I would stay away from this trade. Look at the last 3 starts for Halladay as well as how he performed today. His last 3 starts he is 0-1 with 5 BB, 19 Hits, and a 4.50 ERA. Today he threw 120 pitches in 7 innings, 9 Hits and 3 ER for a loss. These are not typical Halladay numbers.

Since you are in a keeper league, hanson and beckham are good prospects to have. Also, I don't know if your league values K's, but Vazquez only has 5 fewer K's up to this point than Hally, has given up slightly less hits and has a slightly lower WHIP. I'm not suggesting that Vazquez = Halladay, but as of right now things aren't looking too good with Hally.

Hope this helps.

BUMP

seems like mixed opinions... any others?

[sigriffey]

I might do this -- I need the pitching help and it seems many actually prefer McClouth over Granderson.

Anyone want to talk me out of this it give it their blessing?
