it's a pretty even swap, but I trust Halladay more so I'd want him.

Pretty fair deal, especially given Haren's notoriety for tailing off in the 2nd half and the possibility of Halladay relocating to the weak NL East.

I'd take the trade. Halladay can go a complete game, yes, but can't get much run support to get him the win. Haren is dominant, even though the offense may not be, and younger than Halladay. Long-run points to Haren.

Help?

i think it's dead on even. haren is the best pitcher in the NL, and halladay is the best pitcher in the AL. everyone says haren drops off in the 2nd half. i don't see that happening... he's lights-out. if halladay is traded, it could mean he dominates hitters who aren't familiar with him or that he struggles a little. i honestly think it's a toss-up.
