Oh good God that doesn't sound nearly as agreeable...like...at all


Im fine with it, and I love May.

Further from the bigs, more time for things to go wrong, and Knapp's already have two issues with his shoulder.

So we're talking Carrasco, Taylor, Knapp, and May for Lee?

Yeah, let's go back to Roy please.

Too close to a Halladay price for my tastes.

Carrasco could be in a deal for Willingham.

guys this isn't some crap consolation prize. Cliff Lee won one more CY Young Award than Halladay last year, he's a little younger, and he's cheaper.
He should take a lot to get.

This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

that's funny. Indians' scouts are in LV to watch the players on the bench.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Looking for a top starter to bolster their so-so rotation, the Philadelphia Phillies are pursuing reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee.

The defending World Series champion have offered the Cleveland Indians a package of players for Lee, a baseball official familiar with the trade proposal told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Philadelphia's offer doesn't include top pitching prospect Kyle Drabek, the person said on condition of anonymity because negotiations are ongoing. The non-waiver trade deadline is Friday.

The NL East-leading Phillies also had been pursuing Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, but shifted their attention to Lee because Toronto's asking price for the six-time All-Star is high.

I know what you're asking yourself and the answer is yes. I have a nick name for my penis. Its called the Octagon, but I also nick named my testes - my left one is James Westfall and my right one is Doctor Kenneth Noisewater.

Phils lead Lee race; Dodgers plan a push — 11:41 a.m.

The Phillies look like the front-runners for Indians left-hander Cliff Lee. But the Dodgers were planning to make a "hard push" for Lee on Wednesday, according to a major-league source.

Whether the Dodgers will be too late remains to be seen. The Angels, too, are interested in Lee, while the Phillies also are pursuing Mariners left-hander Jarrod Washburn.

The Phillies scratched Class AAA right-hander Carlos Carrasco from his start on Wednesday, a strong indication that he is about to be traded.


So, Carrasco for Willingham and then we get Lee or Doc. Seems fair.
