Phillies need pitching, I would not be surprised if they move on Halladay?

The Jays are asking for a lot to get Doc. Possible 2-3 mlb players right now with AAA players on top of that. You will have to give up a lot to get him. But good pitching beats good hitting anyday. Any team would love to have him. One of the best pitchers in baseball today.

The Jays scouts have been doging the Sox Buchholz, Buchholz has a start Friday night in Toronto.
I don't thing Boston will make a serious effort for him the price is to high?
One thing the Sox will do is drive up the price in case the Yanks want him
JP will not let any club negotiate an extension until after a trade, that can be a deal killer for any team?

Lets put it this way......Kenny Williams(GM for the Sox) has said that they(himself and the Jays) have talked together about getting Doc. To get him we would need to give up 3 mlb players right now. John Danks, Gavin Floyd and A. Ram. And possibly toss in our #1 rated prospect Gordon Beckham. Would it be worth it for one pitcher? Maybe. But down the road I believe Gordon Beckham will be an allstar. John Danks and Floyd are part of our starting rotation. So from the point of a Sox fan, I think it is safe to say that we will not end up with him, but whoever does, will being giving up a LOT to get Doc.
