And according to all (3) of you, Halladay is going to the Phillies!
I agree with the fan base, Halladay to the Phillies makes the most sense. I guess I'm not 100% sold that him going to the Phillies is more likely than him not being traded, but I do seriously think he'll end up with the Phillies. Kyle Drabek is a good prospect, but it's likely that he'll be lucky to have a career as valuable as Halladay will have for 1.5 years on the Phillies. He's not David Price or Tommy Hanson, meaning he's not untouchable, the Phillies will cave soon.
With all of that said, the Yankees are just one injury away from getting him. The Yankees can say all they want how passing on Johan was the right move because now they have Sabathia and Hughes and Melky but if Joba/Burnett/Sabathia/Pettitte gets hurt the Yankees will need another starter. They're already relying on Sergio Mitre for a little, it would be hard to rely on Mitre plus another guy likely worse than Sergio Mitre. So I don't think that other starter will be a stretched out Aceves, it would be Halladay. However, beyond an injury in the next couple weeks I don't see the Yankees obtaining Halladay, or any team other than the Phillies.
