Myers does a great job as a lefty specialist, but we need a reliable guy that can consistently pitch the 7th, or even the 8th to give Timlin a break.

Agreed. Outside of Wickman, there's not a ton of guys out there but we need help desperately. Malaska and DiNardo are of no help, and Cla is too young as is Delcarmen down at Portland.

For the rotation, I'm definitely thinking long term...as in who I should go after in my MVP dynasty also, haha. I guy like Schmidt might be available as a free agent, so I'm glad they're not dangling Hanley like they did with AJ Burnett last year...again according to Gammons.
