this is a hard one, clearly Peavy is a elite pitcher, but runs a risk of injuries, also who knows if he will get traded this season and it depends on where too?, Billingsley is still kinda unknown in terms on his abilities but he does play for a good team, so the wins will come and he does great stuff, IMO though I would get Peavy seeing as your pitching needs help.

help with mine?

Thanks, actually I had Kazmir until a week ago when I traded him for Ellsbury. I needed the steals, and to be honest, my pitching staff has probably the most depth in the league. Just not the ellite pitcher.
Anymore out there with a suggestion or two.

Any body else out there with an opinion. I am leaning towards taking Peavy, but its not a sure thing.

I would stand pat, I like the fact that Billingsly will(should) get more wins and as said before Peavy does have some DL downside, other cats are even IMO
If there is baseball in heaven!!!! Be very aware of the starting lineup

You do have an elite pitcher in Billingsley. I dont have him this year but I did have him last year and he was a stud. Peavy is overrated and his violent delivery will keep him on the DL a lot. Keep what you got
