| 22nd October, 2008 - 7:09 am | Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Braves' third baseman Chipper Jones believes that pitcher Jake Peavy, whom the Padres are shopping, is a perfect fit for his team's staff.
Jones hopes Braves' GM Frank Wren can finalize a deal for the 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner.
"If his arm is sound, this guy’s one of the best in the game," Jones said of Peavy.
"He’s still got his peak years ahead of him, and we’d have him four or five years," Jones added. "That’s a bonus. He’s got four years to win here, four years to see how nice it is to play so close to home, four years for our fans to make an impression on him that this is a nice place to be, and hopefully we’d be able to keep him past four years.
"Getting that piece of the [offseason] puzzle taken care of would be a tremendous feather in our cap." [READ] |
