We should hope hoch catches fire in the last month and we can trade him for a couple bats or something.

The Glass Family is too cheap to change much. If they do bring in a FA Starter, it'll be some guy who's been hurt, or is at the end of the line, like when they brought in Jeff Francis a couple years ago. Here's the rotation for 2013:

1) Chen
2) Hoch
3) Weak Ass FA
4) Guthrie
5) Mendoza

Other guys who will probably show up due to injury/crappiness:

Mazzaro
W Smith
Verdugo
Odorizzi

Guys who they may try to make into starters:

Collins
Soria

Guys who may get a start or two depending on their healing process:

Duffy
Paulino

But I'll bet you, at most, they bring in ONE free agent as a starter, and it'll probably be somebody marginal, or somebody on a one year deal who'll they'll deal off in July (The Broxton Treatment).

They're not going to spend nearly the amount of $ it'll take to fix this rotation. It's not about winning, it's about keeping it cheap and keeping it in the black.

crow needs to be stretched out or traded, imo. Our bullpen is too rich to sit on. Donnie joseph will be ready next year as well. You can't stretch out collins, imo. I have given up on chen and hoch.

[TLO]

Man, I want Duffy and Paulino back.
