Looking at our pen right now, I'm not comfortable at all with Veras. He scares me more than Farnsworth. I'd find a new home for him and sign Lyon or Cruz and give up the 4th rounder.

Why rule out signing both of them? This market is crazy, who knows what will happen. Maybe throw in a little Juan Cruz while you're at it and call it an offseason.
