You're never set at starting pitcher. Telling yourself you have enough is just setting yourself up to get hurt.

Because they get hurt -- like, all the time. No doubt, you've already experienced this. The only certainty at starting pitcher is that you'll lose some. Scarcely a week goes by when you don't.

The good news is that no position does a better job of replenishing itself. For as cruelly as it can rob a top investment of all his worth, it can so generously pull from obscurity some newcomer who makes for a surprisingly good facsimile, at least for a time. In that way, the volatility goes both ways at starting pitcher.

But the waiver wire feels like it's hit a dry spell, doesn't it? If you've just now had a need develop, you're more than likely straining to meet it.

Why not turn to the trade market, then? Here, I've identified six potentially high-end hurlers who you may be able to score at a discount.
