Thoughts? Our starting rotation looks like it may be imploding!

Well, things are starting to look up...
... a little.
Here's the update: Baird made a GREAT move in acquiring Brian Anderson. He also managed to piss off the Chicago front-office (an added bonus) by making this trade within the division. And SUPPOSEDLY, Baird is still trying to deal for another starting pitcher before the Aug.31 waiver-trade dead-line. Let's cross our fingers. So our starting rotation looks like this now: Brian Anderson Darrell May Paul Abbott Jimmy Gobble Jose Lima Anderson and May will both be solid down the stretch. I'm pretty confident in both of them giving us a good chance to win every game they pitch in September. I'm still not a big Abbott fan, but he did look MUCH better in his last start against the Twins. Really only made one terrible pitch(3-run HR to Hunter). Jury is still out on him. His next start will tell us a lot. I'm starting to feel a little bit better about Gobble just by putting his starts into perspective. Yes, he has gotten pretty roughed up his last two starts, but they were BOTH against the Yankees. We're not going to be playing anyone the quality of the Yankees the rest of the year, save the White Sox in the last week of the season. I'm still worried about Lima, because I don't think he's fully healed from the groin injury that he had. His next start against Anaheim this weekend will tell us a lot about where he is. So, in all, there are still some concerns, but it is starting to look a little better. Hopefully Baird is still able to make one big move(Livan Hernandez?) for a starting pitcher before Aug. 31st.

I wouldn't expect the Spo's to trade Hernandez, being they are just 1 game out of the wild card race.(and they won again today against Philly).
