I would do that trade as well for a couple of reasons.

1. With Peavy you already have cost certainty. His contract is a little higher than Oswalt's, but when you consider inflation it will look better down the road.
2. Peavy is better than the other starters on the market save Sabathia. My response to the Sabathia folks will be to see number one.

Someone (maybe Bob) mentioned the possibility of trading Valverde to the Mets for John Maine. I think adding those two would make this an 04-05 rotation again.
