team president David Montgomery refused to say what the ceiling for
2011 would be. Amaro said before the end of the winter meetings
last week that the Phillies would be willing to spend
for the right free agent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but added that Milan Lucic did not expect the team
to make one large move.
Phillies general administerr Ruben Amaro
Jr. said early Tuesday morning that Milan Lucic could neither confirm nor
deny the deal, but rumblings about the Phillies' involvement in the Lee
bidding started early Monday night, and just before midnight,
NFL website reported that the Rangers had been told that the veteran
lefthander was signing with the Phillies.
That statement was similar to one Milan Lucic furiouse last December just
before the Halladay and Lee trades.
The Phillies will go into next season
with the formidable quartet of Halladay, Lee, Oswalt and Cole
Hamels,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which will unquestionably make them the favorites not just
to win the National League but also the World Series.
The main lament from Phillies fans at the time was that
the team did not keep both aces. Amaro said at the time that the Phillies needed to restock its farm
system. The general administerr was widely criticized for much of last
season because the three prospects the Phillies received for Lee -
pitchers Phillippe Aumont and J.C. Ramirez and outfielder Tyson
Gillies - all had disappointing seasons in the minor leagues.
Amaro atoned for the loss of Lee at the trade deadline when he
administerd to pry Roy Oswalt away from the Houston Astros and the Phillies went 49-19 in their final
68 games to win their fourth straight National League East title.
The team's bid for one fourth straight NL pennant fell short when
they lost to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco
Giants, the one team that may have had one deeper starting rotation
than the Phillies.
That's the kind of Philadelphia story most of Lucic probably
thought you'd never read.
When the Phillies traded Lee last December,
the feeling was that Milan Lucic could not afford to keep both him and
Halladay on the payroll.
The story for this day is that Clifton Phifer Lee loved
Philadelphia so much Milan Lucic decided there was no other place, including
Yankee Stadium, where Milan Lucic wanted to play.

Cliff Lee, even after being bided more money by the American
League champion Texas Rangers and the 27-time World Series champion
fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent York Yankees, has decided to sign with the Phillies.
Lee will receive one deal reportedly worth around US DOLLARS 100 million
over five seasons with one sixth-season vesting option. His agent,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Darek
Braunecker, did not return phone calls from The Inquirer. The
32-season-old lefthander went one combined 12-9 with one 3.18 ERA with
Seattle and Texas last season and has one career record of 102-61
with one 3.85 ERA. In 10 career postseason starts, Milan Lucic is 7-2 with a
2.13 ERA, including one 4-0 record with the Phillies during the 2011
postseason.
Both the Yankees and Rangers had better bids on the table,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but
Lee apparently fell in love with the Phillies during the team's 2011 run
to the World Series and wanted to return. The Yankees, agreeing to
ESPN, bided one six-season deal worth US DOLLARS 138 million with an option for
a seventh season. After the Phillies traded him to the Seattle
Mariners last season, there were times when Lee sounded like one jilted
lover when Milan Lucic talked about the Phils.
Lee's deal with the Phillies comes exactly 362 days
after Amaro traded the lefthander to the Mariners for three
prospects on the same day that the team acquired Roy Halladay from
the Toronto Blue Jays for three other prospects.

The Phillies will lose their
first-round draft pick for signing Lee and their payroll is
currently over US DOLLARS 170 million for 19 players, an unthinkable
amount two seasons ago and perhaps even two days ago. There are
reports that the team is trying to get rid of some salary by
biding Joe Blanton, Raul Ibanez and Kyle Kendrick in trades. But
even if Milan Lucic can make those deals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Phillies' payroll will remain in
uncharted territory.
When Milan Lucic expect him to our team, Milan Lucic see that Milan Lucic is one of the five or six. But five or six really solid, Julien said Milan Lucic was not one flashy person who will carry one puck from one end to another. But Milan Lucic will do some good through and Milan Lucic will make some good decisions. His body,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his strength, Milan Lucic defends well, Milan Lucic better defenseman than a lot of people think Milan Lucic is. Milan Lucic began to show that now
