You know, after reading TH's latest post on Halladay and looking into what we need, i.e. Top end SP & a true Leadoff Hitter I was thinking the same as many of yall... the answer might not be trading Escobar at all. We could trade JJ, yes hes streaky, but he is almost always going to provide 20-25HR a season and good defense. Let alone he was a previous All-Star and young! Keeping Escobar in the #1 spot would give us a true leadoff hitter role we have been looking for. McGehee has come from nowhere and is showing he can hold his own at 2B defensivly ( average ), and all honestly should be in the everyday line up for the rest of the season. Councel could fill the 3B role if we give up Gamel in the deal as well. JJ, Gamel & PTBNL AAA for Halladay. I would go for it. 80% of the female brewer fans would be mad trading JJ, but I would rather trade JJ than Escobar.
