**** no. Cliff Lee offers you no surplus value, bloats your payroll by $25 million, and costs you an elite prospect plus another very, very good one? Pass.

JFC, from the STL today chat
I would like to introduce you to a player. Perhaps you don't know him as well as you think you do, and perhaps some of you are going to meet him for the first time here. This season -- and he's having a down season to be sure --
No, it's not Carl Crawford. It's Matt Holliday. I am perplexed by this notion that he has somehow not "earned his paycheck." I invite you to look up the "paychecks" of the aforementioned left fielders and see how they've done during the length of their very similar deals. Tell me what he has to do to win your favor because there are a lot of teams out there who would like him to just be Matt Holliday in the middle of their lineup. Apparently, unless he homers in every plate appearance, plays shortstop, and fights crime downtown as Captain Cardinal in his free time, he can never win with a minority of fans

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?

Read that the Cardinal coaches hates Zep. He wouldn't follow their instructions during the game, wouldn't work on pitches and was insubordinate. Thats the real reason he was sent down and kept down there. Who knows if that shit is true.

At 20, he has room to improve; scrabble has been garbage for the better part of 2 seasons.

Mother****ing Matheny is just a dumbass. Leaves Kozma up in the biggest AB of the game for the second straight day. He should have PH Freese there, moving Descalso to short.
Almost ****ed us over times two.

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.

****. Holliday up in an absolute must AB. Odds of him swinging at a bad pitch?

$8 million/year is a damn good price. Plus, he can hit leadoff and let Carpenter hit second while Holliday drops to the five hole.
