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.
- Tim Hudson (970)
- Don Newcombe (945)
- Mike Mussina (942)
- Dennis Leonard (940)
- John Candelaria (929)
- Ramon Martinez (929)
- Jack McDowell (928)
- Kevin Millwood (918)
- Scott McGregor (918)
- 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.
