That would simply kill their pitching staff. It's filling one hole to create another. It's the same problem you'd have in dealing with Texas, unless Hicks really hates Boras so much that he wants to trade Teixeira.
If the Red Sox got Gonzalez on top of that, wow. Still, I don't see it happening. Plus I would have to imagine if the package includes Peavy, Linebrink, and Gonzalez, then we would see Manny, possibly Youkilis and money going in the other direction.
Do the Padres have any real option than Adrian at 1B? Plus he is a local guy, which Padres and their fans like. Obviously has performed very, very well.
