A five inning pitcher is no good…a six inning guy isnt so bad for a 5th guy, but a 7th inning guy is just what the doctor ordered…so if he can go 5-7 innings as John suggests, then it depends on which guy your getting, the 5-6-or-7 inning guy. I’ll pass though…give me Halladay…trade what ya must.

I’m with you John, Pedro would just be a left handed version of Moyer at best. Then again, even if he were to get paid what he’s seeking…he’d still cost less and be here for just a year. :-)

No to Pedro! The Phils don’t need another guy who can only go 5-7 innings at best. That would be putting even MORE pressure on an already taxed bullpen.

Pedro was throwing about the same speed 4 years ago but was still extremely effective and made it to the all-star game. The question if his control is still there, it wasn’t last year. He doesn’t have to be overpowering to get guys out.

Yeah just what we need, another geriatric soft tossing guy to go 4 or 5 innings a start.

Michael Taylor, Carlos Carrasco, Lou Marson for Halladay. Looks like a steep price to me, but worthwhile. Chalk it up…CHAMPIONSHIP.

Just say NO to Pedro! I would have liked to have seen one of the young guys get a shot but I’d rather see Rodrigo Lopez remain with the team than bring this washed up scrub in. A decade ago, sure. Today, with 13 mph hour off his fastball, no thanks.

P.S. Halladay’s a pipe dream, never gonna happen.
P.P.S. GREAT VIDEO!
