Cliff Lee is one of the baseball's best pitchers. With his 12-9 record and 3.18 ERA he led the Texas Rangers to their first World Series appearance in team history. Now the two big questions are. Will the Rangers going to resign him, and does he want to remain a Texas Ranger? If you ask me there is no way in hell you get rid of him, this guy throws complete game shutouts constantly and he is said to be very hard to hit, but if you watched my San Francisco Giants in the World Series you would think differently that's beside the point though. This guy has been on 4 teams in the last 3 years. Indians, Phillies, Mariners, and the Rangers. The GM of the Texas Rangers Nolan Ryan was asked in an interview during ALCS what it would take to keep Lee in Texas for many years to come and his response was "ask the Yankees". Nolan is basically saying the Yankees have the money if they want Cliff Lee that bad they can buy him like they do everyone else.
With the Yankees being my second favorite team i take that kind of offensive, simply because yes the Yankees have money and if you want to win you have to be willing to spend the big dollar that's life. For him to say that is just a knock against the Yankees. Yes that's his opinion and i know opinions are like butt holes everybody has one, so I guess I'm just going to take it with a grain of salt. So how do you feel about the whole ordeal? What move do you thing Cliff Lee is going to make, is he in it for the money like a lot of athletes today or is he old school and in it for the love of them game?
