Do we really want to sacrifice the next wave of prospects to acquire a single pitcher right now even though we have a plethora of starters to choose from next year? I also think Sanchez has the stuff if they can fix his control. JMO.

If you are listing Montgomery, you might as well throw Dwyer on that list. But given what’s happened the last 2 seasons, there is no reason to expect either to contribute anything; they are relics from the “greatest farm system ever” that never panned out. It happens, move on.
Crow will never be a starter, or at least a good one.
Duffy and Paulino JUST had tommy johns. They won’t even start rehab until halfway through 2013, so don’t expect to see them in the show (or at 100%) until 2014.
2013 is looking more like:
Hochever
Odorizzi
Chen
Lamb (and who knows what he will give us, he isn’t done with rehab)
Mendoza/Sanchez/Mazzaro/???
