Gaurantees are nothing

Roy Halladay might be a great pitcher now, but who is to say he will be in Philadelphia? Who is to say he won't be injured and retire? There are just as many unknowns with signing Halladay as there are with Drabek, and I'll take my chances with a young pitcher over an aging wonder any day. Lee is vastly superior to anyone in the Phils rotation aside from possibly Hamels, and you're trying to say that this trade was a failure? You obviously don't understand that the Phillies organization has a much deeper farm in hitters than with pitching and that trading away two of the best pitching prospects from a shallow pool would make it inevitable that the Phillies would have a spark of success for a few seasons and disappear next ten. Lee is a better trade for the Phils because he's just as quality - his ERA is only slightly higher and he has been playing with a worse D behind him - and he didn't cost the Phillies their next wave of stars. Halladay is a given? You can't be serious.
