If You Have 3 #1s Is Anyone a #2?
File this under "Get Real Scared of the Phillies," Cliff Lee is returning to Philly on a 5-yr, $100mil $120mil deal. If Cliffers pitches 200 innings in 2015 or 400 total in 2014+2015 then a $27.5mil option for 2016 vests (with a $12.5mil buyout). Much respect to Cliff on not just running to the Yankees 6-yr, $138mil (+ $16mil player option). We are now looking at, arguably, the best rotation of our lifetimes. Cheers.
