I have mixed feelings about this. There is no doubt Cliff Lee is a premier pitcher that could have been the face of the franchise for years to come, but that would have been at a very lofty price. I am kind of glad to see us have the extra change now to go out and get other players, but man, it would have been nice to see him in a Rangers uni for 5-7 years.
That being said, I am very glad the Yanks and Halos did not get them. How good will the Phillies be next year? Doc, Cliff, Oswalt and Hameles- geeze, do they even need to play the regular season?
Rangers need to go out and get Greinke now in my opinion, I am afraid they can not get deep in to the playoffs with out another great arm.
