Peavy Could Bring Team Four Times As Many Starts As Garza

Matt Garza and Jake Peavy are the two biggest names on the pitching market this month.
While Garza has received a majority of the attention, Peavy returned to the mound on Saturday and could provide his new team will a lot more value than Garza.
Garza will be a free agent after the season and rentals who are acquired in-season can't be extended a qualifying offer by their new team, meaning there's no chance to receive an extra compensatory draft choice.
Peavy is under contract through 2014 ($14.5 million) and could give a new team as many as four times the number of starts as Garza.
