Dude . . . read that one again: "but NOT West and 2 of Maybin/Morrison/Stanton/Coghlan." -
CoolOriginally posted by The Hanram View PostHanley had fallen in their organization somewhat. He had some "behavioral" issues and his minor league stats never really matched up to his talent. Of course, we all know that he was just coasting in the minors and it worked out well for us.

They got what they wanted tho for him a young 2B/3B. We were out of the Sherrill talk when they would not come off of Chris CoghlanOriginally posted by marlinsfan24 View Post
It will probably end up Bell or Dewitt plus a prospect or 2Comment

I don't see how Stanton/Morrison, West, Coghlan, and Tucker is overkill for Halladay. We should be running to do that, assuming Loria will pay the salary. We can replace West by 2011, we have a billion RP, we have Bonifacio (lame I know but still), and we lose one of the big three hitting prospects, but still have Gaby/Cousins to hopefully be decent behind them.Originally posted by m26555 View Post
Who cares? Then just find a body that can OPS .750 for 3B and win the wild card with Halladay, JJ, Nolasco, and Volstad killing people the rest of the year.Comment

MLBTRADERUMORS.com2:19pm: SI's Jon Heyman says that in their initial conversation, the Mariners requested Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes for Washburn. That pair and other top Yankees prospects figure to be off limits, but Heyman still sees New York as the favorite.

I am a HUGE proponent of the "win now" mentality, but I don't know; two of Stanton/Morrison/Maybin/Coghlan just seems like a lot to me. I guess you're right, though. I just don't see why we would have to give up that much when it looks like everyone else is dropping out of the Halladay sweepstakes (assuming that the Jays DEFINITELY deal Halladay before the deadline).Originally posted by lou View PostComment

At no point did the Jays ever make it appear that they have a real need to deal Halladay. It has never been a must that they deal him before the deadline and would take what they could get. They said they gon listen to offers and apparently want quite a bit for him.Comment

The interesting consideration is the new stadium. If we trade for Halladay and give up some future, it doesn't have to fit in with the whole 'win now, lose later' mantra. Assuming we add on payroll in three years, I don't see why we can't start trading and signing quality players rather than being forced to raise them from the farm. In that case, losing a Morrisson or Stanton should not hurt us as much in the long run compared to our current low-payroll mentalityRecord when He pitches: 3-2Comment

Sure, it's a lot. But it's not organizationally crippling.Originally posted by m26555 View Post
Plus, there is ALWAYS the option of trading Halladay after the year and it's not like you don't recoup 90 cents on the dollar in a worst case scenario if you do that.Comment

That is the problem. They don't need to deal him. He will be as valuable next year as this year. Its not like he is eligible for arbitration or needs a new deal.Originally posted by BeefWillingham View PostComment
