I think Theo would be willing to part with HH + just about anyone except for Casey Kelly, but Kelly's going to be the other one they ask for. I don't know how hard they're pushing this idea, but it may come down to whether or not we can put together a package (in addition to Buchholz) which will make them happy without Kelly.<br /><br />I have heard 5/85 for Lackey.
