Blindsided

Cliff Lee has signed...with the Phillies?
Didn't see that one coming. He's going back to the team he helped to the 2009 World Series.
Lee's deal is 5-years for 120-million dollars with an option for a 6th year.
The Yankees offer of 7-years and 150-million wasn't good enough I suppose.
It must have been true also that Lee didn't like pitching in the frying pan that is Arlington, Texas in the summer.
The Phillies starting rotation goes from very good to unfreaking believably amazing.
How does this sound if you are an opposing team going into Philadelphia for a 4-game series to face Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels? That is also a righty, lefty, righty, lefty rotation. Kyle Kendrick and Joe Blanton are fine options for the 5th starter.
So, do I concede the National League East to the Phillies. Absolutely. Atlanta, Washington, Florida and the Mets have no shot. None. Zero. This Phillies team could win 105-110 games this season. Look out.
