99% . The prospects they got back for Lee are not top of the line guys. The fact that Toronto gave them $6 million in the trade makes it even more unforgivable.

Sniper-zero chance lee signs a deal like Halladay did. He is going to want a long term deal with a whole lot more guaranteed money. Halladay's signing for a far below market rate may be the bigest surprise of all.

Looks like Amaro and Montgomery are developing the same LOSER mentality that the local pro football team with ZERO rings has.


UNBELIEVABLE



REAL Philly sports fans wanted them to find a way to keep you in red and white, Cliff.

Thanks for that STELLAR performance last season.

Good luck, bro…

You know what Booth, you really have no clue dont you?

Comparing the Phillies to the Eagles is an insult to everyone in Red. So they traded a guy they werent going to be able to sign and helped rebuild the farm. they also signed THE BEST PITCHER IN BASEBALL for the next FOUR years!!!!

It would have been incredible to keep Lee... the screwed up by givng Moyer a two year contract. **** happens. We have Polanco instead of Feliz. At this very moment we are a slightly BETTER team than last year... oh by the way we won the past two pennants and a world series. and we are better now. Roy Halladay is every teams wet dream and he's a proven AL East Killer.

So while of course all of us fans would have loved to keep Lee.. that means we would NOT have Halladay (they werent going to do the deal without getting some prospects back). and in 2011 Hamels would be our #1 guy and we'd have no Lee or Halladay.

Get a grip.. dont get so tough on the team who is the best in the NL and the favorites to go back to the series the THIRD time in a row!

What would have prevented the Phillies from signing Halladay as a free agent in 2011?

Spin this HORRIBLE call any way you want, Antichrist32


When they have a real shot to get two rings in three years … winners GO FOR IT with everything they have!!!

They don't stand around like a couple of little girls worrying about "the future".



UNBELIEVEABLE that they could let this guy go


Khrist, is this Reid-Lurie all over again??????????????????

We have just as good of a shot to get back there next year as we did last year. What, you think by adding Halladay and Polanco now we are going to miss the playoffs?? (granted anything can happen)

We are a BETTER TEAM RIGHT NOW THAN THE PAST TWO BACK TO BACK NL PENNANT WINNING TEAMS

would have cost us more $$ then...

come on now. Signing Halladay right now for Drabeck and Taylor was a TERRIFIC move for the Phillies. An absolute steal for the extension also (if 20mill per year can possibly be a steal)

The trade in question is the Lee trade. Obviously the fans wanted it NOT to happen. I dont think Amaro really wanted it to happen but nobody wanted Blanton and we made the mistake with Moyer.

We are still a better team now than we were last year. Halladay is > Lee (though not by too much).

Only in Philly can people complain when they just landed the best pitcher in baseball!

I'm not too upset, excited to have Halladay.. bummed about Lee moving but if he wants to "retire as a Phillie" like he said yesterday he can come take less $ from us next year!
