True about Davies. But, in hindsight, the Chen contract is a poor decision (still light on the dollars, so hard to care too much), and Jackson seems like it could have been a Meche-like move (perfect time to buy).
I'm hopeful that we'll be set next year with guys coming up through our own system. My problem is that I think 2012 is here for the taking, and I'd like to see some aggression to try to capitalize.

I disagree with pretty much all of this.
Duffy is going to be a stud. He needs to be in there.
Chen's a bargain, and he can eat some innings.
Jackson is WAY over-valued right now. Hell, he was maybe the top pitcher available.
The Tigers are head and shoulders above us on paper. Jackson/Oswalt isn't changing that. More than anything, we need to know what we have in Sanchez, Duffy, and Paulino (even Hochevar to an extent). Chen's probably going to be dealt before the end of the year, IMO.
