Roy Halladay spoke about all the trade rumors involving his name before Tuesday night's All-Star Game. When asked how he felt about the direction of the franchise, Halladay had this to say: "Yeah, I do [like it]. I think we have a lot of great pieces. But the tough part is to be in a tough division. I think sometimes you do think you have enough guys to make a run. But if we lose one or two, it's just been frustrating in the past couple of years that we haven't been able to go out and get those couple of extra guys... "So everything has to go right. You need guys to play to their potential. And you need two or three guys, that you don't expect, to step up," Halladay said. Halladay said that he likes Toronto's young players, but it might take them too long to finally reach the postseason. "There is a lot there to look forward to," he said of the Blue Jays. "But I just think it's so hard for any of us to say that [the year we win] will be this year or this year or this year."
