This is not a video game... just because you want an Ace pitcher, does not mean you have the option to get one... because frankly... Bauer is the only one available.. and at the current price I've heard, he's WAY over priced at the moment... everyone else that I've heard IS AVAILABLE.. are at best #4 level starters... I know there are rumors... but just from reading this you should know that just because someone creates a rumor of a deal.. does not mean that the players involved are actually available... often, it just someones dream deal.
