All the Indians could get for Cliff Lee, who has a very affordable price tag for next year, was four Phillies prospects who aren't major-league ready? We're looking for answers too, pal.Discussion starter: Who's more pissed today? Cleveland fans who just lost their top pitcher, or every other front office in baseball that just found out how affordable Lee really was?
Debate.
Incredibly, the Phillies still have Drabek and Happ...so if they still wanted to, they can still trade those guys and get Halladay to go along with Lee...
ReplyDeleteWatch it, stiles, you are starting to sound like Steve Phillips.
ReplyDeleteNeither.
ReplyDeleteCleveland fans needn't be upset because, if your team can't do enough to keep its best pitcher, who is pitching to a 3 ERA above .500 (he's had to scramble to get to 7 - 9), your team is too fucked for Lee to be of much use.
Other GMs couldn't make this deal because there's a pipeline from Cleveland to Philly unavailable to other GMs.
Omar whiffs again!!! And so do the Steinklebummers!!!
