I can believe it. Every team save a select few need pitching right now. Frankly its not worth it to go out and get one - the cost is simply too high.
We musn't forget that getting Chacin back will be like trading for a #3 starter at the deadline. If Burnett can pitch like he did today the team sets up nicely 1-4, and then its just a matter of one of Janssen or one of the other kids grabbing that 5th spot.
BTW on a related note, one of the most under-rated best bargains in MLB this season has been Reed Catalajohnson. What a player!
