Peavy traded to the White Sox

His injuries have not involved his arm or shoulder, though. I am sure the White Sox investigated these injuries thoroughly.

Chico,

I think the reason that they pulled the trigger on that trade, despite Peavy being on the DL, is because Richards would have only started 3 times while Peavy is on DL since the 5th starter slot is skipped whenever possible. I'm not a big Sox fan (they're like my 4th or 5th favorite team... well above the Cubs or Cards despite my being a Peoria-area guy), but I think this was a great trade for them. Peavy's the real deal and should be for a few years yet, and the White Sox surrendered decent, but not great, prospects in exchange. There's a chance one of them will turn out to be a decent player, but not much chance that any of them will be as good as Peavy.

Your post goes along with the old baseball adage that half of all pitching prospects fail. Time will tell with this trade......

Jake Peavy is throwing and fielding without problems. He is scheduled to pitch a bullpen session Monday, then start next Thursday at Charlotte (White Sox AAA team),

For you White Sox fans....You'll love him! He's one of the games best pitchers. Can you imagine the pub he'll be getting in Chitown compared to San Diego? He's a gamer that does not take a pitch off and has a great attitude.

Jake Peavy made his first start tonight for the White Sox AAA farm team in Charlotte, NC.
He pitched 3 innings, and was removed after 43 pitches, which was the plan (50 pitch limit). He left with a 1-0 lead, struck out 5 and walked 1, and yielded just 1 hit, a single leading off the 2nd inning. Most of his fastballs were in the low 90's
