Prospectus Hit & Run: Call The Doctor

Earlier this week, with the Blue Jays fading into fourth place in the AL East, general manager J.P. Ricciardi opened up the possibility that his club might be willing to trade Roy Halladay. At 10-2 with a 2.79 ERA, he's a legitimate Cy Young candidate and a contender for the title of the best pitcher in baseball. Our Support-Neutral pitching stats tell us he's been worth 3.9 wins above replacement level over a half-season of work, and it's no stretch to think he'd be worth three additional wins to nearly any team that bumps aside their fifth starter, a massive upgrade.
