The the Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay trade:

Phillies get:
from SEA:Aumont and Gillies
from TOR: Roy Halladay and $6 Million

Blue Jays get:
from PHI:Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor, and Travis D’Arnaud
from SEA:nada

Mariners get:
from PHI: Cliff Lee
and a PTBNL(?)

Not sure how the Phillies look to be getting the better end of this trade. Seriously. The Mariners get one year of Cliff Lee at around $9 million. If the Mariners PTBNL, if there is even one, should be at least a mid tier prospect. I wont speculate Dominic Brown because the Phillies could have gotten Halladay from the Blue Jays for Drabek and Brown. Oh well. I will let the other writers (ahem* Grey* and all the other sites) ponder the deal. Just informing any notified follow-up readers of the trade and a references for two of the prospects within the deal.

@Geodenizen: He had a really really poor season. I thought about it until I saw his putrid slash line. Sorry.

Any comments on Carlos Triunfel? Wondering why he is not a POI.

Here is more information on Ackley moving to Second Base from USS Mariner by Dave Cameron (a great author at Fan Graphs too).

@Grey: Yeah, that would make the most sense, especially since Bavasi isn't there anymore. This is no reason to rush him.

@Stephen: It would be terrific for fantasy so I hope it happens. Still probably nothing but a September call-up for 2010 though, don't you think?

@Grey: Remember all those young outfielders? I am going to assume they haven't given up on Halman yet and this could actually make his progress through the minors go a bit faster if his defense is average.

@Stephen: Could be great for fantasy, not sure I understand it from the M's perspective.

Thanks Stephen will wait for the StU in the Spring; however, he is doing well in Arizona in 37 abs he is hitting .297 with 9 ribbies, 7 runs, 10 k’s but 7 walks and a .409 OBP. Keep up the great work! Jack
