not final until Doc agrees to an extension. It all hangs on that

What a bunch of horse !*%# these two statements are.
Prior to 3 months ago, Cliff Lee had NEVER pitched in the playoffs. How did things turn out for him?
Good pitchers perform well, regardless of what month it is. Roy Halladay will be just as dominant in October as he is April through September.
People questioning the logic behind the Phillies trading an ace for an ace? Well, how about getting getting the better starting pitcher in return? Plus, thePhillies will lock up Halladay for probably an additional 5 more years (reports are that they couldnt agree to terms with Lee) and Halladay may end up makingless money than Lee (when he signs a new deal).
As for the Jays...this team !%%*%# sucks. Toronto teams are all garbage. Jays, Leafs, Raptors, even our friggin' CFL team is the worst in the league andthe biggest university in the city wins 1-game ever 5 years.
This team is a complete mess and I fully expect them to be among the worst teams in MLB next season. Ownership doesn't care about winning, if they did,they would've hired a proven MLB GM to rebuild this team properly. Instead, they hired some former Expos intern with an Economics degree but no priorbaseball experience to manage this team. I'm not gonna blame our new GM for this trade since he didn't do anything wrong but there's little reasonto be optimistic when you have some guy who's learning on the job who's supposed to right this ship.

in reality this is all speculation until it's officially announced.
lots of different reports out rightnow. can't even get the prospects right.
It goes a bit deeper than that...number one, yes Halladay has been more dominant in his career, hes THE most dominant SP in the regular seasonsince 2002 pitching in the best hitting division in baseball. Hes not THAT much better, but hes better. Number two, Cliff Lee stated he was gonna test the freeagent market and stated he was looking for CC type numbers which scared the Phillies.Originally Posted by Al3xis
same thing I'm thinking.Originally Posted by cleansneaksonly21
Is Halladay really that much better than Lee?
Dude was probably just trying to impress us all with his vast knowledge.Originally Posted by FRANCHISE 55

the biggest factor in this trade is Halladay is not a playoff pitchers.
Lee was lights out in the playoffs...Halladay is clueless in the playoffs, when it really matters.
Halladay is better than Lee though...
