Well, evidently that is the market value for Lee. The Indians got crap for him, and the Mariners didn't give away any top ones either to get him. For as good as he's pitched the last two years, he's not fetching much in the way of prospects. They got 3 question marks back for the 4 they gave up to get him. I don't know how organizations operate with regards to their minor league systems.

There is no valid theory on that trading Lee would help them win the World Series. However, baseball is strange. By what theory, after 2008 could you have said Hamels would have a sub par year and Lidge would absolutely stink in 2009 and the Phillies would still make it back to the World Series?? I simply look at my Cleveland Indians. All the good years Lee had with them, they never made the playoffs in any of them. The year Lee stunk to high heaven and couldn't even make the post season roster, they had a 3-1 lead in the ALCS
