There should be plenty of people coming in your shop with high fives today.
I'd say stock up on Lee jerseys while you can get them cheap for resale, but we all know he's not going to be #34 again.

What's crazy to me, the Phils #4 starter, Cole Hamels, could be the #1 guy on a majority of teams.
....and the Phils still won't win the Series

Great signing.
No matter what anyone here says, if they win a couple of series, its all worth it. The fact is that no matter what, they have now cemented the fact they are contenders for at least 2 -3 years down the road.
They have the best staff by far in baseball. Imagine 3 years ago if someone were to ask you if Cole Hamels would ever be a #4 starter. Thats how good they are.
Regarding him leaving money on the table, 100 million is still 100 million.
Believe me when I say there is no way Lee will live any better on $154 million than the $100 million hes making now.
$154/7 or $100/5 equates to $22 million/ year vs $20 million/year. Factor in personal happiness over the next half decade and its not really that surprising.
The one team I do feel bad for is Texes. I am not a fan of them but to get that far then lose the guy who got you there must really suck!

very very happy with this move
This is obviously a great signing for Philadelphia and makes them the prohibative World Series favorite out of the National League. The Giants are similar to the 1988 Dodgers in that they had a magical run fueled by pitching and clutch hitting from a weak lineup. Buster Posey is a stud but everyone else is pretty mediocre. Look at the 2010 Mariners to see how a bad lineup can kill a team. The Cardinals and Reds are probably the biggest challengers to Philly in 2011.
There are a lot of sour grapes in this thread. Lee will be a stud for at least 2-3 more years and better than average after that. I wish my team had signed an ace for two years less than anticipated. You do too, unless you're in denial.
