Well theres no sense trying to present all the logic in the world to justify a sports trade when the other party is going to come back with that type of retort.

Grow a thicker skin than, that is nowhere close to an insult. For the second point you bring up...all the more reason for the Jays can't just keep fan favorites around. If they want to win they need to get the absolute maximum out of every asset they have.

This team is simply not in a rebuilding mode - regardless if you think its a good idea. If we are going into a fire-sale, there are a lot of other assets we could move - Scutaro, Overbay, Rios, Tallet, Frasor, Downs, and so on.

Well thats the rub , and why it's a debatable topic. If they do move Halladay than they have to look at moving most of those guys too. Although Rios is signed for some time so the urgency with him would be less. But time is running out here on what you can get back for Halladay in a trade. It's no easy descision, but thats what GM's get paid to do, make those hard descisions.
