If so, who are some guys we could be looking at? I looked at some of the bottom of the barrel teams and saw a few guys...
Honestly the one I like the most is probably Brandon McCarthy of the A's.
King Felix is down a bit this year, and of course we have all talked about Greinke, not that we'd trade to take him back.

I'm a little hesitant with McCarthy because of the shoulder soreness this year.
I can't imagine that the asking price on Felix would ever get much lower (given just a mediocre year last year and a pretty poor last month), but I still wonder how much it would take. Felix strikes me as the buy low guy right now. He's signed at almost $20 million per year through 2014, though, so that's a lot of our future payroll.
