LOL! "please nooooo Oswalt and Haren?"
Just b/c it would likely cost Montero (which Cashman has said Lee was the only talent he'd give up Montero for)? Because aside from Meyers there aren't any "underrated" pitchers available. Maybe Maholm or Lilly (who I feel are rated as exactly what they are 4.00-4.50ERA 10-15 wins depending on offense and luck) but neither are an upgrade to Vasquez or even a faltering AJ.
MLBtraderumors.com post twitter updates so I don't miss it by much. And I hope you're right about the deadline putting a poker to their backside but as long as people keeping expecting crap like the Berkman expectations I don't think much will get done.
