I'm not sure there are any Fister-types out there. Fister had a poor record pre-trade, which lowered the cost to get him. He was a better pitcher than his record, though, and we banked on that. There just aren't any guys this year with particularly poor records or fluky ERA (compared to actual pitching accumen) that would turn out well for cheap. And at this point (Turner/Smyly/Porcello/Scherzer looking pretty bad and Fister still seemingly hurt), I'm not sure we can afford to bank on getting less than a #2 starter if we want to just make the playoffs.
I think it's time to really just throw some caution to the wind. Turner's value isn't increasing anymore until he gets 100% healthy and starts throwing more strikes. But, he's not exactly a lost cause either as other teams can still see he has the stuff to be better. Castellanos may be very good, but he's also years away (this roster is built to win now, and most of our players are already maxed out). We may not be able to wait long enough to get Castellanos into the outfield. I'm not saying throw them away willy nilly, but Cole Hamels is a top of the rotation level pitcher.
