Another link. Good job by the Phillies to get him. Just glad it wasn't the Yankees. Wonder how much money he got.

5/100 to the philllies, wow

Holy schit.... what a pitching staff.
Cole Hamels is now their #4 starter.

Unfair.

Wow. He really didn't go for the money there.

Jake Westbrook > Cole Hamels

Glad we can get past the idea that the Player's Union "makes" players take the biggest contract they get offered.

Phillies have to be the clear favorites now.

AP is reporting it to now.

Phillies pulled off the move of the century here. They got Cliff Lee for less than Weth and Crawford...

This is absolutely comparable to the HEAT...

Agree 110%.

[ElectricEye]

He must be 100% convinced he can win a championship there. Either that or the money isn't right. I wouldn't surprised if we heard about a couple option years or something.

This is more like Gary Payton and Karl Malone joining the Lakers.

Lebron got a max deal. Lee took much less money than he could've. $20M per year. What an awesome guy.

would not be surprised if a call has been made by Jon Daniels to Dayton Moore as we speak

[D-Unit]

Rangers need to jump on the Greinke train. Garza too.

LeBron took less from Miami as well.

Payton and Malone were not very good at that point.

They essentially have four of the top 20-30 starters in the entire league.

Yup. That much revealed itself when he didn't sign with the Yankees right away. The longer it dragged out the less if favored them and it kind of became apparent towards the end that he wasn't going to New York. Supposedly his wife got treated poorly while there or something along the line too. Got to respect the hell out of him for going with his heart instead of the money.
