Cardinals have the two best defensive catchers in the majors now. Although neither of them can hit.

First Wood and now Prior. The Yankees are probably just bringing them in so they can personally apologize to Joba Chamerblain for scaring the Yanks into stifling his career.

Lol the Philly news stations are praising Cliff Lee for being selfless and not caring about money. In the end, he's still making $24 million per year.

Dude's making $24 million per year. Since when does making $24 million a year signify not caring about the dough? Yeah, he would've made more money with the Yankees and Rangers, but it's not like he took a 2 year deal worth $10 million to pitch for the A's or anything. |

Also, never understood what the difference is between 90 and 120 million dollars is. I mean, is there really something you can do with 120 that you couldn't afford with 90? I feel like Ryan Braun said something to this affect when he signed his contract. Its kinda true IMO.

Gilbert Arenas said it. "What can I buy with $120 million that I can't buy with $100 million?"

If Pettitte doesn't come back to the Yankees for the start of next year I would be disappointed if he didn't at least make a Clemens-esque triumphant return around the All-Star Break to save our season, complete with Suzyn Waldman hysteria.

Was listening to Stephen A. Smith this morning (his show's actually not bad) and they were talking about how Cliff Lee's kid has cancer and Philadelphia has a better children's hospital than Dallas and New York. So if that's the reason he took less money, that actually makes a lot of sense.

Kinda Baffled how Matsui is signed for under 5 Million. Guy's numbers and history show he's for real. Kinda surprised my Jays didn't make a bid for him. He'd be a great fit, imo.
Waiting to see who signs Randy Gregg. I believe the Jays get a #1 pick from whomeever inks him to a deal. - LOL |

Before anything... That stuff usually comes out. That's obviously more important reason to come to Philadelphia over anything else even the money.
I'm just surprised I haven't heard that before. |

I recall when he was in Philly during the playoff push there was talk of his son and cancer. So it was known.

I heard the stuff about Lee's kid before but everyone I saw write about it assumed the hospital he wanted to be near was in Texas I think. Guess they assumed wrong.
And I guess the contract he took from Philly really wasn't as huge a difference as first thought. He gets a 5 year $120M deal with a vesting option for a 6th year at $27.5M (or 12.5M buyout). Yankees offered most guaranteed at $148M. Rangers offered $138M guaranteed with an option that could have brought it to $161M. |

Interesting, becasue I've never heard anything about his child with cancer.
I hear it's really easy to get that option for the 6th year. So the contract is basically is guaranteed $147.5 million. |

Hughes & Montero should get it done. But I want Seattle to eat some money.

no way on Hughes. They would just be trading one good pitcher for another. Hughes is not as good as Felix is right now, but I think he will be an Ace is a few years.
Trading Hughes for Felix just puts them back where they are. |

The Mariners are not going to trade Felix. I think they'd rather trade Ichiro.

I might even trade Hughes for Hernandez. But, it either or if you want Montero package you can't have Hughes and if they want a Hughes package they can't have Montero. Cano is out of the question.
We do have a lot of good young pitching talent so if all they wanted was like Hughes and maybe 1 or 2 single A guys it's kinda stupid not to do it. Let's say the Mariners came up and said Hughes straight up for Hernandez ? I'd do it because we do have quite a few good minor league pitchers who'd do us good in the rotation. I love Hughes. But this is King Felix we are talking about. But, it's never gonna happen that way.................ever. |
