The Phils are shipping Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, Jason Knapp and Lou Marson to Cleveland for Lee and Ben Francisco, a 27-year-old righthanded outfielder who is hitting .250 with 10 home runs, 33 RBI and 13 steals.
Welcome to Philadelphia, Cliff Lee. I hope your career is much, much better than Travis Lee's here in Philadelphia.
How nuts would it be if they got Halladay too? Seriously.
I guess all of those Travis Lee jerseys out there can be brought back out again. Someone will do it.
ReplyDeleteit'd be funny if cliff lee wore #16
ReplyDeleteThis is the best trade I ever remember the Phils makin. We did not have to get rid of our a lot of our top prospects in Taylor, Brown, Drabek or Happ. I think Drabek may be a future all-star and if we got rid of Happ we would have to rely on Moyer or Martinez the rest of the season. I'm tellin ya, Lee is gonna kick ass and getting a solid RH bat off the bench is clutch!
ReplyDeleteI'm pumped about it too ... but you don't know shit about Drabek, stop actin like you do douche. Also, how tits would it be to get Halladay too, even though that's not gonna happen?
ReplyDeletefuck Halladay, we cant give away Happ to rent Halladay, not to mention all the prospects they wanted too!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I've done some research on Drabek and watched some clips, bitch! When making a trade: go for the best deal!
ReplyDeleteHapp has already given up 2 runs. He's not as good as you think. And you've seen Drabek pitch exactly how many times?
ReplyDeleteLets hope Lee can be what he has been for 2-3 years in his career...for a 31 year old he doesn't exactly have a huge track record. I like the deal for the now, time will tell if it was the right move as you've said.
ReplyDeleteLotsa lefties. Will be interesting to see what happens at the back end of the rotay.
