The biggest concern with Lee is how he handles big situations. His success these past 2 years has come when the Indians sucked. I'm interested to see how he handles a lot more pressure now.

 

Do you have some kinda personnel vendetta against Lee? I notice it seems really hard for you to just acknowledge he's a good pitcher. Before the season you (and a lot of people) dismissed him as a 1-season fluke. And you were still doing this even through May when it was pretty clear last year wasn't a fluke. Now he's getting traded to a considerably weaker league where guys like Randy Wells and Joel Pinerio are dominating and now you're questioning if he can handle pressure?

It is a legitimate question. Think Javy Vazquez. We will see.

The Phillies got robbed blind on this one. Ultimately, I’d say it adds about to 2-4 wins this year in a division they were almost assured to win without making a move.

 

They got robbed blind without giving up their top three prospects (Drabek, Taylor, Brown) or J.A. Happ?

speaking of the devil himself, he gave up 3 ER in 7.1 IP tonight and his ERA for the season rose (from 2.98 to 3.01). He's been filthy and the Braves are only 4 out in the Wild Card.
