Trading away 2 of the players in that deal the next season for a high priced vet tells you he was disappointed in them. If he liked them, he would have kept them. When he got Dan Haren in the Mulder deal, he made sure to get 3 good years out of him before dealing him away. That's how he operates.

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 10:43:13 +0000 http://www.theyankeeuniverse.com/?p=5619#comment-14012 One question. Did I miss anyone? Any really good pitcher who's been traded in the past 5 years that I didn't include? I didn't include Rich Harden since I consider him a notch below these guys due to his injury history. I also didn't want to look like I'm piling on Billy Beane, because that trade was another bad one for him. One question. Did I miss anyone?

There is no reason to give up two of the Yankees top 3 in a Halladay deal. One point- not one of those deals has two top 10 type guys in it.

It is many years of Haren for one season of Holliday, plus one guy with legit starter potential in Anderson, and a handful of questions. I like Arizona's half- Haren's been one of the top 5 pitchers in the sport since being dealt. Great article, Steve. Disagree.
