Lee's having a nice start to the season with a 1.95 ERA and 0.76 WHIP but has a 0-1 record because of horrific run support. Anybody think he has any regrets about not resigning with the Rangers?

Lee is one of the best in the game. He would obviously make any team better. If you add him to that Rangers roster, now that's scary. But who knows if they would have gone after Yu Darvish if they still had Lee.

I think the Rangers used the money they set aside for Lee to sign Beltre. As good as Beltre is, the Rangers already have a ton of good hitters. Add Cliff Lee to the Rangers rotation and they would have elite starting pitching to go along with the incredible lineup and bullpen they have. Scary.

Wow I didn't realize that. Like you said, Beltre is real good, but that offensive lineup is so potent, they did not absolutely need him. I can't imagine if Cliff Lee was added to that rotation. Scary indeed. I already consider them to be the best team in the majors, by a wide margin too.

Isn't Lee hurt or is he off the DL?

Imagine if the Dodgers still had Beltre.

Belter & Darvish's potential > Lee

Beltre's a better value at 16M than Lee is at 24M, but damn if they could somehow have both

Just came off, and in his 2nd start through 8 innings of 1 ER ball, only for Chad fricking Qualls to blow a 3-run lead in the 9th.
