On second thought regarding Halladay...

I think I may be backing off of the Halladay bandwagon. The dude is good, we all know that. But, let's look at his comparables on BR.

  1. Tim Hudson (970)
  2. Don Newcombe (945)
  3. Mike Mussina (942)
  4. Dennis Leonard (940)
  5. John Candelaria (929)
  6. Ramon Martinez (929)
  7. Jack McDowell (928)
  8. Kevin Millwood (918)
  9. Scott McGregor (918)
  10. Andy Pettitte (917)

Consider me underwhelmed for a guy who would be demanding 3 top tier prospects. There is not one hall of famer in that bunch (yet, though maybe Mussina and definitely Pettite). Hey, I want Halladay, but he just doesn't strike out a ton which could be a problem in our park. If he were a free agent, I'd say to throw the wallet at him. But paying him his money AND the prospects for him might be too much.
