It’s going to be impossible to get value for him since A. He’s expensive and B. He only has 1 year left.</blockquote>Totally agree but we had the worst GM in the history of the world running the show at that point. He was more interested in scoring points with the media to line up a new job than actually doing right by the team.I have lowered expectations but they can't just give him away.

Let's try again.<blockquote>I haven’t heard anything, and I don’t think there’s much chance of that happening. The Braves wouldn’t be able to resign him, and they’d have to give up too much for a one year rental, especially since this could be Chipper’s last year.</blockquote>That's what I figured. It's unfortunate for the Jays because Atlanta has a decent crop of young players & prospects. It seems like all the teams who are interested lack in that department. I have a bad feeling the Jays are going to fuck this up in a major way. Comment FAIL. Let’s try again.

Lefty – Any talk in Atlanta about landing Halladay?

I haven’t heard anything, and I don’t think there’s much chance of that happening. The Braves wouldn’t be able to resign him, and they’d have to give up too much for a one year rental, especially since this could be Chipper’s last year.

Give us da Prince.I don't mind letting Vasquez go for the right trade, but he'd be missed. But the Hanson and Jurrjens 1-2 combo could work for a decade... (sigh) reminds me of the old days.
