I think it's too much to expect the JV to be able to make such an incredible run just to get back into the race so the varsity can finish the job. Like you said though, stranger things have happened...MDePuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162184888260736933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653296418410096522.post-59251389619568727862009-08-05T15:55:03.232-07:002009-08-05T15:55:03.232-07:00Josh, first good blog, and I think you're righ...Josh, first good blog, and I think you're right on with most of your winners. The Red Sox had to do something to get themselves jumpstarted and I think adding Martinez does that. The Phillies may have wanted Halladay, but they do not lose in getting Cliff Lee. And St. Louis certainly gave Pujols plenty of protection by adding Holliday to their lineup. <br /><br />I have to disagree with some of your losers though. I'll start with the Yankees. If not getting a 5th starter makes a team a loser at the deadline, then I will gladly be a loser every year. If all this team has to worry about is its 5th starter and the 25th guy on the roster, now Jerry Hairston, then I think they're in good shape to make a run at the World Series. I think the same thing of the Dodgers, and if Jason Schmidt can be a competent 5th starter, then they'll be able to win West easily and should be ready for a rematch with the Phillies in the NLCS. In the playoffs the 5th starter doesn't get a start, so to worry about these guys on teams who will no doubt be in the playoffs should not cause much unrest.<br /><br />Oakland did not do badly in its deals either. They're 18 games out and really have no chance of making the playoffs anyway, so it was either trade Holliday now for the 3 prospects they got or get 2 supplemental draft picks this winter after he signs elsewhere. Billy Beane is one of the shrewdest GMs in the game for a reason, and he no doubt thought that the 3 players he acquired were worth more than the 2 picks he would have received in return. <br /><br />I feel the same way about Cleveland. Even though they traded away 2 of their best players, they still got back a lot of highly touted young talent. The three players that they got from Boston include Justin Masterson, a former 2nd round pick and 9-8 on the major league level, and 2 first round picks. They also got 3 of Philadelphia's top 5 prospects. <br /><br />If you ask me, Halladay is spending his final 2 months in a Blue Jays uniform and will be traded in the off season.MDePuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162184888260736933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653296418410096522.post-61155203546184981662009-08-04T14:37:13.476-07:002009-08-04T14:37:13.476-07:00Josh my man!

I love your style of writing Josh. It is very easy to read, informative, and to the point. You put all the necessary stats and information into each article. I liked this a lot. I think it will be hard for the fans to stomach this. Then again, who doesn't cheat nowadays? But it is definitely a big blow to their organization indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
