Wow...that would be one scary rotation.

[PaulBako]

On my thread about Which one would be the best rotation I noted that the rotation would have:

1.Sababthia

2.Peavy

3.E Santana

4.Lackey

5.Saunders

Jered Weaver would be traded in a Peavy deal.

That would be the best rotation in the MLB as none of the pitchers had an ERA over four. Saunders could be our ACE if we had him, while he would be the fifth starter in the proposed rotation.

They need to get past Boston in the playoffs somehow.

CC won't help them with that...

The Angels are notoriously stingy with their prospects. I think they'll make a push for Sabathia, but I find it hard to believe they'll deal for Peavy.

That deserved some rep. :rofl:

Thaey can part With Jered Weaver, Sean Rodriguez, Peter Bourjos, and Jeff Mathis for Peavy.

Whoops, I just wasted my 500th post!

That's a dream. They'll likely not get either. Don't have the prospects for Peavy and the wherewithal to go against the big boys for CC.

Though they do have a young pitcher that the Padres want, who is Jered Weaver.

One pitcher does not a deal make. They're not likely to trade players like Conger and Walden, and seeing as the Braves were recently asked for Hanson and Hernandez...

I don't think they'll be able to pull this off, but if they somehow were able to, it would quite easily be the number one rotation in the majors. Definitely would make a 4 game series in LA pretty terrifying..

While getting both may be unlikely you are wrong on both accounts. They most certainly do have the prospects for Peavy and they ARE one of the big boys. Moreno is a billionaire.

The problem is a couple of those games would still be in Fenway...
