Again Why did we not go after him?

Not Johan Santana, although I am still miffed. Over the weekend, Erik Bedard, the best lefty in the AL got traded from the Orioles to the Mariners. This isn't as bad as the Santana deal because the Mariners aren't even in our league, but why are the Phillies not going after big name pitchers this offseason? That is the final piece to the puzzle. Get some more help in pitching and it's all over. What the hell are they thinking/waiting for?

I'm really getting ticked off.
