I know we already made a killing in this trade, but now i’m thinking it may be even better. Don’t the Phillies receive compensation now if Oswalt retires after next year or he decides to not agree to his option? If we receive a 1st round pick or two in addition to Oswalt + the 11 Mil that makes this trade that much better.

Happ + Villar + Gose for Oswalt + 11 Mil + 1 or 2 Draft Picks … am i correct?

Guys take one bad year and blow it out of proportion. He’s been a solid pitcher for 6 years before this!

Turn your statement around.

2011 he could have had 2 18 year 1st year pro players + J A Happ plus 2 20 year old prospects. Instead he has Roy Oswalt, Blanton and 3 22 year old prospects.

Not so bad now.

The Cliff Lee ship has sailed can we stop trying to redeem tickets?

It would rather appear that Amaro has a longer term strategy than many who post here. Which rotation is better in 2011 and 2012 Halladay, Hamels, Oswalt, Blanton, Kendrick/Worley or Halladay, Hamels, Happ, Kendrick, Worley???

Yea, exactly!!!
