Gammons on Braves Pitching

For those of you who dont have time to waste on ESPN Inisder, this today from Peter Gammons:
"The Braves will deal kids, but not Jarrod Saltalamacchia or Yunel Escobar, to find someone to fill in at the end of the rotation; John Smoltz, Tim Hudson, Chuck James and Buddy Carlyle are 31-19, but the other starters are an ugly 4-17, 6.41."

I think that there is no way that July 31 passes without a move for a starter from JS.  I think that it is pretty likely that we get someone to plug in at #5 as there will probably be alot of sellers (Washington, St. Louis, Oakland) that would be willing to take talent that is not major league ready.  But I also thing that we are going to get what we are missing and no more, a #5 guy.
I think that the next week and a half will make or break the season.
