Subject: *Quality* pitching

I'm not trying to dump marginal #5 starters here, but instead have some quality pitchers to deal (as well as quality bullpen arms). What I am looking to do is consolidate for small upgrades or for upgrades over players in my lineup.

Among the players available are:
-Ryan Rupe
-Orlando Hernandez
-Jose Cueto
-Kurt Ainsworth
-Nick Neugebauer
-Bruce Chen

And then some relievers:
-Jason Isringhausen
-Rich Garces
-Mariano Rivera
-Scott Eyre

In fact, any pitcher not named Beckett may find himself dealt. Now that it looks like the Eaton market has dried up, this may be your only chance at acquiring top-quality pitching.

Note that I'm not giving these guys away. None of them will be free agents, and there are no bad deals in the bunch so I am looking for more than a pair of mediocre prospects. Don't expect a response if you're going to offer Neil Cotts and Kevin Barker for Nick Neugebauer (just picking on Grayson because he knows better).

I will also take on bad contracts in a deal if I'm getting enough in return to offset picking them up. For example, if a player has a $6.5 million contract and he's worth about $2 million on the open market, I would need a net of $4.5 million of talent in return.

Remember once you get into the playoffs, anybody is capable of going all the way. So picking up a pitcher or two could immortalize you in DP history.
