Cliff Lee...

Will the Mariners keep him and get the two picks or will he be traded. I know we have a long time to go until the trade deadline, but I wanted to see how others feel about this. Also, where do you think he will end up?

Here is a link to a rumor- http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/Mari ... ork-Yankee

Ms should do it NOW.

no chance he is coming back, too much BS and losing going around. the only chance he would want to is because Safeco is the best pitchers park in the AL possibly. also great outfield range.

but that wont stop him from wanting out, and speaking of out the Ms are out of the playoff race. with a limp division any team could climb back in, but sadly the Ms are not even close to "any team" :x

Sweeney, their best power/leader guy is out. Fister, their best pitcher is out. it would take a heroic effort of Bradley, Figgins, and Lopez heating up massively. I dont see it, they should trade away.

They better get a sick haul for him. They should get more than they gave up for Bedard. At the time, that seemed like an unGodly haul.

agreed. it would basically make them a WS lock Imo, so they better give some goodies.

Montero will be in the deal i would think.

then they have romine and murphy in the minors with cervelli up in the bigs with posada.

donrusscrusademan · Jun 10, 2010

since then I report has came out that says the Yanks arnt interested... now.
that puts some pressure on Boston to nab this guy, as the Yankees are going to get him after the season with a big deal, unless another winning and rich team can snag him now IMO.

of course the Yankees also could be doing a little diversion and be going after him. the Ms obviously want one of their 2 prime catching prospects, as the Ms catching system is pathetic

Despite all the rumors...I highly doubt the yanks will land Lee.
I also dont believe the Yanks aren't interested anymore...who wouldn't be to get a pitcher like that.
In the end..Lee will find himself back in the NL.

Why should we want Lee, he has had a good year or two, mixed in with years where he was sent back to the minors. He is what 31 or 32 by the time we sign him. He shouldn't be in line for a 5 yr 100 M contract like he will want (if not more). But then again if AJ and Lackey get 85 M, I guess Lee should get more than that. I'd rather save the money.

To the phillies again? hahaha

We should have kept him for the $9 million this year and the 2 draft picks after he left. The 3 bums we got for him were NOT worth it. ....but every Phillies fan knew that when the deal happened and now those "prospects" are just proving us right.

starting pitching is not what the yankees need.

Pettitte and Hughes are 8-1
Sabathia & Burnett

Javy Vazquez has come around...Why do they need Cliff Lee?

Would it be nice? sure...but come on

darocker80 · Jun 10, 2010

I could see the dodgers wanting/needing him, but can't see them putting together a package for him.

I agree, but I dont think a team 'needs' pitching to try and go after a talent like Lee, and the Yankees are no exception. Pettitte, although old, it still pitching well, but for how long? Hughes may be producing this year, but is far from a proven 'top of the rotation' starter in my eyes. Burnet is a quality bottom rotation starter, and Sabathia is the only pitcher they have who I believe should be untouchable.

Adding Lee to the Yankee rotation turns a good, but unpredictable pitching staff, to a dominating rotation.

QFT. Lee would be the "staple" in that rotation. Just imagine cc lee pettite hughes vasquez.

Yanks can get ClifF Lee and trade them to the Nats for Starsburg or Bryce Harper
