Vitters, Wells, Font, Shark?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Not nearly enough.

I believe Olney said if the Blue Jays are going to deal him they want a team's top two prospects, including a potential future ace. I think he also said they want 4-6 players, but I'm not sure about that. So you are correct, that might not even get Halladay, let alone both of them.

Yeah, that was just my starting point. I heard Buster say he thought it would take 5 guys including an ace-type prospect to get just Doc. Who else would you be willing to part with?

I don't think I'd be willing to part with even that. As much as I love Halladay, I don't see the reason to deplete the farm system when there are other potential holes, and possibly create new ones.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
