It depends on the acquisition cost of getting a starter or two.
If it costs guys that kind of stink like Rajai Davis, Eric Thames, David Cooper, Chad Jenkins, Sierra, McDade, or any of the other middling prospects, then it would be a good deal. I'd even throw Gose or one of the decent starter prospects like Nicolino in a deal possibly if the starter is young/good enough.
My hope would be to get Cliff Lee and Matt Garza of the Phillies and Cubs personally.
Both are very good quality and your rotation would consist of Lee, Morrow, Garza, Romero, and Alvarez. You could probably deal Gose + Dyson + Thames/Cooper etc to the Cubs for Garza, and Nicolino + D'Arnaud + Minor prospect for Lee. You wouldn't really see a big hit to the overall prospect pool because we have so much depth at all positions but would see a big time improvement on the pro team.
