![]() sooo freaking happy right now! Cliff Lee, the reigning Cy Young winner with a 3.14 era this year for four second tier prospects. Didnt have to give up Happ, Drebeck, Brown or Taylor.
Such a better trade then giving up our whole farm and most consistent starter this year for a 33 year old Halladay. Lee is only owed 8 mil next year. (Halladay 15 mil) And I believe we have a much better chance signing him long term then we would have with Halladay. cleveland gets a AAA pitcher in Carrasco, 6-9 with a 5 era, jason knapp, the supposed centerpiece with is 2-7 in A ball, a catcher hitting .235 when they have santana, and a shortstop jason donald hitting .231 in the Rookie League. What a great trade for the Phils. Our playoff staff (knock on wood), Cole "Hollywood" Hamels (who I wouldnt trade for ANYONE when the pressure is on), Cliff Lee, J.A. Happ, and Joe Blanton. Oh yeah, we also have a 3 time Cy Young winner who if he gets his rhythm well can help us out. AND we also got a right handed batter (which we desperately needed) who had 10 homers, 13 steals and a .250 average.. and in the past 7 games has a .417 average with 3 homers, 6 rbi's. ![]() ![]() ![]() Look out Scuds!

![]() Lee isn't great but even if they had to give up Happ or Drabek it was still a steal. To keep all four of them and give up garbage is a heck of a deal.

Lee isnt Halladay but he's an elite pitcher, he's not an ACE but he's a solid #1 on almost any team.. and he won the cy young last year! He battled injuries when he was younger and is only really getting into a groove the past 2 years.. I kinda feel bad for Morty and the other Cleveland fans. but I'm over it already ![]()

You already had us. We are gunna start that chokin' Lady Billingsley twice, and we don't hit good pitching(at all.) Maybe 2 guys can do it, and that's not a team. Dodgers should of made this deal, but no. We got to go to the post with mediocre starters, and can't hit good pitching. We are made to play the regular season, and the Cubs in the post. Gales wonders why their isn't a full crowd. Maybe people know it's not a serious playoff team. I told ya they needed to get rid of these chokes. They had value. They still have value. You can't win a ring with chokes being the backbone of your post season pitching staff. Last edited by SCUDSBROTHER : 07-29-2009 at 04:29 PM. |

![]() Holy crap. The Mariners gave up more for Jack Wilson and Ian Snell than the Phillies did for Cliff Lee. Then the Giants had to top them all by giving up far more (Alderson) for Freddie Sanchez. Has the world gone mad? Biggest winners this week is a tossup between the Pirates and the Phillies.

Talent alone(without the drive or guts of a winner) is not that great to watch. It's often actually a downer. You shouldn't have to beg these people to compete. Seriously, I'd rather watch E. Velez claw his way back than watch that fkn Broxton ever pitch again. There would be nothing make me more happy than to hear that he was traded. I am really tired of having a guy this talented not have the balls to use the talent God gave him. They would really have to be simply idiots to think this guy can close out World Series games. He's mentally unable to do that. Last edited by SCUDSBROTHER : 07-30-2009 at 01:42 PM. |

The Alderson trade could be a huge mistake for SF. Sanchez is what he is and that isnt that great. Alderson could be a star. Sabean does some unusual things... |

Sanchez may be good to get on base, but that offense is not much better and they gave up a really good pitcher for him
