For Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Pablo Sandoval.

Trade him to the Yankees or Red Sox so I can keep watching him play.

The Jays are not competing for the playoffs for at least 3 years if they deal Halladay. Might as well trade him to whomever offers the best players that gives us the best chance of competing then.

heres a deal id like to see AA explore in trading our “Good Doc”….. trade him to….

 Texas Rangers – tex is desperate for SP, is a contender with young talented hitters ….needs veteran #1 starter to wi the division aka "Roy Halladay)!,,,tex has lots of prospects and would be a willing trade partner therefore i see max value if halladay can be traded to texas….

assuming texas will do the trade if halladay agrees to a 4 yeear contract extension….. lets say Halladay to TEXAS for…….. 2 of baseball 2009 top 100 prospects that texas has……, #‘s 6 on that list, Neftali Feliz Rp, 21 years old, 2009 texas stats 31ip, 39k’s, 1.74 era, .124 opp bat avg, power releiver better tha joba chamberlain……and #40 on that list, 22 yrs old, Derek Holland LHP, SP, 2009 texas stats 33g, 21 starts, 8-13 record, 6.12 era, 138ip, 107 k’s – has potential and is a lefty which is golden.

any comments on this deal fellas?!…… cheers!!
 
- BIGDADDY.

now…god forbidden we deal Doc to the Yankees,…….but if we did…… we would need the following in Return Minimum:!!!!!!

(this trade sets us up for the future where in 3 years…… i say we take a sustained run at the top of division…. and stay there for years to come: Toronto Deserves Winning Baseball and the fans will show up again . 3-4 million in attendance expected again when the right team is in place. until then give new GM, AA some patience to be right where JP was wrong. Halladay to yankees in return for:

Joba Chamberlain, 24 yrs old, 15-9 career record, 3.61 era, 281 ip, 285k’s
Phil Hughes, 23yrs old, 13-10 career record, 4.20 era, 192 ip, 177k’s
aa cather Jesus Montero, 20 years old, 2009 aa stats -.92 games played, .337 ba, 17hr, 70 rbi, yankees best young power hitter, second best prospect in yankess minor league system.

i see a jays team that competes for it all within 3 years, with the following core:

1b – david cooper (power hitter 22yrs old) , 2b – A.hill 27yrs old, ss – to be determined, 3b – to be determined, c -jesus montero 20yrs old / jp arencibia 21 yrs old, cf – v.wells 31 yrs old, rf, travis snider 21 yrs old, – lf adam lind 26 yrs old, dh randy ruiz. 32 yrs old

sp’s – ricky romero 25 yrd old, dustin mgowan 27yrs old or shaun marcum 28yrs old, joba chamberlain 24 yrs old, phil hughes 23 yrs old, brett cecil 23 yrs old

bp – jesse carlson 29yrs old, jason frasor 32yrs old, jesse litch 24yrs old, mark rzepczynski 24 yrs old, brandon league 26yrs old,

will need to spend fa cash on ss and 3b or trade off : some of SP depth

mainly because hed go 20-0 with a 1.50ERA there, and because i dont really want to watch him pitch against us.

Dogers and Phillies seem like legit options… but then again, I wouldnt say no to the Angels.

No chance hes going to Texas or anywhere inside the AL East unless we got the package of Hughes, Joba and Montero for him… and even then its a stretch. Fan backlash would be ridiculous… and i personally dont like to think that Doc is a big enough douchebag to ever play for the Yankees.
