| Phillies trade for Cliff Lee!
Phillies get: Cliff Lee & Ben Francisco
Indians get: Jason Knapp, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald, & Lou Marson |

| The Phillies just locked up the division title, great move for them. I think this most likely makes them the team to beat in September. It'll be interesting to see what the Dodgers do to respond. | |

| Top-shelf pitchers typically don't have their first good season at age 29. Lee's good, but if this is what the Phillies are going to have to settle for instead of Roy Halladay, then I'd say they just struck out. | |

| Moving from the AL to the NL will make him look better than people think.
It's just not as good of a league. | |

| Cliff Lee isn't a Roy Haladay any means but the Phills didn't give up a lot either.
Knapp is good but young, Carrasco is probably a #3, and Marson and Donald are all glove and no stick going forward. | |

It's just not as good of a league. | I think the exact opposite. He is not going to be pitching against the AL central anymore. NL east is alot better than the AL central. He is a rollercoaster of a pitcher
