"Need" is a funny word...

...we rarely need anything. We want everything, but very little of it is actually important. Take for example this quote from Peter Gammons' latest coulmn:
"The Angels, who recently were shopping Ramon Ortiz because of his unhappiness with his role as a reliever, now need him because of Aaron Sele's injury."
Do we really need Ramon Ortiz to make the two starts that Sele will miss? Do we even need Ortiz on this roster at all?
