[Snakes Gould]

wow this trade just kept getting better and better for the phillies. didnt agree to his option, got money back, and didnt give up any of our top prospects. im very happy now.

Is it just me or does Happ not really strike anyone as a headliner worthy player in a deal for a guy like Oswalt?

hes definitely not headlining material. hes a middle of the rotation type of pitcher and hes coming off of a fairly significant injury. i assumed singleton and cosart would also be a part of this deal but im ecstatic that they arent.

If he's healthy I think he's fine to headline the deal. He was awesome last year...check out the stats if you don't believe me.

Because they traded him in the deal in which they got Halladay...

Not quite. It was two separate deals.

Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels is a devastating top 3 if they can get into the playoffs.

There is a famous Mets topic around here in the cafe somewhere. I wonder if WR can dig it up for us.
