Phillies continue hot pursuit of Halladay
Todd Zolecki speaks, you listen. This Roy Halladay affair is taking about a dozen years off my life.
Teams step up pursuit of Roy Halladay, Matt Holliday, Victor Martinez and Cliff Lee - Jon Heyman
The Jays are said to be aiming for a package that includes one of two top young pitchers, Kyle Drabek or J.A. Happ, plus one of two top outfielders, either Michael Taylor or Dominic Brown, plus a couple other highly regarded prospects. Shortstop Jason Donald and pitcher Carlos Carrasco are among other young prospects who are believed to have been discussed.
If they can get this done with Happ, Taylor, Donald, and Carrasco, I'd be very happy.

#6: IF YOU HAD A WEEK HOLIDAY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Jimmy Rollins says: I’ll probably go to the Caribbean somewhere. Jump on some jet skis, play some golf, make sure I line up some nice dinners, and have a couple Caribbean drinks…If I could go diving or swimming with some dolphins that’ll be cool. I’m a nature man myself.
Nature man? Dolphins?

Bill Conlin: In baseball, I'll take a five-tooler over a Cy Young Award winner
As great as Roy Halladay may be, the righthander of our affection comes to work only 34 games a year. And with an inferior cast behind him, a Cy Young-caliber ace can lead the league in most of the major categories and still lose more games than he wins. Which is what happened to 16-game loser Nolan Ryan the season the closer for a fourth-place team won the Cy Young Award.
Not. mutually. exclusive.
