The Tribe desperately needs a solid starting pitcher and the time to do that is now but what i think should happen is that due to derek lowe s age try to get a 3rd party interested in a minor guy like him in a rotation that could use some help while in the mean time the indians would get an upgrade in the rotation

Some pitchers the indians should look to aquire include grinkee (hes shown that he can pitch in the AL when he was with the royals), cole hammels (he would be a rental but could very much help in the roation especially if the indians make the playoffs), garza (the one that makes the most sense comparing he can pitch well on teams that are contenders or are winning; has shown that he can pitch in the AL [East{a harder divison}], and is still a young pitcher [who could sign cheaper]

Potential teams for derek lowe

rays (a team that really needs veteran leadership, plays good defense could be a nice fit) baltimore (a team that needs like 1 starter the system is full of prospects) the red sox??? [if they consider themselves a contending team], (they NEED pitching) nationals (2 or 3 lights out starters might be nice for a NL type pitcher) phillies (if hammels is dealt like he is supppose to they will need someone to fill that role), the cardinals ( a team that needs pitching especailly if they make they playoffs) the tigers? (if the indians get involved in a divison trade the tigers will probably need to give up a prospect or 2) the giants???? (that roatation stacked as is right now with cain, lincicum and more but might use lowe as a #5 starter), dodgers (they always need pitching)
