Official Roy Halladay Thread

[zack54attack]

The Cubs will get Peavy when he's healthy. I don't like the Cubs roster, it doesn't mesh well and it will show later this year during crunch time.

As far as Halladay goes, it's a tough call for the Jays. It's basically a lose lose if they get prospects until those prospects get to the bigs and we see if it paid off or not.

I really wish that happens.

I doubt it though. They had their shot at Peavy and blew it. The deal was there in the Winter Meetings, but Hendry pulled out of it.

It says the Cubs have interest, but might not have the pieces.

Man that would be a sick rotation. Big Z, Halladay, Lilly, Harden, Wells

How dare you insult Doc by putting him behind Zambrano in your rotation. Good god..

Thats not the rotation lol... Thats just who i listed for them pitching lol.

The rotation would be...

Halladay, Big Z, Lilly, Harden, Demp or Wells.

[zack54attack]

Zambrano is gone after this year anyway.

No. He said he will retire when his contract is up. Thats in 2012.

[Kuzzy Powers]

The Angels have to be the favorite to get him at this point:
LA Times is reporting that the Angels are planning on blowing away the competition in order to get Roy Halladay. Their package could include Jared Weaver, Brandon Wood, Trevor Reckling or Jordan Walden and then someone like Erick Aybar or Howie Kendrick.

Heh funny because Roy Halladay pitches terrible in Anaheim.

[Kuzzy Powers]

Halladay has been shit since coming off the DL. Just thought id throw that out there as I watch this Jays game thats making me lose my hair.

I'll take 6 strikeouts, no walks, 3 earned runs. The Phillies could give him more than 1 run and help him get some W's

What about the 9 hits in 5 innings, you like that ratio, too?

Hes struggling right now, no way around it. He hasnt been the same pitcher since coming off the DL. I fully expect him to get his shit together, but these be the facts.

Compared to our starting rotation in Philly, yes. lol

[MVP1991]

Beckett, Halladay, Lester, Penny or Smoltz or Dice-K and Wakefield = Championship

[Kuzzy Powers]

Doesn't matter he's a proven winner, CY young contender, and he would be going to the National League where he will have even more of an advantage for the rest of the year before they get tape on him.

Im not denying that Roy is the best pitcher in the game, he is. I was just stating that he has indeed not been pitching very well since coming off the DL, he probably came off it too soon.

Holliday hinted @ wanting to be traded to the yankees.

Halladay, who deftly maneuvered around a barrage of questions for more than 15 minutes, said he would not mind going to the National League or a bigger market.

"I'd rather hit than face Jeter, A-Rod, Matsui and Teixeira," Halladay said.

So why not join them? :D

[chazmaniandevil]

hes not going to the yanks, they already said theyre not going to do it (see page 1)

I wouldn't take that as the truth. Sherman only wrote that in the past, Yankees officials have been reluctant to trade big prospects for high salaried players, such as Johan. The Yankees do have an interest in Halladay, but they will not overpay. They need something to get them up to the next level over the Red Sox, but they will not add a ton more salary AND give up the top prospects for Halladay. If the Yankees can somehow find a good medium, then they will be players. If the cost for Halladay is too high, then obviously many teams will drop out, including the Yankees.

If I'm the Yankees though, I'm not worried about saving my pitching prospects in a Halladay deal.

Lol.. not sure if you were joking but thats not a hint that he wants to join the Yanks.
