Sure, give him the "real" answer with your "knowledge."

this is amazing. Crashburn arguing that Donald is good enough that we should trade Rollins for Halladay

Well, geez, I wasn't exactly thinking that Rollins was a complete piece of **** like Crashburn just described, but a tradeable guy for certain. He does some nice things offensively and his defense is strong. However, if you want to find a way to keep Donald, you trade Rollins. That being said, a deal for Halladay is not being consummated and never will be, so that's the end of that.


Well I'm an idiot

I'm willing to overpay for a great starting pitcher if he gives my team a great chance to go to and win the World Series. Halladay is one such pitcher.


You have to admit he was right about this. We had no chance until we got Doc and Cliff.

No apparent reason? Is there anybody on this board who WOULDN'T take the opportunity to hit Greg Jeffries with a fastball if the opportunity presented itself?


I was at the game where he hit for the cycle, so I have a small soft spot for him.
Yes son. I'm the best mono-thingy guy there ever was.

With prospects, you're not guaranteed anything. Rollins is an established player and you know what you're going to get out of him every season.


Amazingly this line was written to support of the idea of trading Rollins and replacing him with Donald.

Halladay said he was "lethargic, very lethargic." Said extra day of rest factored in, he threw a second side session between starts.

They have good peripherals and xFIPs.
Teams lie, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad. They do it to get an advantage while they look at the trade market or just because they can

I know he's doc and they are supposed to ride him hard, but I will be annoyed if they leave him out there late in the game like they have over the past few years. Let's try to save what's left of his arm.

Considering he's a lot less likely than before to get to late in the game, I doubt you have to worry.

If Rube has any sort of baseball sense he'd sign Boesch immediately and dump Nix
