forget about Michael Taylor. He is gone. He was my favorite prospect too. There is no need though, to go on and on about a player that has’nt done anything at the major league level.
The Phillies wanted Halladay. They traded fair value for him, no matter what you or I think of Michael Taylor. Roy Halladay, the #1 or 2 pitcher in baseball, plus $6million for Michael Taylor and Kyle Drabek? That is fair value, nowheels.

There are 3 issues that cause people to look at the trade incorrectly:

1. They don’t value Halladay any more than Lee. Halladay is BETTER than Lee. Period. Halladay is always great and has been great for 7 years. Lee was great in ’08 and great for stretches in ’09. And even as great as Lee was last year, he still wasnt as good as Halladay.
2. Phillies fans over value our prospects. Everyone assumes Michael Taylor will be better than Ryan Howard because he has better numbers than Howard had in the minors. Well, check Marlon Byrds numbers against Taylors. They are very similar.
3. Phils fans dont respect other teams prospects. People are checking LAST years BA list assuming Seattles’ prospects all stayed in the same order. The prospects the Phillies received from Seattle are just as good as the ones they traded to Cleveland for Lee.

Last year everyone was saying “what a great trade”. This year many are saying we couldn’t get a second tier prospect for him and keep MT and keep Lee even if it for one year.
If Blanton repeats his second half all year he won’t be here either. So we lose if Blanton is good and lose if Blanton is bad wrecking the already thin rotation.

I’d be curious to hear everyone else’s take, but from what I’ve read, I think the Braves got more for Vazquez (a less pitcher making more money) than we got for Lee. How is this possible? I’d be shocked if baseball america ranked the prospects we got ahead of what the Braves got. Thoughts?
