People still question the Yankees and wonder if they could make a big run for the World Series title. Of course they could, but the addition of Roy Halladay would be a difference-maker. It would turn this team from a ordinary playoff team to a world series bound team.
You can start printing your World Series tickets immediately if they get Halladay. Imagine that 1-2-3 punch in the playoffs. (Halladay, Sabathia, Burnett)
Roy hasn’t won a World Series yet in his career. Not only that but he has never been on a team that was in the playoffs. He wants to win, and joining the Yankees would make them the clear cut favorite to win it all.
This is what the Doc had to say…
“There’s a point in your career where you know need to take a chance and try it, and win,” Halladay, who has a full no-trade clause, said in general of playing in a market larger than Toronto. “I’ve always hoped that’s going to be Toronto. I’ve believed in what we’ve done. It could still be.
“But I think at this point, I’m ready to take a chance on trying to win. Again, I honestly hope that it’s in Toronto. But you never know.”
He’s the type of guy that could handle New York. He does his job, never has off the field issues, and he doesn’t run his mouth.
Toronto is not against trading him within the division for the right players. The Yankees would have to offer a big package that might include such guys like Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Jesus Montero, Austin Jackson, Dellin Betances, etc. I agree with Peter Abraham on how to set up this trade. I would not include Hughes in the deal and keep him off-limits. You package Chamberlain, Montero or Jackson, and some other prospect to get this deal done. It’s really hard for me to say to give up these guys as I think they have bright futures, but it makes sense. Right now Roy is the best in baseball, and you never know how those young players will turn out down the road.
If you give up Joba, than you move Hughes back to the rotation. That way the rotation would look something like:
Halladay-Sabathia-Burnett-Pettitte-Hughes
Roy Halladay has ben selected to six all-star teams in his career, and he won the ‘03 AL CY Young Award. Doc has made 17 starts this season. He has gone 7 innings or more in 15-of-17 starts! That’s incredible. Pitch counts and all, he always seems to go deep into games. He’s even thrown three complete games this season. You can pretty much give the ball to Halladay for 7-8 innings each outing and have him hand the ball to Mariano Rivera. Game Over.
