In an incredibly surprising move that still has me shaking my head in disbelief, the Phils re-signed Cliff Lee on Monday night to bring him back to an already stellar starting rotation: Roy Halladay, fresh off his Cy Young award winning season, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels. It was generally believed that the Lee was headed to the Yankees, who were offering $154 million over 7 years, but Lee accepted the Phillies’ $120 million/5 year deal instead, for the opportunity to pitch again for a team he loved in a city he loved in 2009. Now if only the Phils can remember how to hit, and we’re looking pretty good for another run at the World Series!
