Holy smokes batman' date=' the Dodgers claimed Cliff Lee.[/quote']It's been like Christmas for Dodger fans: HanRam, Victorino, League, Blanton and now Cliff Lee!

[italstallianion]

Did they actually get Lee or just claim him?

The Phillies would be smart to just let him go

The Phillies withdrew him from waivers.

[italstallianion]

That could be dangerous for the long term of the team, especially having just signed Hamels.

What a dumb thing to do. With big money contracts you're paying for the player's prime years with the later years. They only paid 33 million for the first two years, got the best out of him, and could have dumped his 4/100 contract for ages 34-38 onto the Dodgers. If the Dodgers were dumb enough, they might have gotten a prospect or two out of the deal.

 

What a poor decision.

[italstallianion]

I agree, especially after they already punted by selling Victorino and Pence. This would give them a chance to spend more money in the offseason by signing younger players to bad contracts.

[Thunder]

Red Sox face Ryan Dempster Tuesday against the Rangers. Let's see if the new team rattles him.
