And I’m not terribly disappointed. Of course Roy Halladay, Toronto’s 11-3 ace, would make a great addition to the Phillies starting rotation. But getting Cliff Lee, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner, isn’t a shabby replacement - especially in the short-term. Long term we’ll have to see if it was worth giving up Carrasco, Knapp, Marson and Donald – all potential big-time big leaguers.
But hey, this is Philadelphia. We want to win now. With the addition of Lee and Martinez, we’ve put ourselves in a position to do just that. Let’s just hope Halladay doesn’t end up signing with the Yankees, or worse, The Red Sox. For now though, follow Andy Martino’s lead and breathe easy.
