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.
