I agree. No need to rush period. Garcia, Colon, Millwood is the totem pole I'm seeing for the 5th starter role. If that collapses, I can see them trying to acquire a solid, middle to back end innings eater, who, while not a sexy name, can give them quality innings. It's just a matter of who fits that profile that's currently out there.

Yeah, I'm not expecting any "Sexy names" Most of them would be damn near impossible to get anyway (Hernandez, JJ, Cain, Lincecum, etc.etc.etc.)
All though I would prefer one of our minors pulling the job if one of them doesn't work out but they can't really be an "Innings eater" Someone has gotta stick though. With Garcia, Colon, Millwood, and even Prior. I hardly doubt that all 4 of them will fail at the same time. If they do then we go out and find someone. But we got 4 guys. One of them I think is gonna stick. I could be wrong I hope not. But, if I am we have got other choices like trading.
