blanton sucks. We have better pitchers already on the team and in the system.

I was following Boras earlier in the afternoon,and he commented that for what Toronto wants is too costly for a team.So this article reinforces what he stated earlier.

How/why is the passage of the article that you quoted highlighted in yellow on the NYP site?

Given how often Damon appears unable to track a flyball, maybe he should see an opthamologist too.

Scott Boras’ comment on the Halladay Angels trade.

“It’s a general rule that you may give up money,but you don’t give up players.Or you may attach players but you don’t give up money.There aren’t situations were teams give up both because it’s entirely to costly.I don’t see with a year to go a club could satisfy what Toronto should demand.I think that would be a very,very unlikely event.”

Source,Toronto Sun,”Angels make a play forr Halladay.”

So Boras feels this deal is unlikely,even he can’t see it happening!

Hope he doesn’t get his contacts from the same place Hughes did.

I had also read about the Yanks concern of depth perception based on some poor routes Granderson had taken.

“In an interesting revelation, the final holdup in the deal involved the Yankees requesting that Granderson visit an opthamologist. The Yankees wanted his eyes checked based on his exorbitant strikeout totals and his occasional bad jumps on balls in the outfield.”
