Right now he's 4th behind Sampson, Lynn and Minor, your 5th is Smyly or Miller or ???

Maybe Springs, as poor as he's been, still better than Miller or Smyly, or continue using them in tandem with one another, first sign of trouble, try the next guy, i dunno, none of them are ideal, at least Sampson and Jurado are holding things down for now

Pretty much the situation and not too bad considering we don't know if we're buying or selling. Time will tell.

Sounds a lot like the mindset just prior to the ill-fated decision to acquire Hamels.

When asked about the possibility of shipping out prospects to improve the immediate roster, Daniels responded: “Most likely if we were to do that it would be for someone with control beyond next year.”

Jonathan Hernandez pitches tonight for Frisco. It would be great to see him have another really good outing and prove his last outing wasn't a fluke.

John King pitches for Down East as he tries to continue his good season.

Jerad Eickoff outing a bit ill fated yesterday. Is Alfaro the only other one in the MLB as of today?

But I doubt we pick up a big ticket. Read where Woodward is pushing to buy

The doubts were there before the Hamels trade too. Very big doubts.

I am not saying we will buy a long term pitcher and give up prospects to do so. I just wouldn't be surprised if we did. Like the Hamels move it would be defended as being long term, but like the Hamels trade it could very well be a mistake.

We would be a lot further along in the process with Eickof and Alfaro still on the team and with the potential of Nick Williams.

. Hahaha
If Eickof gave up 5 homers the board would be demanding a DFA and this is the doomed NL league. Maybe he deserves another chance. Ha
I do like Alfaro though. Santana may be better than Nick.

Ill fated may be a tad bit of a stretch
