08:14 AM ET 07.10 | Before running up some impressive derby homer numbers Monday night, Jose Bautista took another kind of shot when asked how many starters the Blue Jays needed for the second half. "Well, we lost three," [Bautista] told reporters Monday afternoon . ... Bautista was told it's tough to obtain one pitcher, how difficult would it be for general manager Alex Anthopoulos to obtain three. How many prospects would that take? "If that's what it takes ... it has to be done," said Bautista. "I know it's wishful thinking, maybe we can add one and win. Maybe people like Brett Cecil and other guys take advantage of the opportunity. Given an opportunity in crucial situations brings out the best sometimes."

The only team with excess starting pitching is the Rays, and they aren't going to help improve the Jays.

I got an idea. Trade Jose Bautista for some pitchers.

I can think of a couple names on the Red Sox that I'd like to see go in a trade.

Jose I don't know the last time you look at the standings but your 9 and a half games out at the break. Instead of your organization looking for pitching they might be in the clearance business.
