James Loney freakin' sucks.

Loney + a prospect for Halladay.

Because they suck and they'd prefer to give you a glimpse of truth in April, rather than win a bunch of games and fall into complete ruin in June.

Eh, the bullpen isn't TERRIBLE, but I would rather see the starter go longer.

Shawn Kelley/Mark Lowe/Brandon Morrow are all good relievers and Aardsma/Jakabauskas/Corcoran aren't great, but not terrible either. If anything, we'll have a must stronger bullpen around mid season when Cordero/Fields/Aumont/Zimmerman join the pen. None of those last 4 are close to being 'locks' for mid-season jobs, espeically Zimmerman, but you never know.

lol, like I said, the only way they trade Halladay is for a huge lot of prospects similar to Atlanta/Teix trade.

[200tang]

Glad the Mariners won today, but I also admire Leyland for actually leaving Verlander out to pitch the entire game despite having one bad inning.

Loney would do the trick, along with some attractive add-ons. Shhhh, don't tell any MLB GMs, but Loney needs to be traded before everyone realizes he isn't very good. As it currently stands, he's the guy teams are always asking for, non-Kemp division.

I really doubt any team is going to give up more than the Dodgers could for Halladay (I see something along the lines of Loney/McDonald/prospect, maybe getting Overbay along with Halladay, in exchange for a good prospect), but this is a discussion/event that's a few months off. This won't happen until June or July.

If Broxton picks up this save, he is a badass, and my new favorite player.

I've heard Ricardi is one of the hardest GM's to deal with and him, and Toronto, are in love with Halladay. I think he's going to either be shopped for a very lucrative prospect package this deadline or he's going to re-sign with them regardless of how good the team is. Sort of like a Chipper Jones type thing. It would be wise to trade him, but the team probably won't.

Whether or not they won't is a whole other thing, and I agree. If I were them, I wouldn't trade him for the world. That's actually a decent organization all around, and it would serve them well to hold onto him.

But Loney and McDonald are a very, very, very fair price, if they were so inclined to trade Halladay. AND, they won't have many takers other than the Dodgers (assuming the Dodgers are willing to trade a premium for an SP), let alone a taker that would offer more.

I'm betting this won't happen... I don't think Halladay will be traded, and I don't think the Dodgers will be willing to part with Loney in the near future. So it's a moot point.

A 4 K, 5 out save. Broxton f*ckin' rules. I love this guy.

Go Dodgers! 6 in a row!

[Jeffy25]

nats can't buy a win

[KowboyKoop]

Indians score 14 in the 2nd at Yankee stadium.

As a Royals fan..I wish the Indians were losing, but god I love seeing the Yanks get beat.

[metsguy234]

I'm enjoying this Yankee game quite a lot.

[HoustonGM]

That was really fun to watch.

[RedsoxRockies]

I want MLB Extra Innings this instant. Man, I would love to watch that Yankees game. Is there any shady illegal Pirating sites where I could watch it?
