come on now. Signing Halladay right now for Drabeck and Taylor was a TERRIFIC move for the Phillies. An absolute steal for the extension also (if 20mill per year can possibly be a steal)
The trade in question is the Lee trade. Obviously the fans wanted it NOT to happen. I dont think Amaro really wanted it to happen but nobody wanted Blanton and we made the mistake with Moyer.
We are still a better team now than we were last year. Halladay is > Lee (though not by too much).
Only in Philly can people complain when they just landed the best pitcher in baseball!
I'm not too upset, excited to have Halladay.. bummed about Lee moving but if he wants to "retire as a Phillie" like he said yesterday he can come take less $ from us next year!
