Roy Halladay sweepstake

Guest

First topic message reminder :

Where do you guys think Roy Halladay will end up? Halladay has made it clear that he will reject any trade offers once the the season starts. Do you think he will be gone before the season begins?

There are some teams in the running for Halladay but the Angels and the Phillies are the front-runners for Halladay. I think the Yankees have some interest in him too. The Angels already made an offer to the Jays for Halladay. The Angels would ship Saundes, Aybar, and Bourjos for Halladay. I haven't heard anything about it since.

The Phillies have been aggressively pursing Halladay but the Jays' asking price might be too high. The Phillies probably will include J.A. Happ (who I really like), Brown/Taylor (prospect), and one more prospect for Halladay but the Jays want Kyle Drabek to be included too. The Phillies WON'T let Drabek go. He's the Phillies' future starter.

I think Halladay will stay put in Toronto and wait till the end of the season to become a FA.

I just found out that the Phillies will give up Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor, and Travis d'Aarnaud to the Jays but the Phillies will get RHP Phillippee Aumont and one more prospect from the Mariners to off-set their losses of prospects. I was sad to see Drabek go but I looked up Aumont online and that guy is sick. He's 6'7" and has some nasty stuff. He's been constantly compared to Randy Johnson. The Phillies will get another top-notch prospect from the Ms too. This should be a good trade for all 3 teams. The Ms get one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball in Hernandez and Lee. The Jays get top-notch prospects from the Phillies. The Philles gets the best pitcher in baseball in Halladay and a bright pitching prospect in Aumont. I don't know who the other player will be but he should be good.

WTF.

So the M's get an ace.

Jays get great prospects.

And the Phillies? Oh well, they get BOTH.
How is that fair? lol.

No...he's more of a 5 tool player...

He has a beast of a throwing arm....
idk much about his fielding range though....

He hits for average...(right now)
And he has pretty good speed...

And people say that he has the potential to develop "great" power...

But no...he doesn't run that fast lol..
he's not a leadoff hitter...
