that having been said i don't think we'll get him but i have said all along that we, probably more than any other team, have the prospects to trade without obliterating our minor league system"I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'm going to strip them of their health.

Here's what the general population (and probably a lot of baseball players think about the Marlins):
1. Hanley Ramirez is awesome (and will be traded in a firesale)
2. There will be another firesale soon
3. They won two World Series titles (and had firesales soon after)
4. They've had firesales without winning titles

Also Halladay knows that if we get him, it won't be for very long. I'm sure he'd prefer to go to a place where he could negotiate a new contract and have a place where he could settle down with his family and not always be wondering where he's going to be from year to year.

1:14pm: Yahoo's Tim Brown sees the Dodgers and Red Sox as the frontrunners for Doc in what is shaping up as a two-team race. Brown says the only Major Leaguer in the Dodgers' offer is James McDonald, while the Sox will part with Clay Buchholz, one of Justin Masterson, Michael Bowden, and Lars Anderson, and some lesser prospects. My guess is that the Red Sox find a way to get this done, given the quality they're already offering.

I can't wait until we are one team among every other team in baseball besides maybe one that doesn't get a deal done for Halladay and a shitload of people say the front office isn't creative, was just pretending to be interested so they could say, hey look, we tried, but never had any legit desire to acquire him, etc. etc. etc.
