Yeah, it’s foolish to ask. A pitcher was available. I am 100% certain every contending team asked about Lee.

How with hindsight do u pass on Lee?

No matter if they win a lose this thing you will see them go hard after Halladay.

It’s easy to skip over those parts, though. I completely enjoyed the tidbits about Coke.

In fact, I’m so immune to the money thing that I didn’t even notice it.

It’s a nice thing about Coke, but articles like this are so cliche, I get sick of reading them. I find this kind of story to be as much an underhanded swipe at the “rich” Yankees, or rich athletes, or even rich people in general, as it is a story about a guy like Coke.

The Yankees make alot of money. That’s good for the Yankees, but it’s also good for the rest of baseball. Just like it’s good that Boston makes alot of money, and LA, and Chicago. And would it somehow be better, or more “fair,” to the league, or to society, or to the poorly paid, envious and covetous sportswriter, if the owners of these teams pocketed more of the money and fielded mediocre teams?

Everything costs more in NY. Everyone from plumbers to janitors to doctors make more in NY than anywhere else. I’m so sick of hearing about it.

i would hate for Yankee fans to start this. Cashman did not make a move for Lee because he didnt have to with the way the team was constructed. the Phillies had more of a need for him and they made the right move.

Because whenever a good player is traded, the Yankees are idiots for not getting him first.

That Zito contract always makes me laugh.

The Phillies didn’t give up their best prospect for Lee, but they did give up good prospects for Lee.

With the unfair benefit of full hindsight, I still pass.

The Phillies did not even give up their best pitching prospect for Lee. Halladay because he was in the division is a different story. Lee appears to have been more available for a more reasonable price. I guess it does not matter now. Lee does not swing a bat so offense is just as much to blame. as Michael Douglas said in wall street” I hate losses nothing ruins my day more than losses”
