Twitter Poll: Would you have made the proposed trade for Halladay?

Though there are conflicting reports about the validity of the proposed trade for Roy Halladay, I took to Twitter and asked my followers if they would have pulled the trigger on a trade that sent Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell, Jon Niese and Ruben Tejada to the Blue Jays for Roy Halladay.

Here are their responses…

YES

BlueAndOrange said: yes

mikexdavis said: The deal would be done before I could even finish this tweet.

michellegraz said: Yes

Sicilianboy6 said: yess I wuld, we'd still have holt,Flores, davis and meija

julierubes said: YES! Him and Santana together with an eventually healthy roster. YES.

SportsEcycloped said: Yes

gecko32899 said: i wouldn't have had to think about it. We'd be selling orange Halladay shirts by sunrise

Turbo1289 said: We should have got Halladay so the Phillies wont get him, besides Santana and Halladay would be awesome

dmgerbino said: Yes, I would make the trade

elZi said: Yes I would

Matt_Pignataro said: Yes. Just think of a rotation with Santana and Halladay, one and two, especially in the playoffs. Wow!

Sportz_Nut said: yes I would have. Halladay and Santana at the top of a rotation? KRod closing? Mets are built to win NOW!!!

JohnnyRanz said: Absolutely!

Mike_Peters said: in a heartbeat...

twayward said: YES!!!

darknova306 said: I did that trade 37 times in my sleep and would do it again (if we extend him). Rotation behind Johan is a huge concern now.

darknova306 continued: it's really a trade for 2010. We're built to win now/soon. If they don't intend to win now, blow up the team for prospects.

kerelcoop said: Yes & I would have added another minor leaguer if the BlueJays asked.

ArizonaSecrets said: YES

patrickboegel said: yes, very much so yes

sparbz said: Yeah.

ClareLafferty said:  yes..we need the pitching help

bstronge said: them and beltran!!

tfc3rid said: No question about it... I'd do that yesterday...

MarcARodriguez said: if it's true , it should have happened in a heartbeat, front office is gonzo for not pulling the trigger

metsphanatic said: i would have done it in a heart beat

disgruntmetsfan said: Throw in Ray Ramirez and a bag of sunflower seeds and the price is just right.

reggittino said: In a heartbeat

fscker said: what's wrong with the mets? that's a no brainer.

MetsToob said: Yes!

NO

ProctorsArm said: Unless Halladay can bring Reyes, Beltran and Delgado back with him, no.

mattclausen said: nope....I have another but crazier offer in mind

YaGottaBKiddnMe said: no. we need to have some semblance of a farm system that can at least sorta play baseball.

Retire31 said: No. I'm not stupid.

yaysarcasm said: No. But I'm starting to think F-Mart is going to be a bust, and we should get rid of him. Lets not Milledge this up

McKern said: No. For all the reasons others has said. I don't want the #mets having any more reason to tighten up and not score.

Topher33 said: No, Mets would be giving up way too much. Plus, who's to say they'd be able to score any runs for him.

thebrowncoat said: No. One player can't make this team a contender. Mortgaging the future would be stupid. And we got Santana for less than that

Drewthedew086 said: I agree with the non-move as well. We're never going to get out of the situation we're in now if we don't hold on to prospect

nymets945 said: Nope unless they gave us Alex Rios as well

wrongheaven said: I wouldn't.

Jbones72 said: no glad they didn't make trade

metsjetsgirl said: No. Wouldn't help the non-existent offense. You can't win games without run support. Not worth depleting the farm.

drsexington said: No to the Halladay trade. Doc is a great P but he ain't the answer unless he plays every position a la Bugs Bunny.

pAuLiE_bRuZ said: i'm happy we turned down the halladay deal, losing all that talent for yes a great pitcher but then what? no young talent!

Jim1975 said: definately not. It looks like the future is all we have. we should have stepped in and got Pedro.

BlackMagic718 said: As of today, no.

letsgoduke said: of course not. That is a ridiculous trade. If we were the red sox, maybe.

NYMetsGrrl94 said: No. The loss of prospects isn't worth it when the Mets aren't in any race.

tyronem said: nope.

s2kmikey said: no. we don't score any runs for santana. what makes people think we'll score any for halladay?

FMauceri said: I wouldn't make that trade. Mets would be giving up too much potential. And they can't afford the salary.

gabefarkas said: No. I like Bobby Parnell too much, and out bullpen would have been decimated by that trade.

andy79 said: no. too high a cost to ultimately miss the playoffs this year. keep the young guys.

Colarusso42 said: . call me a sentimental Mets' fan but I wouldn't have made that trade. Not cost-effective.

dances_w_vowels said: No.

Split pretty evenly.  I’m intrigued.

Easily the most participated in Twitter Poll.  If this level of response keeps up, I won’t be able to use everyone’s, so start making them count!!

Where do you stand on the true/not true proposed Halladay trade?
