Peavy in the News

March 22nd, 2008 | Author: Chad Gramling

Former Wizards pitcher, and reigning National League Cy Young winner, Jake Peavy has had his name pop several times lately. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Peavy supports Clemens, Bonds (MLB.com): Bonds hit his 700th homer off Peavy near the end of the 2004 season and may have had the last at-bat of his career against him in the sixth inning this past Sept. 26 at San Francisco’s AT&T Park. In this article, Peavy says he’s saddened by the plight of Roger Clemens and equally as chagrined at the charges that Barry Bonds is facing.
  • Peavy, Webb share mutual respect (MLB.com): The NL past two Cy Young Award winners: Brandon Webb of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Jake Peavy of the San Diego Padres. Together they have combined for 64 wins and a couple of playoff appearances during that span. Their clubs are NL West rivals and face each other 19 times a season. they are both right-handers and are the undisputed No. 1 starters and aces of their respective staffs. Both came to the big leagues at an early age and have shared similar career paths along the way.
  • Padres ace Peavy still improving (MLB.com): Peavy was dominant in 2007. Yet, the idea that Peavy may be entering an even better point of his career is not a far-fetched hope. For Padres manager Bud Black, it looks more like the next logical step in the development of this brilliant career.
