Did any of you hear Ryan Lefebvre's chat with Soren Petro the other day? They were throwing stuff around and talking about whether the Royals would be buyers at the trade deadline. Lefebvre said he thought they'd be buyers and Petro agreed. Then Petro threw out the name Jake Peavy.

Ok it's all a dream but who would you rather have if you could only have 1?

Jake Peavy- With a rotation of Greinke, Peavy, Meche, Davies, and Bannister/Hochevar we would have a potentially great pitcher on the mound every single night.

Matt Holliday/Adam Dunn- A middle of the guy slugger who adds much-needed punch to the middle of the lineup and makes guys like Guillen and Butler that much more dangerous...although someone's going to have to sit that we might want out there.

Tejada/Cabrera- A shortstop who might not be a great hitter but would help us with our most obvious offensively weak positions, shortstop. Replacing Aviles gives us a stronger lineup 1-9 but doesn't give us a slugger.

Sherrill/Qualls/etc.- A closer or set-up man from a team out of contention will bolster a bullpen that might have worries about it's own closer's shoulder. Adding one of these players gives us a bully that can carry a game reliably from the 6th or 7th inning to the end.

The hitters make sense to me, but the thought of having Peavy in our rotation is almost enough to make me jimp. Thoughts?

let's just win tonight
