Well, the Jays are not so desperate for lefty hitting that they'll trade a Roy Halladay -- or even a Burnett -- for a hitter who is 18 years old and unlikely to be a big-league regular for some time. Realistically, if you want to trade for Halladay and want to dangle a hitter as bait, then you're talking about someone like Beltran. Halladay's one of the top pitchers in the game, so you're not going to get him without giving up someone who is at or near elite level -- prospects won't come close.
Obviously Beltran would be something of a steep price (and the prospects might need to be included as well), but that's why it's tough to trade for a proven major-league ace. Wright would be another option, but the Jays would likely be more keen on Beltran who, despite hitting a bit better from the right side, has good numbers batting left-handed as well. (Not that Wright's a slouch against righties, of course.)
Yep, we're talking about big bats, but if we're being honest, that's what it would take.
Burnett is definitely someone more likely to be available, but again, I don't think prospects do it ... not if the Jays want to contend in 2007. Humber is, admittedly, an attractive option, but I'm not sure this package quite gets the deal done. I suspect the Jays would be looking for the two prospects you've mentioned, plus a quality major league lefty bat ... of course, a Beltran would not be necessary to pull off this deal. Burnett's health is and always has been suspect.
