Ricciardi wants more for Halladay than the Twins asked for Johan, and what the Brewers asked for CC.
They want dudes from the Major League roster,.
I like Halladay, great pitcher, but at the end of the day he is 32. He is older than Johan and CC, when they got dealt.
I wouldn't mind Halladay at all, but the price is steep.

Who told you that?
For the Dodgers yes, because your farm system is garbage.

Here's the offer: Drabek, Happ and Brown for Halladay
Well, here it is, the Blue Jays asking price for Roy Halladay: Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi has spoken to the Phillies within the past 24 hours and negotiations are underway in earnest, baseball sources tell the Inquirer. They want Kyle Drabek, J.A. Happ and Dominic Brown.
That's what they've asked for. It remains to be seen how the Phils will respond to that.
When Charlie Manuel said yesterday "I prefer the horse," the horse had a name: Halladay. As the Phillies and Blue Jays negotiate, figuring out who to include or not in a potential trade, there is a buzz around the clubhouse. Phillies players have pulled me aside, asking, "Hey, off the record, are we going to get Doc? What will we have to give up?
Manuel was asked today if he'd revised the thoughts he expressed about two weeks ago re: giving up Drabek. Here's what he said a few hours ago: "I like Drabek and the basic reason I say that is, when I look at him, the style of pitcher that he is, I look at his upside. I look at his tools. I look at the kind of pitcher he is - I call him a drop and drive pitcher - and I think he's on the order of Nolan Ryan or Tom Seaver or Colon, guys like that with a real strong core, strong legs, get a big push off the rubber to produce power. It's a style that usually makes for a long career. That's what I see."
Two weeks ago, he said clearly: "For me, it would be tough to trade Drabek." Today, compliments about the kid, no concrete plea to keep him around.
So which is it, Charlie--do you want the horse or the pony? You probably can't have both. And if you can, you sure can't have J.A. Happ anymore.

Meanwhile, a scout offered this about Brett Wallace: "He can hit but he throws like a girl. They acquired a DH - I think he might be Jack Cust Jr. with fewer Ks.
