Phillies confirmed as finalists for Cliff Lee; Yankees "worried"
by WholeCamels on Dec 13, 2010 9:24 PM EST
Email
PrintMultiple sources are reporting that the Phillies are, in fact, the third team in the protracted Cliff Lee free agent extravaganza. Bob Klapisch of The Record, one of the first to uncover the Phillies' role in this whole affair, describes the Yankees as "worried" about the Phillies' involvement.
The Phillies' offer is believed to be for fewer years than those offered by either the Yankees or the Rangers, possibly as low as four years, but with a higher average annual value.
WHAT I THINK, BECAUSE YOU CARE
Cliff Lee is giving the Phillies every opportunity to come close to the Yankees and Rangers. He wants to play for the Phillies, he never wanted to leave in the first place. He knows exactly what he has in Texas, and the Yankees are a known quantity insofar as they can offer the most money over the longest term. Lee needs to be able to justify any decision to return to Philadelphia to the Players' Union, so it has to at least be close.
Stay tuned...

Excuse my ignorance
But why does he have to justify coming to Philly to the Player’s Union?
Thanks.
"I'm colonel cool! And I'm the captain on this rocket to the stars!"
Union would be upset if he took a dime less than he could have gotten. A guy like that is supposed to set the market for everyone else.

Makes sense.
He should still be able to do what he wants.
"I'm colonel cool! And I'm the captain on this rocket to the stars!"
I agree, but Lee is the once every year or maybe two years kind of free agent that the union sees as able to really set the market. The reason we’re talking about a 7 year 160 mil type deal is because that’s the market that Sabathia set.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook
Plus it’s not like they’re going to punish him. All they’re using is their power of persuasion. It only makes a difference with Lee because Lee cares what they think (evidently).
Right, but from his perspective there were guys that set the market for him… But yeah, there’s nothing the union can do about it.
Plus if he took less years but the same or more money per then that probably wouldn’t bother the union all that much.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook
Which is exactly why player unions are crippling. Why should a good player have to play somewhere he doesn’t want to because another team had to pay him $10 mill less.

Halladay taking a less than market deal.
Lee reportedly considering taking a less than market deal.
But this is PHILADELPHIA. don’t they know we only run stars out of town?

Bravo… you, sir, win one internet
I wish I could believe.
But I don’t see how we’re coming within earshot in years or money.
Paige's sparking personality is intoxicating; her beauty breathtaking; her intellectual prowess incomprehensible to mortals. Her radiance...her luster...drive men mad. Her omnipotence dangerous, yet alluring. It is her power that ensures gravity remains constant; her genius that inspires. She is not only responsible for the Earth's rotation, but may cure what ails the heart with a glance. I am Paige's pool boy...a serf to her ladyship. I am at her beck and call. I bow to her. I am not worthy. War Eagle.

We’re not. (Which, in my mind, still puts us behind the Yanks and Rangers in the pecking order.) But as someone — can’t remember who — pointed out on Twitter, he can’t actually be using the Phillies for leverage for that very reason.
Well… if he can credibly threaten to take the Phillies’ offer if they’re within $X million of the Yankees, then it gives him leverage to make the Yankees go >$X million higher.
I guess. Just doesn’t seem all that likely to get Yankees to actually raise their bid — the (unique) Jeter situation aside, I don’t think Cashman is particularly prone to bidding against himself.
It’s great that my Lee player tee might coming back into style, but my Oswalt one fits better.

Think of how much it would suck if we got Lee and still lost in the Division Series. There’s only so much you can push your odds up by in a 5-game series, no matter how good you are.
Agreed on both your points, but outside of moving Ibanez (which may not even be plausible) and finding a suitable upgrade (which isn’t ready on the farm or in the FA market as far as I can tell), you could say that about a lot of things.
I’m just excited at the prospect of Halladay/Lee/Hamels/Oswalt four out of every five games, no matter how the season ends (and even if it’s probably a poor allocation of resoucres).
I'll blow past hyped

1. Nugget about Phillies’ pursuit of Lee: One member of their org told me he wasn’t in class of Halladay or Sabathia and was riskier signing 7 minutes ago via Mobile Web
risky: he doesn’t have the left-fielding prowess of an oswalt, the perfect game of a halladay, and he likes to catch pop ups in the world series while not looking at them.

To me, that quote implys the Phillies should have been taken less seriously in their pursuit of Lee because they thought less highly of him (Lee) then everyone else. I assumed their offer was going to be 7 years before the Phillies started going after Lee.

Paige's sparking personality is intoxicating; her beauty breathtaking; her intellectual prowess incomprehensible to mortals. Her radiance...her luster...drive men mad. Her omnipotence dangerous, yet alluring. It is her power that ensures gravity remains constant; her genius that inspires. She is not only responsible for the Earth's rotation, but may cure what ails the heart with a glance. I am Paige's pool boy...a serf to her ladyship. I am at her beck and call. I bow to her. I am not worthy. War Eagle.

if they do this, what, have the Phillies just decided to go ahead and be the Yankees? otherwise, how do they extend Rollins or Utley or Hamels when the time comes?
Yeah, that’s a problem.
Oswalt’s a FA after this season, isn’t he? If so, 100% chance that he is allowed to walk. So in theory, that might free up enough room to extend Rollins, though maybe not.
Thought Oswalt had one more year after this followed by a club option
by Sept.28.Oct.27.Dec.28.2008 on Dec 13, 2010 11:23 PM EST up reply actions
It is one year and an option, thought it was club but could be his.
Thinking about asking my employer for an 11-year contract.
Trade Leighton.
No, 2012 is his option year. I believe its 16mil and 2mil buyout, effectively making his price 14mil to keep him.
cot’s lists it as a mutual option. my guess is the phils pay the buyout, decline the option, spend that money on j-roll and cole
We would be minus Oswalt, Lidge, and Ibanez.
Is that enough for Rollins, Hamels, and Madson?
Are there any built-in raises we need to worry about? Howard?
Strangely, I was just in Broad Street Hockey criticizing Homer for not thinking in the long run.
And here, thanks to no cap, I’m saying “who cares, let’s have a parade in October!”
Thinking about asking my employer for an 11-year contract.
Trade Leighton.
Right, but apparently the Phils can raise their cap unilaterally when it suits the suits.
Thinking about asking my employer for an 11-year contract.
Trade Leighton.
The money still has to come from somewhere. Either from next year’s budget or from minor league development or Dominican academies or wherever.
It’s not like the team theoretically doesn’t have the money if they wanted to raise the budget; however, owners would have to agree on it since the richest dude doesn’t own a majority of the team. Ah, if only Middleton was allowed to Steinbrenner the Phils…
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
If you mean the owners could kick more capital into the partnership, then sure they could do that, but that still lowers the capacity to do that in the future. The money always comes from somewhere.
Pray for another long postseason run? Certainly it’s a risk. I don’t know what the answer is. As a fan, this stuff is always exciting—but it’s like buying things on credit card. You buy that big shiny toy now, but at some point you’re going to have to pay your creditors.
