Sorry, had to repost it so I could read it easier... If you really want Wagner I would probably start off with Lilly if no, then Santana and I wouldn't go any higher then Scherzer. I'm still not 100% sold on Wagner being able to stay healthy all year, but I can see why you would shoot for him, young then Hoffman, and much less expensive then Broxton and Rivera. I would just for fun try shooting him AJ for Broxton to see if he would bite, probably not, but AJ I think is a lowly #2, High K rate, but a little overvalued IMO. Solid staff, but honeslty I may only trade a couple backend starters because you don't have a true ace. Oswalt is an injury concern, Lilly will miss at least the first 2 starts of the year if not more, Liriano is either big boom or huge bust, Santana coming of a shaky year still needs to improve, Scherzer moved leagues and into a non-pitcher friendly park and Slowey had season ending wrist surgery in which they put 2 pins in his throwing wrist. So there are definitely some questions there, If it were me I would roll with 2 Closers as saves are ALWAYS able to be had throughout the year on the WW and instead shift my focus to try and combo maybe a Burnett/Price together and go after a true ace.

Great thanks to soto for the sweet sig!...
