Lets hope Halladay is a playoff stud like Lee

[Antitrust32]

Phillies getting Halladay and trading Cliff Lee. Aparently, the Phillies were not getting anywhere with Lee in extention talks, and Lee was going to test the FA market after next season.

Phillies would have about a 0% chance of signing Lee in FA and Lee was asking for $23m per year and no home team discount.

This deal is based on a multi-year deal with Halladay.

As much as it saddens me to see Cliff Lee go.. If he wasnt going to sign long term, getting Halladay for 3-4 years is the right deal.

Besides, at last years mid season trade deadline.. nobody was saying Cliff Lee was the best pitcher in baseball.. that accolade went to Halladay.

I just hope Halladay can do even 75% as good as Lee in the playoffs.

Its a given if he stays healthy Halladay is going to tear up the NL.
