    I'll add this: If we end up with Lee, we better not have anything to do with Hamilton this off-season.

    I guess we make up the small minority that wants nothing to do with Hamilton on a Pujols-type deal.

    Yeah, I don't like the contract he will get or his 'issues'... Take that shit elsewhere.

    The Hamilton market will go one of two ways. Either GMs will be all over him or he will be out there for the taking. I get the sense that feelings on the guy are feast and famine. If the market goes the way of the former, I think Ned swoops in and grabs two hitters. I also see us being in on Marcum and Greinke.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd take Hamilton at 6/160 or so, but not 10/240.

    I see Ned pursuing Bourn or Melky Cabrera to be that 1/2 type hitter. Could also look at Swisher as a full-time 1B, even if he hits .265 his OBP would be a huge upgrade over Loney/Rivera.

    Bourn would be pretty cool. Finally move Kemp to RF and Ethier to LF.

    Didn't the Dodgers and Phils have until this afternoon to sort a deal out? Looks like the ship has sailed.

    NL West Notes: Lee, Dodgers, Rockies
    By Edward Creech [August 5, 2012 at 3:01pm CST]

    Cliff Lee will remain a Phillie as the window on the Dodgers' waiver claim closed today. Lee responded by allowing three home runs in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks this afternoon. When asked by Zach Links yesterday, 68% of MLBTR readers thought the Phillies should have let Lee go. But, Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com outlines two scenarios explaining why the Phillies held onto Lee. In other news involving teams from the NL West:

    Fuck the Phillies.
    They will pay for their refusal to hand us Lee. You can trust me on that.
