My "argument" is not at all hinged on the assumption that the Brewers could get Halladay for Escobar, Parra, and some lower-level prospects. If they got Halladay for Escobar, Parra, and Lawrie, they'd be NL Central favorites. If they got him for Escobar, Parra, Lawrie, Gamel, Lucroy, Salome, and Green, they'd still be NL Central favorites.
