Not surprised at Peavy being the one getting traded. This season and last season he's been more miserable than good (although not all his fault).
Everyone else in the rotation either would have been bad deals (ex. Lester, Lackey) or too low in value because of injuries (Doubront, Buchholz).

Wouldn't be surprised if in the future the MLB sets aside a year or two for a special committee who just votes for Roid era guys. That way the Hall can get the big name players and the era itself gets official Hall status like every other era in baseball history.
