Scott (Ontario) It seems like Kelly is a potential hold up in Halladay going to the Red Sox. Why would either side balk at a 20 year old in A ball with only 2 pitches. He plays so much SS we don't even know if he can endure 100 innings let alone 200. With Halladay you are getting an annual 220 inning guy Jim Callis Kelly is a three-pitch guy with tremendous feel for his age, so don't undersell him. But you are correct in saying that he's as unproven as Halladay is proven. I think the issue for any club is do you give up a lot of talented young players whom you can cost control for several years AND have to pay Halladay a ton of money in an extension to hold onto him. I don't think the Jays will get as much back for him as you might suspect. They should do better than the Twins did for Santana, but not a ton better.
Kevin (NYC) Hi Jim- Love the chats. You stated that the Jays shouldn't do much better on a Roy trade than the Twins did with Johan. Unless I'm mistaken, the Twins received a plus defender in Gomez who had "upside" and a bunch of, at best, lower end rotation guys. I know Gomez is still young, but he still can't hit. Why would you expect the Jays to do only marginally better moving Roy? I know the $ for an extension limits the trade partners, but Roy is, well, Roy. Thx! Jim Callis Santana was, well, Santana. Halladay is a year from free agency, just like Santana, and he's not going to re-sign with his current club, just like Santana. As good as Halladay is, the Jays don't have a lot of leverage. There aren't many clubs who can afford Halladay and will be willing to give up a huge haul of prospects for him.

Carlos Gomez was traded to Brewers for Hardy. The Twins got fleeced on the Santana tade.

Now that I'm thinking about it you are right. The problem with Santana was that he was asking for a huge contract so the Twins had little choice but to trade him to Mets thinking that they will give him a big contract because they were desperate.

"In order for the Red Sox to trade for Halladay, they would almost certainly have to surrender Clay Buchholz and minor leaguer Casey Kelly. Buchholz has five seasons until he becomes a free agent, looks to be a very productive pitcher, and he might make $25 million over the next five seasons. Halladay will make $15 million next summer alone, and then be in line for an $60 million-$80 million type of deal as a free agent. And Kelly, like Austin Jackson, appears to have an excellent chance to have a high impact in the majors. In terms of cost-efficiency, it makes no sense for the Red Sox or the Yankees to pay a high double-barrelled cost in prospects and free-agent dollars to land Halladay.
