counter the jays drabek+happ+brown+others offer with drabek + happ/brown/taylor (1 of them) + any other 2 guys in system.

next step is "any other 4".
final step is drabek+happ+brown for halladay+someone we can use.
scutaro would be wonderful.

I don't think Toronto cares about either Taylor or Brown. They're just asking for as much talent as possible and those are two of our three most talented prospects. When they realize that they'll have to settle for less talent they'll be willing to do without either. I say offer them Drabek, Happ and a warm body for Halladay and Scutaro. If nobody else ups their offer then they'll take that deal. If that doesn't get it done then I'll settle for winning the World Series without Halladay.

I'll gladly give up Happ and Drabek to keep both Brown and Taylor.

Someone gave me the finger this morning. Does that count?

Between his optimism about the Phils getting Halladay and proclivity to rip the Mets, Heyman has been a real joy to follow on Twitter.

PHILLIES executives have told rivals they are out on Roy Halladay unless Toronto changes its demands. Blue Jays officials insist they will be overwhelmed or they will retain their ace.

The staring contest continues

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 09:28:45

why would they tell their "rivals"?

by **Trent Steele** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 09:29:23

The latest on Halladay — 10:03 p.m.

The Phillies remain the team most likely to land Halladay, followed by the Red Sox.

Halladay will pitch for the Blue Jays as scheduled Wednesday night even if trade discussions are ongoing.

The Yankees are not aggressively pursuing Halladay, but the Jays do not rule out that the Yanks might make a last-minute push. The Jays like a number of prospects, including catcher Jesus Montero, center fielder Austin Jackson, catcher Austin Romine and left-hander Jeremy Bleich. They would want either Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain as the centerpiece of the deal.

There is no acrimony between the Jays and Phillies. "They should ask high," one Phillies source says. "He is the best."

The Brewers remain interested in Halladay but could not acquire him without including Class AAA shortstop Alcides Escobar, who might be on the verge of a major-league promotion.

But the Phils have no rivals. Must be bogus.

If we don't get him I will scrutinize Kyle Drabek so hard his dad's mustache will fall off

I still refuse to believe that they are not going to make this deal because they don't want to give up both Drabek and Happ. This has to get done, we are just going to be tortured in the process.

by **Woody** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 09:41:42

Get Halladay+SCOOTER, replace Happ with Duke, get Qualls, get Willingham

Win World Series. Draft new players. Repeat

Agreed. We're going to have to give up a top prospect to get Halladay which is fair. If that's Drabek -- who seems to be the one the Jays are focusing on -- so be it. But they should not get Drabek and Brown or Taylor.

by **Woody** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 09:48:41

It's Roy Halladay guys. You can't just offer Drabek and a bucket of shoes and expect this to get done. I understand we'd all like to keep the young players that won't play in the majors until they're approaching 30 anyway, but jeez
