Here's hoping Glavine doesn't come back. A one year rental just doesn't fit the picture.
Smoltz, Hudson, and Hampton aren't going anywhere. I know some want to trade Hudson, but it's unlikely.
As it is we have 2 spots between James, Davies, and Horacio. James is a lock. I want Davies to continue learning in the majors. It's necessary for most young pitchers; AAA doesn't teach everything. Davies is still the same promising pitcher he was in the minors and his rookie year, and he deserves that MLB learning time. Horacio's a goner IMO, and I can't see replacing any of the remaining guys for a rental, even a good rental.
I'll second the motion on Shanks. He can be outright offensive.
