It's been obvious the Ricciardi's asking price for Halladay is not realistic, as many teams are finding out. As Marlins president David Samson said, JP wants "two left legs, a right arm and a left cerebellum" for Doc. But maybe the Dodgers will cave in--they might be nervous over the Lee trade to the Phillies. Gonzalez is one of the best in the game, and, unlike Halladay, has youth on his side. I think it was documented somewhere that Petco takes away 40% of his homeruns. We have no power coming up in the system, we need someone who can mash on a consistent basis. AG is a .282/.363/.509/.872 hitter in SD which could put him close to Youk numbers at Fenway
