Cheapness is certainly also involved, they're simply gambling Halladay is enough this year to get them back to the World Series. The postseason is a crap shoot anyway. They had zero chance to sign Lee. Evidently Lee wants Sabathia money. I'm not sure who will give him that. Lee was the big winner. He has a much better chance to put up good numbers with Seattle as his home park rather than Philly despite the presence of a DH. I can honestly see both sides to should the Phillies have traded Lee argument. Sometimes being cheap can work.

Dont believe that crap that they are feeding everyone about those propects. There is no valid theory that I know of that says Lee being traded helps them win the WS this year. If they got back a blue chip guy and Amaro said I couldnt pass on him, I could see it. But they got 3 question marks.
