From a Pirates blog, a good point about perceived value of SPs that we can take advantage of:
Rodriguez: 6.1 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, 0.9 HR/9, 50.7% GB ratio
Other Left-Hander: 5.9 K/9, 2.5 BB/9, 0.9 HR/9, 50.0% GB ratio
So who is that other left-hander? None other than Paul Maholm, who is three years younger than Rodriguez, and is owed much less (Maholm makes $4.25 M this year, and has a $6.5 M option next year).
If you thought Wandy would be a good get at that price, this would be a much better and cheaper get. Doesn't solve all our problems... but it solves one problem, and it's within reason. Thoughts?

I'd be interested if he doesn't cost much.

I wouldn't trade much for him...certainly not as much as Wandy costed the Pirates.
He is another example of someone that I really wouldn't want to pitch over the guys we already have.
If you aren't going to add Johnson, just go with what you have and focus on improving the offense and defense.
