If we're going for a starter, it should be a guy like Johnson. Halladay is great, but for the amount of quality years he's going to give the any team that trades for him, he's going to cost too much in terms of prospects.
I'm pretty sure Johnson would cost less in terms of prospects and would give the Cubs at least 7 years of quality pitching if he stays healthy and the Cubs actually hang on to him that long.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Eh. This particular iteration of the Cubs' window is the next two years. Halladay is probably the better move right now. In a couple years, it would be a guy like Johnson.
