Besides, haven't you read the stuff being put out by the "unnamed sources" on the Cardinals that are saying Baby Pedro won't make it as a long term starter. He's too small for the long term.
I sure would like to know the real reason they are putting out that type of information. They got a trade in mind?

You would never say that if you want to trade someone unless you're Tony LaRussa.
Philly is eating none of that contract. They want 3-4 premium prospects plus the team to take all of Lee's salary. They are completely unreasonable demands foisted upon teams by an incompetent dumbass of a GM, and they should be completely ignored.
Martinez's ability to hold up as a starter with his body type is always a valid question, but Oswalt, Pedro, and many others survived with that body type for 10+ years.
