Exactly. I haven't been that bothered by all the moves (or non-moves) Hendry has made this offseason, but if we get some 3rd-rate piece-of-crap overpaid pitcher for that 5th spot (these guys or anyone else that's been rumoured), I will be more than pissed. There's just absolutely no need - it should be Peavy, and have the most kick-arse rotation ever, or give one of our young guys the shot and save the money. Nothing in between!
