Great Minds Think Alike…

Jared from Right Field Bleachers takes a slightly different approach to the Halladay issue than I did, but he came up with similar results. In explaining the situation to a friend of mine tonight, I came to the same conclusion Jared did, one that I wasn’t quite ready to admit last night:

“The more I think about a move like this, the more I support it.”

Jared also mentions that 2009 and 2010 are about it for this core group of players, something he spent a few sentences on, and I spent a whole long-winded article on. In the end, though, we come to the same conclusion. I just hope the team doesn’t overpay if they end up making a deal. On the other hand, I’d easily trade another 10-15 years of being downtrodden for one World Series Championship. Ultimately, in my mind, any deal that is made will be judged on that and that alone.

    Hey,

    I’m hardly a great mind… but thanks for the link anyway.

    I actually just admitted to myself today that I’d be OK with a trade like the one I suggested in that post. I started writing that post as more of a barometer of what it would take and when I finally got all the angles down on the screen, it just seemed like it made sense, even more than the CC deal made last year.

    Anyway, glad to see there are others who feel similarly. Hopefully Doug is in our camp.

    Honestly, I’m in the “In Doug We Trust” camp. If he decides that he’s got a legit shot for 2012, I can support that, too.

    If it’s up to me, though, as the slightly more impatient fan, I’d like to see a deal made if it makes any sense whatsoever.
