For Oswalt, I would assume you would have to give up Buchholz. If you didnt, you'd have to give up Bowden and Ellsbury. Oswalt is an elite pitcher, up there with Santana and still very young. You wont get him cheap.
If you think a guy like Lidge who has rebounded this season, is coming cheap, they you are smoking something. Last yr was the yr to get him. This yr, it will cost a high level prospect.
I mean, what is he waiting for? us to lose the lead? I hate Joe Torre more than you can imagine. I seriously hope something bad happens to him so he has to step down. I know that is not healthy, but seriously. This is ridiculous.
