@Xmas32 yeah the starting rotation is awful and this is a team that can be in the hunt for a wild card spot if they can add a legit starter, but they don’t have much in the farm to give up without putting the future in further jeopardy. 

@Savage Husker agreed.  I just don't know what they're going to do as the farm system is pretty barren right now.  I guess the only hope would be if a team is looking to shed salary and the Ms can pick someone up as a half season rental and eat the salary in exchange for a low level prospect.  I'd love to be able to get a guy like Jake Odorizzi but I think the cost will be too high.  The only starters I can think of right now would be guys like Jordan Zimmerman or Smardzija due to their huge contracts.  The Walker trade looks like a huge win right now which is great.  I feel for Walker though, he's got electric stuff and it's a shame he got hurt.

I was happy with the Walker trade and especially happy to see the results so far. It’s too bad he keeps getting nicked up but that’s why I’m happy we sent him to Arizona. I was hoping they’d consider Harvey but not unhappy they didn’t get him, he’s a headcase. At this point, they need to be in striking distance in July to go buy a pitcher, unless Kuma comes back from injury looking like his no-hitter self from 3-4 years ago.
