@Steve: Late 3rd round, early 4th.

@Grey: So, 12-team you'd take him mid to late 3rd round? Or still hope that he falls into the 4th?

@Steve: I wouldn't hesitate to grab Peavy in the 40s. So 10 team.

@Grey: Dumb question, but is that 4th round in a 10- or 12-teamer?

@Tim: I am worried a bit, but is he more riskier than Johan, whose numbers have gone down the last two years and has arm pain in the spring? Or more worried about Webb's Win Karma catching up to him? No. Pitchers are inherently risky, and I'd draft Peavy at the right spot. Say the 4th round.

Grey, I read the other day that Peavy had some difficulties after he pitched in the 2006 WBC. Now that he is pitching in the 2009 WBC, are you at all worried?

Thanks, Grey. Yes, it does support your post. Just wanted you to know that there is a little love out here for ya’ (not the man-kind).

@Fred Barker: Sorry, man, I don't know what you're looking for from me. I think it's a very solid point. It could be explained away a bit that he excels against those hitters/teams because they aren't that good. Or maybe the West just knows him better and can exploit the few flaws he might have. Either way, it reinforces my post, doesn't it? I think he's just one of the top pitchers in the majors, no matter where he pitches. And if he were to be traded to the AL mid-season, he'd be pitching against people who know of him even less.
