You guys are talking about only 4th/5th starters, but that's not their only problem. One, the Mariners outdo them in every category. Second, their sluggers are doing little, and it's been up to up and comer Byrnes to carry the team. Then, you've got Mulder who's been rattled his last three times out, and Zito has been getting hit hard this year. I guess the only really good thing going on with the team is that they didn't give Tejada that huge contract...

Re: A\'s in dyer need of a 4th/5th starter
Their starters have gone through a bit of a rough patch... however, is Tim Hudson only a 4 game winner at this stage because of HIS pitching? Nope. He's gotten like 9 NDs already because of the horrid bullpen and lack of hitting.
Suggestions:
Get rid of Dye. 12M for .260 25HR 80RBI is cr*p Makes Beane look dumb for not sending him to LA for Sheffield when they had that chance, yathink?
Ditch the whole bullpen. Halama is washed up (only Moyer can throw 80mph fastballs and ge taway with it), Bradford is a friggin GAS CAN - even though he has a low ERA, he manages to give up a run every time we need a shutdown inning, and he has a bad habit of letting inherited runners score. Rincon is the same, just has worse control.
I actually like Foulke, but I'd like to see somebody dominant in there and not a guy known for his change up.. say, K-Rod? I doubt the salary thing would work, but it woudl be nice.
My 2 cents.
