Part of my point. If AA is on the prowl for someone to be a Game 4 starter in a playoff series and he doesn't want to substantially overpay for whatever might be available this early (since he's nowhere close to KNOWING whether he's going to need one or not), he needs to do whatever it takes to make everybody else believe that's ALL they're going to need - and that he's comfortable cycling through the options he already has up until the deadline.
