HuskyCaucasian Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Jon Heyman im being told #halladay will agree on deal with #phillies, which would finalize trade. but not likely to happen today, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunk23 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) So is this actually done? Heyman thinks it's pretty much finalized but won't be done for a few days. Heyman is an idiot but I think he actually broke this one.

Steve9347 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 14, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) Replacing youth with aging... Right. Cliff Lee: Aug 30, 1978 Roy Halladay: May 14, 1977 That one year is going to make a hellofa difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I maybe in the minority, but I would rather lock up Cliff Lee at this point than Halladay. I love Roy but Lee is younger and a lefty. Not too many dominant lefties in the league like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well the NL is certainly spoken for next year (you could probably say that with Lee as well). Lee has been great the last two years. But Halladay has been great the last eight years. And with Halladay reportedly willing to sign an extension, it's a no-brainer for the Phillies. I am very interested to see what prospects the Phils are trading. And the Mariners are going to be DANGEROUS next year. And lol@the Angels. They can't be too happy right about now.

But Halladay > Lee. There's just no way around that fact. The Phillies are a better team with Halladay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Angels are probably looking at a 3rd place finish with how improved the Ms and Rangers are looking. I think the Ms will be a very strong team next year. Mind-blowing defense, strong pitching and a rather balanced offense. They need a power hitter and then they're pretty much a complete team.

Quin Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Lee and Hernandez gives the Mariners like, the hands down best 1-2 punch in the playoffs. I'd still like to think the Sox have the best 1-2-3-4 punch though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Washburn last year with the Ms compared to his numbers with the Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "hypothetical" had a 3rd team involved to get Lee. Whoa, your post is gone...but preserved forever. You keep beating me to the delete, dude. This is awesome.
