Pre-cursor to a Halladay trade?


The Angels are interested in trading for Tigers' pitcher Edwin Jackson, according to Foxsports.com. But could this deal help the Angels net Roy Halladay?

Here's my thinking... We trade for Jackson, making our rotation:

  1. Weaver
  2. Kazmir
  3. Jackson
  4. Saunders
  5. Santana

Jackson is a good starter, even though he faded big time in the 2nd half of last season (5.00+ ERA after the break). Based on the quick look I gave to his stats, he left some balls up the in the zone in the 2nd half, and he paid for it, giving up more homers and runs over less games than the 1st half. Still, there's a definite upside to this kid, and he's only 26.

Obviously, it's been established that the Blue Jays will want a young starter in return. It's been reported that Saunders and Santana are probably the main targets, but you can add Jackson to that list if we add him. My guess is, we would trade Ervin Santana in a package (probably with Trumbo, Walden and another) for Halladay, making our rotation:

  1. Halladay
  2. Weaver
  3. Kazmir
  4. Jackson
  5. Saunders
....nice. Thoughts?
