I know the guy has made some good moves with the club ... but he had a chance to have two bona-fide killers at the top of the rotation while going for a second world championship in three seasons ... and the genius let Lee go for those great prospects.
AMEN

I am inclined to agree with SO.
While I understand trading a chip (especially one who is going to command a ton of money in the off season) for prospects and your teams future.
But why worry about the future, when you have a team that could win right now? Having both Halladay and Lee for the playoffs could have had serious implications for the Phills winning their 2nd tittle in 3 years.
