RHP Jake Peavy continued to insist that he does not want to be traded, and hopes fan interest generated by the sweep of the Cubs shows at the box office in home games against Minnesota and Cleveland this week. As far as Peavy was concerned, more fans means a chance to add in July, not subtract. "If we're going to stay together as a team and not have some of these pieces traded away, we're going to have to have some fan support and play good baseball," Peavy said. "I hope our fans feed off this (sweep of the Cubs), and with school getting out, they'll show up at the ballpark. I certainly don't want (to be traded). This is where I want to play. I love (manager) Robin (Ventura) and his staff and my teammates."

Peavy (5-1) took a three-hitter into the seventh inning Sunday, striking out seven while walking two in 6.1 innings as the White Sox blanked the Cubs to finish off the sweep.
Recommendation: Peavy is once again dominant after injuries limited him the last few seasons, which is evident in his eight quality starts in nine nods this year. That includes a 2.39 ERA and 0.906 WHIP, numbers that bring back fond memories of his brilliance in 2007 en route to the Cy Young Award. Fantasy owners should continue to roll with Peavy, whose next start is Saturday against the Indians.

Peavy was awful in a 10-8 loss to Detroit on Tuesday.
Advice: Peavy sailed into the sixth with a 6-0 lead before he fell apart, recording one out before being lifted as he was charged with six runs.
