Philly gets Lee, Francisco

Indians get Jason Knapp, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Donald and Lou Marson.

unimpressive haul by Cleveland. Shapiro has really fallen in my eyes. You can't come away without getting one of brown/taylor in this deal.

Talk about a lefty loaded starting rotation.

Hamels
Lee
Happ
Moyer
Blanton

Pedro probably replaces Moyer.

If this trade leads to Jamie Moyer being bumped from the rotation, I am in favor of this deal.

We may never beat the Phillies again

This trade will cost us at least one W this season.

Should I be scared? I'm not 100% as worried. Halladay would have been a killer.

Lee has been one of the AL's most effective pitchers for the last two years, and is moving over to the NL

Yeah that's pretty scary to add to an already loaded team

A potential front 4 of Hamels/Lee/Blanton/Drabek by 2nd half '10. Great. Just great.

I don't see Drabek or Blanton being very scary next year.

Unbelievably stupid for Cleveland. Way to not get any of their top prospects.

Well we did get all those wins in that stretch we played against a bunch of Cy winners. The way I look at it, I'd rather face Cliff Lee when playing Philly than face Moyer, and it looks like that might be indeed the case.

Paying attention fail. Yes, Cleveland.

I hate to see Francisco go to Philly just to be a right handed bat off the bench, which is basicly all he is now. On a side note I was about to pick him up in my fantasy league today because hes been really hot lately, then I noticed the trade and killed a good OF.
