Jake Peavy Projections

[Rico The Retard]

Im wondering what you guys think he will do next year, i personally think hell have a great year and post some great numbers

ill say

210 K's, 17 W's, 3.30 ERA, 1.10 WHIP

Peavy definately has some of the best tools of any young pitcher in the game. However, even as a Peavy owner, I see him hitting a few speed bumps in 2005 season. He was almost too good to be true last year.

An adjustment with the fences at Petco could hurt him a bit. Still, he is probably going to be worth about 15 wins and a K per inning. I cannot see his ERA climbing above 4.00 either. So, he should be a top 10 NL arm.

I've got my doubts about the 17W's, but I'd pretty much agree. I think he's gonna have a great year.

I agree that he might have been too good..however, I remember years ago drafting peavy because he was supposed to have great tools...personall I like him alot ....

What adjustments to Petco are they making?

I know that Phil Nevin and Ryan Klesko made their discontent with the way the park played public, looking at the team's home offensive numbers only further tells the story (I think they improved in the second half, but were still not satisfied). I would assume that some changes will be made. The extent of these changes is what I am curious about.

You were full of bull that an adjustment was made and spoke as if you were the GM of the Padres?

Come on dude!

I think your wins are a little high and the WHIP is a little low, other than that I believe the kid will have a great year.

actually short, I the word out of San Diego yesterday was that they will not be making any adjustments to the ball park fences. The only change they are going tomake is to the batters eye. They are going to widen it just a touch.

whatever !!!

There was tons of talk about changes bieng made to that park, during and after the '04 season. Short was simply saying that if they did it could hurt him.
