Crazy rotation.
Now what are the Yanks going to do?  Greinke I doubt it going there.  Their starting five is very big concern for them.

Crawford will be the better value.

Crawford better be in the running for MVP then because if Lee throws how he usually does, especially if he gets the face the pitcher now every nine batters, he'll be up for Cy Young.

Positional players don't have to be in the running of MVP to be more valuable than a Cy Young candidate.

lol, okay. Let me rephrase.

Crawford better hit close to .330 & steal close to 40 bases & be driven in over 100 times to be as valuable as Lee who will likely post a 2.50 ERA & win over 17 games.

.320/.370/520

120 runs, 35-45 SB, 20HR, 95+ RBI's good enough?

That's good enough to make it a debate at the end of the season; not outright take it lol.

I mean, they both could flop. So I guess we have to wait anyway.

haha, to get Felix for next year the Yankees would have to literally give up the farm, and that still might not be enough, probably would have to throw in Cano too.

In 1976, baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn vetoed an attempt by Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley to sell Blue to the New York Yankees and in 1977, Kuhn cancelled a proposed trade of Blue to the Cincinnati Reds. In both instances, Kuhn said the trades would be bad for baseball because they would benefit already powerful teams without making them give up any significant talent in return.

^ yea i dont like that, plus, if they disallow him to go to phillies, it best be dissalowed to go to yankees. plus this is a straight up sign, not a sell, not a trade rape.... but in any case i dont like the comiss getting involved like that, horrible precedent, id fuck bud up if he did it to any team, let alone mine.

The World Series Champion Giants still have best pitching in the majors no doubt.

Lincy, Cain, Bumgarner and Sanch>>>>>Doc, Lee, Oswalt, Hammells 

This last playoffs already showed that, Lincy beat Doc once and owned Lee twice.  We own these 4 guys, we should be talking about the amazingly young pitching staff of the giants that is the best in the majors, not this miami heat like bullshit rotation in Philly.

If you  guys can pull it off again I'd be impressed but I'm gonna say Philly wins the NL this year (just like I did last year).

I know, and I think posting up a bunch of stats to proven that statement wrong is just a waste of time.  No one REALLY believes that.

Well yankees fans need to quit their behavior, 1 of their behaviors is why Lee didn't sign with them.  Referring to their treatment of his wife.  Brainwashed 2 believe that their team will throw a large amount to make his wife 4get about the harsh treatment :D there's a saying.  If the wife ain't happy, then the husband won't be happy either ;) .  Not everyone wants to join their team.  Greg Maddux, Griffey Jr. , Lee, & me of course ;D Get over it!  But I always say, scum hates their own medicine.  And frisco fans do have a point.  They even whooped Lee on the Rangers. 
   And its stupid that some media people chastised Lee because he chose the Phillies.  1st time in their history they went to 3 straight LCS.  Ever since they got 10,000 losses they've been doing the darn thing.  Why should it be only the Yankees & Braves[during their success] that get all the good pitching?  More than 3 good starters.

Madison Bumgarner could end up being the best of them all lol
