[Captain Iago]

Premature released information to drive up the price?

 

[BigP50]

wow, good thing we had the run that we did in June.

 

[DMelt36]

Ouch.

 

[GrinderBall41]

Im still pissed that Lee has been God the last 3 years after sucking ass his whole career

 

[X]

yeah, I thought Lee was overrated when he went to the Phillies...but he's proving me wrong.

 

[kwstriker299]

Yeah this isn't official yet......

But if the Twins are offering Ramos, like the rumors say, it should be at some point.

 

[hsvj60]

if KW makes a move I hope he gets rid of A Jones and brings up DeAza

 

[BigP50]

he was horrible then some how went like 22-3 and now is "one of the best".

 

[Lefty]

he was horrible then some how went like 22-3 and now is "one of the best".

Well what he did was cut down drastically on the number of walks he issues:

That allowed for him to not work so deep into counts, where batters hit for most of their power:

Walking so many batters (and thus working deep into counts) is what made him seem like an irrevocable pitcher, but the rest of his peripherals have stayed fairly consistent:

He was a diamond in the rough, as they say.

he was horrible then some how went like 22-3 and now is "one of the best".

He is one of the best...The past three years, he is 7th in ERA, 3rd in CG's and SHO's, lowest BB/9, 2nd best K/BB, 5th in WHIP, and 2nd in FIP.

Now I hear that he's going to the Yankees. That would be :crazydance: for us.

 

[waldo7239117]

Yep, right now it looks like he is going to the Yanks in a package for Montero. That would be a dumb trade for them but I hope they do it, I hate the Yanks. They are going to have no future after Jeter, Posada, Mo and A-Rod retires and I like it. But they will spend and try to compete but in the future that could be harder.

I heard Cliff Lee is going to be traded to the Heat?

lulz

10:18am: The Mariners have told many interested teams that they're out of the Lee sweepstakes, according to Ken Davidoff of Newsday (via Twitter). It appears that the Yankees will acquire Lee.

[cubsneedmiracle]

Once those players retire, the Yanks will just spend another 250M on a new batch of FA's.

Its true
