[Official] Astros Off Season

I think the Phillies waited to long to enter the picture.

Hope Cliff Lee signs with Texas.

 

^^^Nope.

Rumors tonight he could choose the Phillies.

"Why is Cliff Lee taking so long? There is belief he is headed for Phillies."

"At thsi moment, #Yankees have become extremely negative about landing Lee and believing that he is edging toward #Phillies"

 

Yea, I'm reading the same. I think he was going to go back to Arlington until Philly got involved.

 

Yeah. If it does end up happening that way(Lee to PHI), as you said earlier, HOLY $%#%, heh.

Halladay
Lee
Oswalt
Hamels

or something of that variation

Oh ****!!! Don't the 'Stros start the season at the Phils? ****!!!

 

Ken_RosenthaI It's (almost) official: Lee has reached a tentative agreement with the #Phillies, he is waiting to see if the #Rangers will offer 8yrs.

 

8 years? Nah, not gonna happen imo. He's off to Philly.

 

mlbtraderumors That was from a fake Ken Rosenthal account. We'll keep you posted if and when there is actual news on the Cliff Lee front.

 

It was from a fake account, my bad. MLB trade rumors retweeted the wrong tweet.

 

Its official. Lee to Phillies

 

WTF? Just hear Yanks out of C.Lee sweepstakes. Then I just saw Phillies sign Lee

Stros are screwed on that opening series. Only question is who starts opening day???

 

Must suck for Halladay. He's the same age as Lee, and Philly gave him a 3-yr deal last year and Lee gets a 6 or 7 year deal (presumably) from the same team just a year later.

 

Is 120 wins out of the question for the Phillies? Cole Hamels is a #1 on many teams and he's #4 on this one. Roy Oswalt a #3? As long as it's the good Brad Lidge, I don't see how any one in the NL can come close to this.

 

Word is that it's a 5yr/100 mil deal, what a steal and props to Lee, hopefully this helps Roy get a ring. They won't even need a bullpen with Halladay and Lee

 

Halladay
Oswalt
Lee
Hamels

The Phillies are loaded!!!

 

Kendrick is a very strong #5 as well.

If they stay healthy I think they can break the Mariners record of 117 wins.

 

Injuries could happen, like how the Astros lost Pettite in 2004. Also, wouldn't suprise me if Oswalt has a down (average) year... which would still be better than most #3's out there, but it won't be ace-like.

But Lee-Halladay duo alone can get them close to 100 wins, and a World Series title.

 

Phillies are going to trade Blanton, 5 dollars says Ed Wade is on the phone right now lol.
