Happy Thanksgiving All

I hope everyone is having a good day of thanks, which requires me to make a corny "thank you" post, but instead I'll throw out this idea. Tim Brown at Yahoo! Sports says the Padres have found a third team that could help deliver young talent to the Padres. The Rays fit that bill, but I'm not sure I see a ton we could use in return (Joe Thatcher? Justin Hampson? Scott Hairston?)

Happy late T-Giving

I’d think that if it were a 3 team Peavy deal, the Cubs would be the ones sending the Rays players, with the Rays sending prospects to the Padres.

The only match I see would be Marmol/Samardjija, since it is a waste of resources for a team that’s far from contention to have bullpen strength. But, I’m not a crazy fan of giving up the prospects to get Marmol, and he may not even be available, and Samard has a NTC. The Rays don’t need Vitters.

Maybe Mark DeRosa (for RF/DH), especially if Hendry signs Raul Ibanez (yay lawn darts), but not much else. And, he’s not really that cheap and a 1 year rental and might not be as attractive as the prospects that might be needed to make it work.

I don’t really see much of a match.

I know that's a pisser, baby.
