cliff lee to the phillies?

[eagles21]

I agree about rather having Halladay, but if this deal for Lee happens, I will be very pleased. I wasn't on board for trading the farm for Halladay, and if we can keep some of our top prospects for a slight downgrade, I'd be all for it.

If the Indians deal Ben Francisco, is it a safe assumption that Matt LaPorta will be recalled?

Rosenthal says the sides have agreed on the deal, pending medical review:

looks like they have agreed, per mlbtr. pending medical record examination.

edit: ha, everyone beat me to it.

also, is it laporta time in cleveland finally?

[great gretzky]

sorry, this is a wuss out. at that point, why not just sack up and get halladay.

How do fly ball pitchers like Cliff Lee usually do in Citizens Bank?

actually i was thinking the same thing so i looked it up again. he used to be a ~66% fb pitcher but over the last two years he's only ~55% fb pitcher. not terrible, but his hr rate will probably go up.

Dang, I was hoping that Vmart/Cliff Lee trade to the Dodgers was forreal. Guess this decides it's not. The Dodgers still need another starter, get Washburn!!!

Nice deal for Cleveland IMO.
