Hanson was drafted in the 22nd round, what changed is he performed.
This isn’t exactly apples-to-apples. Firstly, like Efrim said Happ has oodles of minor league exposure that’s taken into consideration. Secondly, Hanson was a draft-and-follow, so taken in the 22nd round really isn’t indicative of his talent level IMO. And, of course, draft rounds aren’t all that indicative anyway because players rise/fall due to signability concerns all the time…

Halladay would make the current team stronger, but would he make the organization better? Probably not, with the probability of losing Drabek and Happ +others. They would have to resign Roy to a new contract to make this even a feasible trade,no guarantees there.

Efrim-The question was not does Halladay improve the Phillies-he does. No doubt about it. However, does he make them a lock to win the Division? Hell No he doesn’t. They are still a majorly flawed team-especially their pitching-even with hi,. Improvement-yes. Lock to win the division- No.

Anyone else think that we’re going to see a very quiet deadline around here? Absolutely the only rumor that has even popped up was about our scouts at the White Sox and AA Dodgers. Konerko has been shot down and I’m not seeing any other fits with those. FW is either keeping things very quiet or doesn’t have much going on.

Indeed I did; no need to exaggerate to prove your point. And you said “against the Red Sox, Rays and Yanks,” which is not the same as “the AL East”.

BAS-I’m not sure what Seth’s problem was last night, but the Brewer’s site is listing it as elbow discomfort. He had Tommy Johnson surgery some years ago (maybe 4-5 years), but as we’re starting to see, the potential for more trouble is becoming apparent. It would seem that the TJ procedure is not the panacea we were thinking it was. Yet another reason I’m not willing to go out on a limb and hand Hudson $13 million based on a few starts the last month and a half of this season.

Steve from OH, thanks. I’m not saying it is impossible for something to click for a guy like Happ, who is 26 years old. But chances are he isn’t going to stray too far from what most people thought he was, which is a back of the rotation starter.
Maybe I am looking at this all wrong, and it really is a true buyers market where the Jays aren’t going to get too much for the best pitcher in baseball. Kind of makes me ill, considering the perceived value of what we gave up for Teixiera. I know he is an elite hitter, but he isn’t wasn’t “the best” hitter. I can’t think of even one starting pitcher I’d rather have on my team than this guy.

Lew, well, if we really want to get specific, does any player traded mid season make the other team a lock for a division title? I think you just try to make an upgrade to your team, and hopefully that pans out. Which is probably what the Phillies have in mind if they make the deal. There aren’t any “locks” in baseball.

CB-And with the payroll those boomers like Howard and Utley are demanding now and into the future, I know for a fact that the Phillies are at the limits of their payroll capabilities. AND, they will need to acquire more pitching this winter. Moyer is just NOT going to keep going effectively like some Energizer Pitching Rabbit and Blanton will have to be extended (or not) sooner or later.
Halladay wn’t just cost them the best of their young pitching, but a bundle of $$$$$ they may not even have. Theirs is a large City and they are currently pulling in the fans, but they’re still not LA, NY, Boston (who owns an entire region) or Chicago.

I think that Rick Ankiel has to have the BEST arm in the outfield in baseball. He just robbed Jason Werth of a home run……..then threw the ball ON THE FLY to first base, from the center field wall, almost over throwing Pulols at first, trying to double up Ibanez.
Dude makes Francoeur arm’s look like a 10 year old little girl. I’m not knocking Francoeur arm’s so much as I’m giving Ankiel his due. Dude has a freaking CANNON.

Unfortunatly I think the Phillies pull the trigger on the Halliday deal. Their window of opp. is running short. the core of that team is over 30. However I did find it interesting that Halliday believes hes staying so maybe I’m wrong. I dont have time to read all the blogs but I do wonder has Paul “I Know it all” Lentz has admitted he was wrong about the sweep.

Our offense is taking the game out of Bobby’s hands when it comes to who he brings in from the bullpen in a close game prior to the 9th inning…..as well as who he brings in to pinch hit when we need a big hit.
As long as we keep winning by 5 plus runs a game………it wont matter who comes in from the bullpen or pinch hits.
However, eventually our offense will cool off……….and then you guys will see how Moylan, Kelly, and Norton do in “critical” situations.

Elvis Andrus (MLB) – .254 3 HR 17 RBI .315 OBP .346 SLG .661 OPS
Jarrod Saltalamacchia (MLB) – .242 7 HR 30 RBI .292 OBP .371 SLG .663 OPS
Beau Jones (AA) – (2-4) 5.88 ERA 1.96 WHIP
Neftali Feliz (AAA) – (4-5) 3.44 ERA 1.27 ERA (may be the ONLY piece we miss from this trade)
Wasn’t as bad as people make it.
In essence for those guys we got a year of Teixera, 2.5 years of kotchman, and stephen merek I make that trade ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!

You’re discounting, of course, the fact that Andrus already plays fantastic defense and is 20 years old, whereas most 20 year-olds are in college or in rookie ball or A ball somewhere. Heck, Erik Cordier in hi-A is 23 and Mycal Jones in Danville is 22. EA is a lot younger than them. Anyway, my point on him is that he’s already a plus defender, and above replacement-level with the bat. He’s still got a lot of room to grow, and his floor is probably a league-average stick with ++ defense=valuable player. Feliz will, at the very least, be a power arm out of the ‘pen and a future closer IMO. So let’s not act like we gave up nothing, because we did give them at least two useful players in the future.

I wouldn’t necessarily compare Harrison to H. Ramirez because Harrison is more of a power pitcher. But I guess the thing they have in common is dealing with injuries and ineffectiveness at the big league level. Regarding the Tex trade, I still think it is too soon to make a final evaluation about which team fared better. It’s kind of like the “experts” who grade the NFL draft the day after it is completed – you can’t really assess that until years later (remember when everyone said the Falcons had a steal after drafting Jimmy Williams).

That’s pretty superficial. Those stats were accumulated playing at Rome at age 17, Myrtle at 18, AA Frisco at 19, and no AAA. How many 17-year olds (that are still juniors or maybe seniors in HS here) can hit .265/.324 in full-season A ball? Didn’t think so. Furthermore, his career OPS is skewed by a low career SLG, which, admittedly, I’m worried about for him. His career AVG/OBP is .275/.343, which, with a .375+ SLG, would probably translate to a .320’s or low-.330’s wOBA, which equals an average stick. Like I said, you’re really underestimating the impact of playing at an advanced level at such a young age. IMO those numbers are impressive from a cat of his age. He’s got nowhere to go but up.

The A Bomb……….needless-to-say I forgot to insert the “mil” next to the $126 when I made my sarcastic posting about signing Kelly Johnson to an extension, lol.

Efrim: All I can say is, people get it wrong. Opinions vary. Just because people expected one thing and another happened, doesn’t mean squat. Happ is doing well. Perhaps this is the real deal for him, perhaps not. But what people thought of his performance in the minors isn’t the end all be all.

Oh yeah, I’d take Glaus in a heartbeart if the Cards would take on some of his salary. Also like the idea of trading Casey for a good reliever. Only problem would be who would play first if Glaus got hurt? I guess Prado could and maybe by that time Infante would be ready to fill in at 2nd. Anyways, like that idea.

Piedmont Blues (x-BFIR)……………Harrison has to get healthy and stay healthy if he is ever going to be “serviceable”. That is why I compared him to Horatio Ramirez.
