Hope he can adjust to the AL

 

[D2bets]

I thought he was injured?

They should have gotten him 2 months ago. Sox are done anyway. Hope for their sake they didn't give up much.

 

[D2bets]

I thought he was out until the end of August. Can a player on DL be traded? I thought not. :think2:

 

[kidman232]

you can trade a dl player, just doesnt ever really happen

 

[steaktartar]

twin fan here....not happy

 

[bucsfan67]

if he was healthy, it could swing the division, but since he's not, they are gonna have to get there mostly without him, and then use him if they make playoffs...

 

[Objection]

His ERA is vastly different pitching away from Petco Park

 

[Bushay]

The Tigers picked up Washburn today and that now gives them 3 starters with era's in the top 7 in the AL. Jackson 2 Washburn 3 and Verlander 7th. Peavy better get back in action soon if they stand a chance.

Tigers really needed a hitter.

I think this trade was more about the next 3 seasons than about this season.

White Sox's Jake Peavy ready to 'grind' out AL Central race against Detroit Tigers

Chicago's Jake Peavy: "We like our chances."
"Let's see how they finish."

Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera seems pretty optimistic about his team's chances of catching the Chicago White Sox in the American League Central.

And with the teams facing off 10 times in the season's final two months, Cabrera and the Tigers seem to have plenty of time to make up the 3 1/2-game deficit.

"No, I’m not surprised," Cabrera said of the White Sox at the All-Star Game this week in Kansas City. "They have great pitching, and they’re doing good right now. ... Let's see how they finish."

White Sox starter Jake Peavy expects a close battle the rest of the way.

"This is where it gets serious," Peavy said. "This is where the grind starts. People on the outside can say what they want. We like our chances. I mean, why not? We’re in first place, and we’re going to grind it out, I can tell you that. With the ballclub we have, the leadership, the coaching staff, we’re going to grind this out."

Detroit finished the 2011 season a tear, winning 38 of its final 54 games. But it's the White Sox who are the division's best team right now.

Chicago went 5-1 in its final six games before the All-Star break, which included a sweep of the two-time defending AL champion Texas Rangers.

"They’re starting to play like Detroit did at the end of last year," Indians closer Chris Perez said of the Sox. "I hope it doesn’t happen, but that’s what they look like."

It should be a good race to the finish.

NL West, NL East as well.

Will the Pirates hang on?
