New York Daily News: "A team official said John Maine's emergence - he's tossed 17 consecutive scoreless innings - has significantly reduced the urgency to find a starting pitcher in a market that's far from overwhelming, with veterans such as Pittsburgh's Kip Wells and Washington's Livan Hernandez mentioned most often."
