Don't be surprised if one of those two names winds up with the Phils before the deadline. Going to try out some of the young arms and then they will make a move for a legit #1/#2. They won't mortgage the future to get a rent a player though. I would personally love to see Oswalt come to Philly. Lord knows he would finally get the run support he is wanting.

Sad that the old formula of building a farm system and only using the trade to plug an occasional hole has been relegated to 2nd class citizenry in favor of fantasy style money binges.

Unless you are the Marlin or recently the Ray.

Cubs can't do it with no owner.

Screwed they are.

No farm, no money........no chance.

But that is still the only way championships are won.
