Honestly I think the Phils would rather trade Happ than let Drabek go. Him and Taylor are "untouchable".
Drabek doesn't have great control and isn't overpowering. And yeah, already having had Tommy John surgery is a concern especially since he doesn't have a huge frame to fall back on. If his Dad wasn't a former pitcher I don't buy that he would be a highly touted prospect. Happ has no real value, if they have to throw him in to get Halladay then they should.
