re: Cliff Lee

I love having him, but I feel bad for the guy. I hope whoever signs him next season (I would love for it to be the Rangers, but they probably won't have the funds) puts a no-trade clause in the contract. I heard that Lee will pretty much only consider contracts with the clause because he's tired of being tossed around like a rag doll. 4 teams in under two seasons..

JMO when guys go after the money they end up moving around more

I was very surprised the Phillies moved him but I guess they weren't willing to do more than 18 million a year - seems to me he could pick his team with a no trade clause if he went down to 15 million a year. But if it's not important enough to negotiate that way he should expect to keep his stuff in moving boxes
