Peter Gammons seems to think Heyward could be a Sept call up. Not sure if the Braves will rush him. He started the season in A ball, after all.

But, if we bring Hewyard up early it will most certainly crack his psyche, leading to poor performance and mental health problems.

Efrim: “larger argument that most people don’t understand”
Isn’t the point of adjusted stats to “level the playing field”? ERA+ and so forth were developed to compare players across divisions and leagues. Unless I’m totally mistaken. If so, please correct that assertion.
Having said that I think McLouth of the South has a very valid point when applied to this year only. I’ve been thinking the same thing for quite some time. “[The Phillies] have already been in good shape in that slot. Replacing Happ with Halladay, assuming Happ goes in the trade, doesn’t address the pitching DEPTH problem which is the real issue.”
The only caveat I can see is the old addage of veteran over youth. Much like the Braves used to justify keeping Norton, a terrible hitter this year with no defensive skill, over Brooks Conrad and/or KJ who each hold more promise and positional strength over Norton. In the post season that could be the difference maker. Happ might pull an Ankiel where as it is 99.9999% certain Halladay will hold up well.
In addition the trade would be a two post-season deal, at the least. Happ could be a “flash in the pan” and not be anything remotely close to good next season, where as Halladay is 99.9999% certain to be hold up.
But the pitching depth for this season, and this season alone, is not addressed with a Halladay trade. And, if the trade does include Happ and Drabek, it sounds like it would actually hurt the pitching depth going forward, as good as Halladay is.
I’ve been talking it over with friends and relatives and while the Braves don’t have a Halladay, per se, the quantity/quality is incredible this season, five pitchers deep and only projected to get deeper. It’s good for the bullpen, good for the team spirit as well.

To answer a few of the questions aimed in my direction on the past couple of pages-
No, I don’t think that the addition of Halladay makes the Phillies a lock for the division. The rest of their pitching staff sucks-even Hamels is not his usual self. Blanton is iffy on any given day and Moyer would be a great pitcher if he could face the Marlins 35 times each season.
In addition, they just placed two of their best (relative term there) relievers on the DL, have lost two of their last three getting pounded and are NOT going to play at the level they have been recently on an indefinite basis.. Halladay would be an improvement over Happ, of course, but losing Happ weakens them off the bat and negates at the very least, some of the benefit to the rotation Hallady would bring. Read Random’s response, he had it right.
Now, as to Schafer hitting so well through Spring Training-BFD, it was Spring Training, which doesn’t mean a damned thing. Also, no matter how well he did this spring, some of us realized that he wouldn’t carry it into the season. If y’all remember, for a good bit of the spring, he wasn’t even hitting against much more than AA and AAA pitching since the best were at the WBC. Besides, in hindsight, as well as the foresight SOME of us had early on, Schafer hardly lit it up in the bigs, did he? Case closed. ST means diddly.
No, I would NOT advocate going out and getting Josh Anderson at this point. I would rather see us get some bullpen backup for middle relief. Some power would be nice, but not at a high price. It is also not as essential now that they are hitting somewhat closer to their capabilities.
Lew
July 25th, 2009
3:27 pm
Oh yeah, one more point-since we’re the Phillies main competition at this point and we have owned them this year and soundly beat Halladay in our head to head meeting, no I don’t think he gives them a lock.

I don’t know if we need to do anything rash regarding getting more players…this team is hot and I’d like to see how we match up with a, now, hot Philly team before we ‘up the mortgage’. Now if Philly gives away the farm for that pitcher in Toronto – you know, the one Atlanta beat the last time we faced him – we might have to consider something, but until then I’d just like to see how we match up with them now. Of course, I’d still like to see Conrad back here. Sure Norton got a single last night, then they had to pinch-run for him – how can they keep justifying that?
By the way, they’re (whoever ‘they’ are) talking about Philly trading away a 7-0, likely rookie of the year, pitcher, plus some more, for Halladay? It’d be like us trading Benson. And as for being afraid of the Cardinals because of their Holliday (or whatever his name is), did you see that 4-5 bit last night – he hit one ball hard, the rest were flares akin to Francoeur’s ‘mammoth’ drive to ‘extreme-short’ right field in his first game with the Mets – the one with all the air under it. This guy, Holly-person, hasn’t hit his weight all year in Oakland, why do you think he’ll somehow be a ‘protector’ for Pujols (I’m never sure how that’s spelled).

Tennesee Paul: You’re right about ERA+, park adjusted stats and what not. My point was that people don’t really look towards those stats nearly enough.
They certainly have pitching depth issues, that I agree with. I suppose my point is that Happ was regarded by almost everyone as a 5th starter prior to this season. What changed? I’m a little confused by that. Sure, he has had a very good 100 innings. But at 26 going on 27, he isn’t that young. I mean, he isn’t 22 like Hanson. I bet the Phillies would rather deal Happ than Drabek.
Also, I think the Phillies have a pretty good chance of winning this division given that they are 7 games up in the loss column. The Halladay trade would probably only increase their chances of winning in the playoffs by like 10%. So maybe that isn’t worth the prospects and money, but when you add on next year, and the hope that he signs an extension(pretty laid back guy that just wants to win), then I think it’s a no brainer given the depth they have in the minors, and the current age of the team(Werth, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Rollins all turning 29-31 within the year).
Lew, agree to disagree. I think Halladay makes them more of a favorite than they are right now, with a seven game lead in the loss column. And why refer to the one game we faced Halladay? That was one game and I thought he pitched pretty well.

Efrim-Yeah, he did. We pitched better. THAT’S why I’m not worried about it. They have some boomers (most of them prone to streakiness), but our pitching, even if they have Halladay, is better-MUCH better-even in a playoff scenario.
I think the reasons for our lack of offense earlier this year are gone and have been replaced with more effective bats. I think it much more likely that we will continue our current offensive pace than it is the Phillies continue the pitching effectiveness they showed during their recent run (which I would be willing to bet is over).
Halladay definitely would help their rotation. Just not enough to negate any run the Braves would have-ESPECIALLY since we still have nine games against the Phillies (notice I said He wouldn’t make them a lock, not that he wouldn’t help). Yes, we only beat Halladay once this year, but we have beaten the Phillies 7 of 9-beaten them both at home and away. They can be beaten.

Hanson hadn’t pitched in the minors yet. There has to be some sort of reason “everyone” said it, right? Happ had a full minor league career of scouts looking at him against other minors league hitters when opinions were formed prior to this season. I think the info you take away from years of minor league performance are a little more important than the stuff you see prior to the draft.

Where have you been bravofanman, prison!?
Seems they ran outa money when stadium was built. Material was lacking to completely finish roof. The stadium’s South end (outfield portion) was structurally unified and placed on 200 links of heavy-cargo track. When roof is closed, entire outfield is hydraulically pulled/relocated 10-feet due North. This cost-saving alteration makes the hole smaller to accommodate an undersized roof. Quite ingenious I’d say!

I like Chase Utley…but….I don’t see how he doesn’t KEEP a broken hand…as much as he crowds the plate….Pitchers should just pound him inside constantly…he’d eventually back off a bit…or stay on the diasbled list….

Pete, a third of his starts. 8 of his 19 against the AL East to date. Sorry about that. But I think you got my point…..or maybe you didn’t.

Nice explanation, Shamus. That’s some roof they’ve got there.

Where did Paul go? vacation maybe….. — jeffrey d
Vacation from what?? All he does, from the time he gets up until the time he goes to sleep is post. Over 100 redundant posts per day. He states the obvious and then repeats it over and over and over. The funny thing is that he actually thinks he’s intelligent.
I say he cashed in some of his online poker winnings and went for a finger massage and a manicure. He’s preparing for a big Saturday night. As a matter of fact, I’d say you can bank on it!

The Philles are terrible. There is no way they have a chance against us. They better watch out, them and their 11 All Stars.

Random,
can’t believe you let MFin09/TnBrian/Jeff321’s comment about you being “DOB’s boy” slide. Aren’t you one of the few who likes to challenge DOB?
And, Lew, what’s up with your boy McClung?
And to the dude who mentioned Hanson and the roof being closed. The Milwaukee announcers last night said that it becomes extremely humid, and still hot with the roof closed. McCann seemed to struggle with the specs last night. As far as Hanson, he’s from up north of me in CA: hotter than the sun, but a “dry heat.” (Damn, I hate that phrase.)
