Shocking Starts

SP Jake Peavy ARI: Last Year Arizona was looking to trade Peavy at the Trade Deadline; the usually mediocre Peavy was not traded from Arizona and therefore renewed his contract with Arizona for 2.7Million till 2018. That investment in Peavy was a very smart one by Jmel. To Start 2017 Peavy has 6 wins which is tied for the league lead with 1 loss, Peavy has really helped the Diamondbacks hang in there in NL West as the struggling Zach Lee hasn’t really preformed even close to his AL CY Young Stats in 2016. If you ask me I could see the D-Backs trading Peavy if Lee can start preforming like he used too, but if he can't then I think Jake Peavy will have to lead the D-Backs to the top of the NL West.

 

SP Andrew Chaffin LAD: I find this very funny as the Dodgers GM FMGM was going to give Chaffin to Oakland as comp for a trade that FMGM declined after KC/Sadderday posted it. I bet FMGM is happy the Mods and admins vetoed the trade unless he may not be in first in the NL West. Unlike Arizona the Dodgers don’t have a Starter struggling but none the less if the Dodgers did not have Chaffin they might not be first in NL West. As Chaffin is 6-1 with a 2.80 ERA and 43 Ks.
