[...] November 18th, 2009 at 5 :55 pm. Months from now, Alex Anthopolous will call Cashman in the middle of the night, disoriented, in a room with a dead hooker. He’ll give us Halladay for Eric Wordekemper, straight up. …. He had one more year left than Halladay and cost a bona fide starter, a bona fide reliever and a 26- year -old player with high expectations. Reply.

I tend to get all giddy like when some super-awesome new electronic gadget comes out, and I know I have a perfectly good working whatever it is, but the thought of the flashy new thing makes my brain short circuit to “I must have this” levels. This is the same feeling I get when I read “Yankees have real reason to believe they can land Halladay.” I know, know, know that they don’t need him, but I sure as Hell do want him.

(the preceding has been a completely irrational statement)

Maybe the Yanks buy all the good players and instead of playing the season they can award the trophy on opening day and the parade could be on the 1st of May.
I say this as a Yankee fan since the 50′s. Produce some new young stars and watch them grow. That is the joy of being a fan.

You: Does anyone doubt that Cashman actually inquired about Halladay?
Me: Yes. I doubt it.

… aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, SCENE!

They can’t do better than that, which is why the Yanks could offer less and still get Halladay. Not that I would do this, but the Jays probably could not do better than Joba for Halladay straight up.

I’d still rather keep Joba and add a free agent starter in 2010 or 2011 than trade Joba away.

Joba + Halladay/Beckett/Lee/Webb/Felix/Cain/etc. >>>>>>>>> Halladay with no Joba

Good gracious…

You didn’t say you “doubted” they would. You said they wouldn’t, which remains a vastly overstated and unnecessary way of making your point.

That you seemingly remained committed to the notion to the Yanks wouldn’t simply do periodic due diligence to the point of calling Heyman’s reporting “bullshit” based on nothing but your own assumption is pure stubbornness.

That said, NONE of us know for certain Hughes, Chamberlain and Montero are untouchable, and will be in the future.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t, or are, they might very well be, but any FAN claiming it as a absolute certainty is again, just being stubborn.

if Toronto will extend an extension window for Halladay, then i have NO problem moving Joba in this trade.

Joba Chamberlain
Ian Kennedy
Melky
Mike Dunn

personally, i don’t expect the Blue Jays can do any better then this.
