there are quality starters the phillies could use. i wouldn't give up drabek, happ,and brown. that's too steep.
this team almost traded ryan howard for chris benson a few years ago. pittsburgh actually turned it down.
i would look at washburn and lee also.
holliday going to the cards makes them much better.

Don't you get this is the best phillies team in 25 years and approaching the all time greatest status?None of their top 8 players will still be at their peak in the 3-4 years it takes for Drabek to be a actual factor.Even thats a crap shoot.Remember how good duckworth or whoever was supposed to be a few years back?They don't have a real good chance of winning a world series after the core of the team is gone in 4 or 5 years so what are we saving up for?They have a chance to lock down a back to back world series by getting halliday.Do you get how you can't think 5 years from now when you have chances like this?

Happ hasnt beaten a winning team this year.
