Id actually be willing to donate a small sum of money toward the bandwidth fund if we could get a bugbear sub-forum

joe sheehan?

holy fuck no

says they should offer drabek, brown and knapp for vmart to platoon at first

Here's what the Phillies should do................let Amaro keep hammering away at the Jays, and then go good cop/bad cop on them and send in Beeston's BFF Gillick to close the deal.

Great now these dicks want Pedro

please hit for the cycle J-Don!

I hope that a deal is still imminent. I think it would really add a key piece for continuing to be a favorites for WFCs.... Nice to have youngsters with promise -- but prefer parades

holy $#@! no

Not enough third-order wins to trade for Halladay, who will be a platoon pitcher when he's traded here.

Now?

I question every word that has ever come out of JP's mouth.

Okay so lets piece this together.

They've scouted:

Drabek, Brown, Carassco, and now Donald tonight.


They wanted Happ, Drabek, Brown.

We offered Taylor, Brown, Carassco, Donald.




So bascially it looks like they rejected our offer, but NOW are going to scout the guys we offered, seemingly looking like they are accepting the fact that these are the only guys they can get.


Drabek, Brown, Carassco, Donald, ________ For Halladay?

i can't see any deal that has less than 2 pitchers for Toronto

It might be important to note that a couple of people, i.e. reporters including Stark (I think), have said that the Phillies counter was actually stronger than what was being reported.

I tried to stay away but it didn't take. I think we all need an intervention.

Hope Donald gets his swing back as he was 0 for his last 11 in CLW.

I think the one I put out there is a pretty strong offer. That's 4 potential starters in a year or two.

Happ, Drabek, Donald.

do it. move on.

If that was the deal, Halladay would be pitching in AZ tomorrow

Do what? Get laughed at by JP?

Jays beat reporter on XM today specifically mentioned the team's holes at catcher and shortstop. Also said he believed Halladay would ultimately be a Phillies.

Marson, Carrasco, Carpenter. Do it. Move on.
