Interesting article on Hamels:

It basically shows how unlucky he has been this year since his strikeouts are up and his walks are down. Very encouraging for Phils fans.

Hamels has like a 5 ERA right now, and is not as good a pitcher as Halladay..

you have one game to win.. you can take ANY pitcher in baseball..

that list is short..

Its got Roy Halladay at the top, along with Johan Santana, CC Sabathia, etc. .

Hamels isn’t on that list right now

one more thing you get Halladay and make the playoffs easily so you can set up your rotation, Halladay is the better pitcher right now, say he still is come playoffs.
Hamels get the start out of respect for what he has done in the post season, and for this organization, Hamels has proven to be a hollywood stud in the playoffs why would you not start him

Hey guys….great take on the Halladay situation by David Murphy. Good read.

I like the idea that it may benefit the Phils to wait and sign Halladay after the 2010 season. They will still have the core and the $$$.

my two cents, for what it is worth, I know all you love Drabek, but if it Drabek or Happ I keep Happ, Marson and Donald can defintly go, Chooch will be the starting catcher for at least 2 more years, and donald has no place to play on this team, give them Carrasco, and Drabek and those two if they want him, I would still like to think you can sign him to an extension if you get him and the go deep in the playoffs, the phillies still have some young arms that mayb be ready in 2-3 years. Also one of the two Taylor or Brown. I would be fine with that. But Happ has proven he can pitch in tough situation,and proven he has the metal capacity to pitch, I am fine not getting Halladay, if they won’t make a deal with out Happ

No we can’t but there’s no way the Angles give up Weaver with a depleted pitching staff. If the Angels REALLY want to make a deal for someone then no-one can stand in their way with the plethora of advanced prospects their meant to have.

WOW, Ben Maller is saying the Angels would probably give up Jered Weaver, B. Wood and multplie prospects for Halliday. Can we compete with that?

Happ, Brown, Savery, Donald and Bastardo should really do it. I am fine with that. Ruben get it done!! If not we will be fine in a few years with these guys playing everyday with our studs we already have.
