Nice work by the Phils pulling this off and sticking to their guns on the Halladay front.

At least Cleveland fans can take solace in the fact that Butch Davis is turning the Tarheels into a powerhouse in the ACC. I'm pretty sure the people who hated Belichick when he coached the Browns are the same ones who hated Butch Davis when he coached the Browns and are also the same ones that will tell you the Indians made a great deal in trading Lee.

Phils still have Happ, Drabek, Savery, and Bastardo. I love the deal.

Great deal for the Phils and good enough deal for the Tribe. I mean, if you replace Carrasco with Happ above, I'd bet you're singing the same tune. It's not like the Phils were going to trade four or five young arms for Lee or even Halladay.

Crap I thought the Indians got Brown in this deal. Nevermind what I was saying earlier, I'm getting drunk now and things are a lot clearer.

The BA preseason rankings list is pretty much irrelevant by now.

Drabek, Brown and Taylor were all in the top 25 of BA's midseason rankings, and the Phils didn't have to part with any of them. That's huge.

Absolutely. That still doesn't mean the Tribe got taken to the ringer. And that's coming from someone who is very skeptical of the trade.
