John Heyman says brewers a serious Halladay suitor

cgilmo · Jul 22, 2009

11:08am: Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Brewers appear to be a threat to acquire Halladay. He's hearing Manny Parra's name and suspects Mat Gamel or Alcides Escobar would have to be involved, too.

Worked well for them last year with Sabathia.

Halladay would eat up the N.L. Central.

:lol: and where is he now?!??!?!?!
The Brewers need to stop doing this unless they are serious about keeping anyone
even there prospects as well.

For the sake of the Braves, I would rather him go to the Phillies than the Brewers honestly.

Why?

The Phillies have an 8 game lead on the Braves in the loss column. That'll be hard to make up, regardless of how well the Braves have played against the Phillies. My hope is the Phils continue to play well against everyone except the Braves. The Phils right now are helping the Braves in the wild card against teams like the Cubs and could continue to do so.

The Brewers on the other hand are tied with us in the wild card race. It's a pick your poison type situation and it doesn't really favor much toward next year, but it'll be much easier to for the Braves to win the wild card.

You have to wonder if he would approve a trade there. He probably would, but there is a chance he doesn't like there chances.

EricInCT · Jul 22, 2009

He is going to philly if anywhere.

Johan Santana 57 · Jul 22, 2009

This is also coming from the guy who said the Mets rejected a deal for Halladay

The Brewers already claimed those 2 as untouchables.

They did make the playoffs though, which I think was the goal all along.

I highly doubt he'd accept going to the Brewers...I just dont see him wanting to go there.

phillyfan0417 · Jul 22, 2009

My hope for Halladay is he goes somewhere other than the phillies. Unless its for a price lower than has been discussed so far.

I'm not so sure. Halladay's an intensely private guy and is attracted to a quiet environment. While I have no doubt he'd handle the pressures of Philly or NY just fine, he has always said he prefers living a low-key life. Couple that with Milwaukee having a decent chance to win and I think he'd be fine with it.

That is true but I think they are good team without throwing around palyers for
just one season though.

I agree but I also believe, they would not have made the playoffs last year without CC

The Cards or the Brewers better not get him. :?

Yeah but what good is losing two youngsters who may be great players for a guy for half a season all to start again next season without the two prospects and without the player acquired mid season?Seems like a lose lose deal to me.Maybe if the brewers actually held on to one of these types of pitchers...they may actually get somewhere.Imagine if C.C. had been there for the whole season or even if had been there for this whole season.That is that many more games they can win and all of a sudden they are a big time contender.Then more players want to go to Milwaukee and things like trading a few prospects for a guy don't hurt so bad because you are keeping key pieces from your acquisitions instead of disposing of them after half a season.
