National League: Phillies-Indians Agree on Deal to Send Cliff Lee to Philly

[MiamiHomer]

12:42pm: Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi report that the sides have agreed to a deal that sends Lee and Francisco to Philly for prospects.

More info to come.

[Metes]

Poop.

[MiamiHomer]

Philly gets Lee, Francisco

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

[Ralph]

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.

[MiamiHomer]

Talk about a lefty loaded starting rotation.

Hamels
Lee
Happ
Moyer
Blanton

Pedro probably replaces Moyer.

[wanks1212]

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

[Namaste]

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.

[McLevin]

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

[Metes]

Not scared? He gon be sick and will prolly blank us.

[PitchingWinsGames]

Fip aint never scurred

[Bobbob1313]

What if he can't sustain his insane hr/fb rate in cits bank?

[dgriot]

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

[Bobbob1313]

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

[Madman81]

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