Alright, let's hear it...who's gonna get Halladay? Anyone goona bite on Matt Holiday? What's your team need before the deadline?

My Mets need a complete pitching staff overhaul (minus Santanna), some hitters with pop, a few RBI guys, and the fences at Citifield brough in about 10 feet...LOL!!!

Halladay went 9 today to beat the Sox 3-1.
The guy is a very good pitcher, I listened to JP on a pre game interview yesterday, the guy wants the moon with a fence around it.
I don't think the Sox will pay that kind of price?
I am more concerned about our offense,it's spotty at best we need someone to come off the bench to hit a homer.

I keep hearing the Phils are the best match for Halladay, but the Jays sure sound like they're asking for a ton. I heard that Pat Gillick (no longer the GM, but still involved with the Phils organization) is in Toronto scouting him. Jays scouts are (supposedly) all over the Phils teams (MLB, AAA, AA, A) scouting.

Would I love to have him? YES! And the Phillies have several guys who are major league ready that have no place to play (Donald, Marson, Taylor) and have some pretty exciting minor league talent too (Brown), but what pitching would they have to give up to get him? Happ, Drabek, Corasco, Knapp? It's nice to be in the position to talk about it, and even nicer to have the talent other teams want making it possible, but how much is too much for Doc? Man, I don't know...
