Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:21:03 +0000

Is Signing Lackey A Smarter Move Than Trading For Halladay?

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:55:19 +0000

Let me begin by saying that you’ll get no argument from me as to who is the superior starting pitcher between Roy Halladay and John Lackey. It’s Halladay by a significantly wide margin. If Doc was pitching for a high powered offense like the Yankees, he may have been a 25 game ...
