Halladay the real thing??? Should I pick him up?

[Guest]

Is Roy Halladay the real thing?

If you think so, should I pick him up? I think my pitching rotation is pretty good with some recent transaction. Here's the breakdown:

Pitching (Currently 6th in ERA, 2th in K's. 5th in Saves, 2th in Wins)

Glavine, Tom ATL P
Wells, David NYY P
Johnson, Randy ARI P
Prior, Mark CHC P
Perez, Odalis LA P
Padilla, Vicente PHI P
Julio, Jorge BAL P
Irabu, Hideki TEX P
Wickman, Bob CLE P

My ERA is 3.571 but since I recently dropped Eric Milton and Kelvin Escobar it should be better in the next month.

K's, I think I'm good with Big Unti and Prior, but Halladay does have a lot of K's.

Saves, risky guys since Wickman may go down and Irabu and Julio are not established. I'm 15 saves behind the leader, but they have Rivera and Graves, so there's no chance.

Wins, close to the top.

What should I do?

Yes, he looks like the real deal (see the other Halladay thread). Given the health concerns surrounding Wells, picking up halladay looks like a sound move.

Picked up Halladay, dropped Wells.

What do you think about Padilla/Spivey for Kent?

[Arlo]

Doesn't sound like a bad trade idea, assuming you can pick up somebody decent to fill your free roster spot. Good luck!

If I trade Padilla/Spivey for Kent and pick up Joel Pinero would that be good? Others availabe, but maybe not for long:

David Wells
Lopez, Rodrigo
Nomo, Hideo
Hernandez, Carlos E.
Ben Sheets
