is that cuban guy any good?

F Mart Niese, Tejada & Parnell for Halladay ? Damn we would’ve been fleeced ;-p

At the time Parnell was uninjured, Niese was on the upswing, Martinez was the uber-prospect and Tejada was, well, Tejada. It actually seems like a reasonable offer. They probably didn't want to pay Halladay's salary.

The trades you don't make - ouch.

Logan Morrison - cheaper than Bruce - a more likely choice.

Sign the Cuban - ask questions later. Bring Cespedes a box of stogies.

The pass on Halladay at the time made sense.

Eddie -

very few 21 year olds are 'that good'.

especially if their stats are only in Cuban 'A ball' league
