A totally home grown rotaiton. WHo woud have believed the Phillies would ever have that? As for this year, get a rental for as small price as possible. Our offense allows us to win with pitchers having eras of @5.00 I know this is fantasy, but I would love to see a rotation in 1-2 years of Cole, Myers, Bastardo, Carrasco and Happ. If Myers goes FA on us (less likely now with his injury) then you have Drubeck, Kendrick, Carpenter in the waiting.

In terms of value, I think it would take Drabek, Marson and Donald to get Buchholz, that’s how high they are on him. Once they trade Penny, he’ll be up in their rotation.

Would something out of the box like that make sense?  Remember I am far from a baseball person. </span> Clay Buchholz for Jason Donald and maybe one other lower level prospect.  Heard Sox need a shortstop of the future.  We need a pitcher.  I don’t know anything else about Buchholz except he is doing well in the minors now has like 15 major league starts and was 5-10.  But he has talent and is young right?

I also wouldn't pay that much for Harang. I don't think he's good enough to warrant giving two top prospects for. I would do option 2, at least for Halladay or Webb.  (I'd try to swap Marson for one of the pitches though, if they'd allow it. We have Ruiz for cheap for now, and he's actually hitting. Plus like you mentioned we have D'Arnaud and Valle in the system. But I'd still take it) The price is too high for Penny or Marquis. I also wouldn’t pay that much for Harang.

Brad Penny is pretty much washed up, and from your previous comments I assume that you agree.  I would also pass on Marquis.
