Concern over Peavy’s Innings?

Real quick today. First off, one of the band of Jeffs pointed out to me that Trevor Hoffman will rejoin the Padres against the Diamondbacks in San Diego. Thanks for the correction, dude.

I didn’t see last night’s game, just heard a little of it in the car. I can only guess how Jake Peavy looked; man, that was a horrible line. So now is a good time for this question: When do the Padres shut down Peavy? He’s 22 years old and he’s worked 159 innings. Where do you put his ceiling: 170 innings? 180? That gives him somewhere between two and four more starts. I’ll miss watching him pitch, and you know he won’t want to miss any turns, but it will be best for the future of this organization if someone takes the ball from him in a couple of weeks and doesn’t give it back to him till next spring.

Thoughts on Peavy? Thoughts on anything else? Drop me a line. I’ll talk to ya soon…
