Watching him beat us yesterday, I had the exact same thought. And Nolasco shouldn't cost a mint to acquire.
Watching Suppan beat us in a mid-season game resulted in us getting him as an innings eater #3, and it kind of worked for us. But when you go for a #3, a lot of things can happen: Suppan, Lohse, Westbrook, all come to mind. So, do Tomko, Wells, etc.
I understand what you're saying, but the combination of Carpenter and Suppan won as many World Series titles as did Schilling/Johnson or Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz and won one more than Halladay/Lee/Hamels.
Last year, the Giants best pitcher in the post-season was Ryan Vogelsong.

Re: Father's Day Gamecrap
A case could be made that the cards need a co ace.
Not that I want to be seen advocating for Lee, but a Wainright-Lee 1-2 punch would be like Johnson-Schilling, Maddux-Glavine, etc.
Remember playing AZ all those years ago, trying to get through Johnson and Schilling?
I remember sweeping them in the 2002 LDS with a rotation that featured Matt Morris and Chuck Finley.

Schilling was the one who gave them problems. They used to hit Johnson pretty well.

Re: Father's Day Gamecrap
Chris Duncan just asked Dave McKay if locking up a young player is the way baseball is heading. I'm dead serious.
That's why these former players get hired. So they can ask penetrating questions that a member of the media who never played the game professionally would ever think of asking.

It's only lefties that can't hit 90 mph on the radar gun that give them troubles.

Morris pitched some of his best games against AZ in the 2001 and 2002 playoffs. We lost the series 2-3 in 2001, with Schilling killing us twice.
