I'm hoping RAJ can keep Happ, too.

Um, NSFW.

I just assume that most people are smart enough to listen to YouTube videos at work with their headphones on. Call it technological Darwinism

Never assume.

That said, I'm good, but others, in their excitement, may get caught off guard. I'm caring and helpful like that.

I'm hoping it's Happ that goes rather than the other 3.

So basically it comes down to which of the following two options you prefer:

1) Lee in 2010
2) Halladay and Drabek in 2011 and beyond

I'm thinking he gets some dough from the Jays, gets Halladay to defer a few mil and we keep 'em both.

if RAJ basically gets SEA/LAA to pay for Halladay and an extension AND keeps drabek in the fold then I'll have to build a cuttlefish of cthulhu like extension on the statue of him I built in my basement.

Lee is great. And he seemed to fit right in with the team and loved being here. But clearly I would rather have Drabek and Halladay long term over Lee for 1 year.

If RAJ pulls this off it's going to be a work of art. We might not like the finished product entirely, but it's going to be fantastic GM work.
