As for the picks, you don't know what you're getting and on top of that the Phillies would then had to bid against 29 other clubs for Lee who already thinks he's going to get Sabathia money.

I love Cliff Lee, but i trust Phillies team management for letting him go, look at what they have done over the past three years !
