November 27, 2008 Roy Halladay has been named the Jays' pitcher of the year for 2008 by the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, according to Slam Sports. Our View:He earned the honor for a record sixth time by winning 20 games, with a 2.78 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. |
|
November 19, 2008 There is speculation that the Jays will explore the market to see what they can get for ace hurler Roy Halladay, according to the Star-Ledger. He has two-years and $30 million left on his deal with the club. Our View:The Dodgers are viewed as a potential match for Halladay. If the Dodgers did acquire Halladay, they would likely draw their attention away from CC Sabathia and focus on retaining Manny Ramirez. |
|
September 25, 2008 Roy Halladay tied his career best with his ninth complete game of the season, this time coming against the New York Yankees. He allowed two runs and six hits while expending just 96 pitches on the evening. Our View:Wihtout Cliff Lee, Halladay would almost certainly get the AL Cy Young. He finished the season 20-11 with a 2.78 ERA and the aforementioned nine complete games. |
|
September 25, 2008 Blue Jays skipper Cito Gaston has agreed to a contract extension that will see him manage the team through 2010, according to the AP. Our View:Gaston is 12 games over .500, at 48-36, since he took over for John Russell near the end of June. |
|
September 20, 2008 Toronto defeated the Boston Red Sox 6-3 on Saturday, and Blue Jays hurler Roy Halladay picked up his 19th win of the year in the process. The big right-hander went six innings, giving up six hits and three runs while walking three and striking out three. Our View:It wasn't the prettiest of performances, but makes up for his last start, also against the Red Sox, in which he took the loss after going seven innings and giving up just two runs. |
|
September 14, 2008 Roy Halladay fell to 18-11 as he allowed just three runs, two earned, to the Red Sox over seven innings on Sunday. Halladay didn't walk a batter while striking out five. Our View:Though he is just 2-2 against the Red Sox this season, his four starts have produced a 2.20 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. Obviously, he has done his job in this matchup, as he has done all year regardless of the competition. |
|
September 10, 2008 Roy Halladay failed in his bid for his 19th win as he was instead handed his 10th loss of the year as he allowed five runs over six innings against the White Sox. Our View:Chicago entered tonight's matchup with the Jays batting just .144, but they produced 12 hits, including nine off Halladay. This was the first time in 10 starts that he allowed more than three earned runs as his ERA rose to 2.77, still the second best mark in the American League. |
|
September 5, 2008 Roy Halladay picked up his 18th win of the season on Friday against the Rays. He threw seven innings, struck out seven and surrendered one earned run. He had been 1-3 with a 4.82 ERA in four starts against the Rays this season. Halladay, who is 10-3 in his past 13 starts, has never lost to the same team four times in one season. Our View:Yet another excellent performance from Halladay who will be in the Cy Young conversation at the end of the season. He lowered his ERA to 2.64. |
|
August 31, 2008 Roy Halladay threw a nice game for Toronto, and over seven innings gave up just two runs on a pair of solo home runs in the Blue Jays 6-2 win over the Yankees. Our View:This was win number 17 for Halladay, who had a brilliant August, accumulating five wins and an ERA of 2.08. |
|
August 26, 2008 Toronto ace Roy Halladay was on his mark once again this evening, pitching six innings to surrender two earned runs on six hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. Our View:Halladay now sits at 4-1 on the month, touting six walks versus 34 strikeouts along that span. |
|
August 21, 2008 Roy Halladay notched his 15th win of the season, as the Blue Jays handed New York its worst loss of the season, 14-3 on Thursday night. Our View:Halladay allowed three earned runs while striking out nine in his seven innings of work against the Yankees. |
|
August 16, 2008 Roy Halladay tossed a complete game against the Red Sox on Saturday and improved to 14-9. The ace carried a shutout into the ninth inning, when he allowed a solo homer. Halladay finished with seven hits and one run against. Our View:Doc isn't the frontrunner, but his name should be mentioned in Cy Young talk. He has now tossed eight complete games and ranks among the leaders in wins, ERA, WHIP, and BAA. Oh, and he's been excellent for fantasy teams. |
|
August 9, 2008 Roy Halladay took the loss, and though he was not as sharp as usual, he still threw 6.2 innings, allowing one earned run and striking out six. Our View:Halladay continues to roll, but came up a little short today. Don't hesitate to keep running him back out there in fantasy leagues. |
|
August 7, 2008 Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston will be returning to the team next season, according to the Associated Press. Our View:Gaston has Toronto playing above .500 since he took over. Unfortunately for them, it's not nearly good enough to be in the A.L. East race, though they are just 7.5 games out in the wild card race. |
|
August 4, 2008 Roy Halladay won game number 13 as Toronto defeated Oakland 6-1. He pitched eight innings, allowed just four hits, gave up one earned run and struck out eight. Our View:In Halladay's last 29 innings pitched, he has allowed just five earned runs, and he continues to provide fantasy owners with solid production. |
|
July 29, 2008 Toronto RHP Roy Halladay found his efforts wasted as his teammates managed to post just five hits for no runs, taking the 3-0 loss on the chin. Halladay pitched eight innings, allowing three runs (all earned) on six hits with three walks and eight strikeouts. Our View:Halladay now sits at 12-8 on the season with a 2.85 ERA. He has gone at least seven innings deep in five of his last six starts, allowing a combined 11 earned runs during that span. |
|
July 24, 2008 Roy Halladay needed 119 pitches to get through seven innings on Thursday. He struck out six, walked one and gave up a single earned run to the Orioles. Our View:After a terrible start on Saturday, Halladay bounced back well. Recent internet rumors suggest the Jays have talked to contending teams trying to gauge what they gould get in return for the former Cy Young award winner. |
|
July 19, 2008 Roy Halladay was knocked around by the Rays Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over six innings. Our View:Even Doc is human. Expect him to be back in top form next week in Baltimore. |
|
July 16, 2008 Roy Halladay told the Globe and Mail that Toronto fans don't have to worry about him leaving. "They [the fans] shouldn't be worried I'm leaving," he said. "There's no chance if I have anything to say about it that I'm going anywhere. I can understand maybe disappointment with the way we're going. But as long as it's up to me, I'm staying." Halladay is under contract through 2010 and would be interested to extend his deal over the offseason. Our View:The Jays would be nuts to trade the rock of their rotation, especially since he's making below-market value. |
|
July 15, 2008 Roy Halladay threw one inning for the American League, and retired Lance Berkman, Albert Pujols and Chipper Jones, the three leading hitters in baseball. He had a little help, as Pujols hit a ball off the right-field wall but was subsequently thrown out at second by Ichiro Suzuki. Our View:Halladay was throwing heat and he looked great, as usual. Even the pitch to Pujols wasn't bad, but Albert just reached out and got it. |
|
July 14, 2008 Roy Halladay expressed some mild displeasure with the Blue Jays on Monday, saying he's tired of not competing for the postseason. "It's hard to keep doing the same things each year and it's hard to not see a progression," Halladay tells the Canadien Press. "We sit down every spring training and we talk about the same things and it's almost like a little bit of 'Groundhog Day.' That definitely gets frustrating, you want to talk about why we're succeeding, what we've done to help us get to the point of where we're at, and we just haven't done that." The ace adds that he's like to eventually play for a team that can win the World Series. Our View:Halladay is under contract through 2010, but it almost sounds like he's gearing up to move on. He'll be 33 once his deal is up, and the Blue Jays appear to be stuck in neutral. Anyway, Roy is having a fantastic season despite the Blue Jays' issues. He'll remain a fantasy stud. |
|
July 11, 2008 Roy Halladay continued another Cy Young-worthy season by holding a banged up Yankees lineup to just two hits. He struck out eight in the process. Our View:Halladay's ERA is down to 2.71. More impressively, he has 121 strikeouts in 136.1 innings. He had 139 Ks in 225.1 IP last season. |
|
July 10, 2008 Roy Halladay will not pitch tonight against the Orioles as scheduled. Instead, the team is pushing his start back to tomorrow so he can face the Yankees, according to the Baltimore Sun. Our View:Halladay is having another outstanding year, and fantasy owners should obviously still start him, even against a tougher Yankees lineup. |
|
July 5, 2008 Roy Halladay posted another quality start holding the Angels to just two runs over seven innings as he improved to 10-6 on the year. Our View:Halladay was at his normal, dominating best yet again tonight as he allowed just one free pass while striking out seven. He is completely locked in right now and has clearly reestablished himself as one of the top-15 hurlers in the game. |
|
June 25, 2008 Roy Halladay was far from his best on Wednesday but he kept the Jays in the game after allowing five early runs eventually leaving with five runs allowed in 6.2 innings. Our View:It was great to see Halladay back on the hill after taking that liner off his head in his last outing, and after that tough start he settled in and looked solid over the last four innings. |
|
June 23, 2008 Roy Halladay took a brutal line drive off his temple on Friday, but is expected to make his next scheduled start, according to the Toronto Star. Halladay said, "I was a little dizzy walking off but I was fine in the clubhouse." Our View:His CAT-scan came back fine, and he did some running before Sunday's game. |
|
June 21, 2008 Roy Halladay has escaped unscathed despite getting drilled in the face by a line drive yesterday. "I feel fine. Everything checked out, so it's just back to normal," Halladay said on MLB.com. "I just got a little dizzy when I was walking off, but once I got up here, it went away. After that, I felt pretty normal and never really got any headaches or anything like that. I'm just fortunate, I guess." Our View:The Jays could ill afford to have lost Doc with Shaun Marcum landing on the DL. Halladay will make his next start. |
|
June 20, 2008 Roy Halladay pitched seven shutout innings against the Pirates before having to leave the game after taking a line drive off his right temple, according to the Globe and Mail. Halladay was not taken for x-rays and was in the clubhouse until the end of the game in the 11th inning. Our View:Great news that he seems to have avoided a major injury, but we would think the Jays will be extremely cautious with their ace in the coming week meaning he could easily miss a start or two. |
|
June 20, 2008 Roy Halladay will challenge the Pirates tonight in inter-league action, according to MLB.com. Halladay is 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA in one career start against the Pirates. Our View:Halladay is 8-6 this season, with a 3.09 ERA and strong 1.03 WHIP. He has allowed two or less earned runs in eight starts, and has only issued three total walks over his last seven outings. |
|
June 14, 2008 Roy Halladay had his shortest start of the season on Saturday, lasting only five innings against the Cubs. The ace allowed seven hits and six runs (two earned), walked one, and struck out five. Halladay needed 95 pitches to get through five, and he took the loss. Our View:If that continues to be the worst outing Halladay has all year, fantasy owners will be smiling. Doc remains a fantasy stud. |
|
June 8, 2008 Toronto RHP Roy Halladay picked up his eighth win of the season today, helping his team to a 5-4 win over Baltimore. Halladay went 7 2/3 innings to allow four runs (all earned) on eight hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. Our View:That's four consecutive wins for Halladay, giving up just two walks combined versus 24 strikeouts through that span. |
|
May 30, 2008 According to the Jays' team website, Roy Halladay has surpassed former left-hander Jimmy Key, giving him the third most wins by a pitcher in Toronto history. Our View:Halladay has recorded 117 victories and trails Dave Stieb (175) and Jim Clancy (128). |
|
May 28, 2008 Roy Halladay was in top form again Wednesday night, limiting the A's to one run on eight hits and a walk while striking out nine over eight innings. Halladay has gone at least eight innings an astonishing seven times in 11 starts this year. Our View:Doc has a 2.93 ERA and 0.99 ERA on the year, yet he's just 6-5, which should be enough to convince you (if you haven't already been convinced) that the win statistic is vastly overrated. |
|
May 23, 2008 Roy Halladay tossed his fifth complete game of the season Friday, limiting the Royals to one run on four hits while striking out five. His ERA now sits at 3.11 on the year. Our View:Amazingly, Halladay has won just two of those five complete game efforts. Only two other pitchers (James Shields and Ben Sheets) have two complete games this season. |
|
May 18, 2008 Roy Halladay came out of the bullpen for his first relief effort since July 22, 2001 as he pitched 2.1 innings in a game delayed by rain. Halladay was his typical dominating self allowing just one hit with no walks. Our View:The ultimate teammate, this outing will likely cause the Jays to move back Halladay's next start, previously scheduled for Tuesday, until Saturday. |
|
May 14, 2008 Roy Halladay, who has been the victim of poor run support all season getting only 3.14 runs per outing, got four runs from a Matt Stairs grand slam in the top of the first and held on for his fourth victory of the season. The Toronto horse allowed four runs on nine hits, didn't walk a batter and struck out eight in 6.2 innings of work. Our View:Halladay's ERA spiked to 3.49 and his workman like WHIP took a small bump north to 1.09. |
|
May 9, 2008 Roy Halladay lost for the fourth time in five starts and fell to 5-1 in his career against Cleveland.

|
May 9, 2008 Roy Halladay will aim to even up his record to 4-4 when he takes the hill against the Indians tonight, according to MLB.com. Halladay is 3-4 with a 3.00 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 57 innings, with only seven walks allowed. Our View:Halladay is 5-0 in 10 career games against the Indians. He has only allowed one earned run in each of his last two starts, and he should remain in control tonight. |
|
May 4, 2008 Roy Halladay improved his record to 3-4 in Sunday's 4-3 win over the White Sox. Halladay only allowed three runs on three hits over 7.1 innings, with seven strikeouts and no walks. Our View:He lowered his ERA to 3.00 as well. He registered his highest strikeout total of the season today, and this was also the first start that he did not allow a walk. He earned his title of Jays' staff ace today. |
|
April 29, 2008 Roy Halladay will seek to even up his record to 3-3 when he takes on the Red Sox tonight, according to MLB.com. Halladay has thrown three straight complete games, which leads the Majors. In his career against the Red Sox, Halladay is 10-10 with a 4.81 ERA in 33 games.

|
April 23, 2008 Toronto RHP Roy Halladay enjoyed a strong evening on the mound, though the lack of offensive support left the Blue Jays with a 3-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Halladay worked eight full innings, throwing just 107 pitches (67 for strikes), allowing five runs (all earned) on nine hits. Halladay failed to surrender a home run, allowed just one walk and struck out four. Our View:In five starts for Halladay, the team ace has totaled just five walks versus 25 strike outs, and he has not allowed a single home run over his last three outings. |
|
April 23, 2008 Roy Halladay is set to take the mound against the Rays tonight, according to MLB.com. He is 2-2 with a 3.27 ERA, and has already worked 33 innings over four starts, with 21 strikeouts. He is 9-4 with a 3.66 ERA over 23 games against Tampa Bay. Our View:Halladay is off to a nice start, and while he is no longer in the elite class of fantasy pitchers, he can still provide you with solid numbers as a starter. |
|
April 17, 2008 Roy Halladay pitched his second straight complete game against Texas on Thursday. The outcome, however, wasn't what the former Cy Young winner or the Blue Jays wanted. The Rangers recorded 11 hits, four runs and notched a 4-1 victory. Our View:Halladay helped ease the pain of an overworked bullpen, but the loss leveled out his and Toronto's records, to 2-2 and 8-8, respectively. |
|
April 12, 2008 Roy Halladay threw 111 pitches on his way to a one run, complete game victory over the Rangers. On the night, Halladay walked one, allowed six hits and struck out six. Our View:Halladay is an innings eater who has at least four complete games in each of the last four seasons he has thrown at least 140 innings, and while he is no longer as dominant as he once was he is still a staple on many a championship team. |
|
April 6, 2008 Roy Halladay earned his first win of the season on Sunday against Boston as he allowed four runs on eight hits over eight innings of work, with one walk and six strikeouts. He gave up three home runs but still won the game, as Toronto prevailed 7-4. If not for strong run support, Halladay would be 0-2 right now. |
|
April 2, 2008 Roy Halladay was dealt his first loss in the Blue Jays' season opener against the Yankees on Tuesday, as he allowed three runs on seven hits (solo home run) over seven innings, with two walks and three strikeouts. He should bounce back. |
|

|
March 10, 2008 Roy Halladay got his work in on Monday, and though he punched out five Astros batters, he allowed six hits and three runs in the game. Halladay is just working himself into game shape as he continues to be one of the most consistently excellent starting pitchers in baseball. |
|
March 5, 2008 Roy Halladay worked three scoreless innings on Wednesday allowing only one hit while striking out two. Halladay also worked on his curveball and appeared to be in mid-season form in this outing. Halladay, who has won 32 games while throwing 445.1 innings the past two seasons, is one of the top-15 hurlers in baseball this year, especially in leagues that award points for complete games (he has 11 the past two seasons). |
