Jayson Stark on ESPN.com is reporting that the Phillies might be trying to trade for him instead of Roy Halladay. The asking price might be a little lower on Cliff Lee than Roy Halladay. His 2008 season was historic:
Cliff Lee's masterful 2008 season:
22-3, 2.54 ERA, 223 IP, 170 SO, 34 BB, .880 W-L %
.880 W-L % (6th best since 1941)
Roy Face: Pirates 18-1 (1959)
Greg Maddux: Braves 19-2 (1995 )
Randy Johnson: Martiners 18-2 (1995)
Ron Guidry: Yankees 25-3 (1978)
Bob Stanley: Red Sox 15-2 (1978)
Cliff Lee: Indians 22-3 (2008)
Seasons with 22 wins, .700 W-L% and a sub-2.75 ERA since 1990:
Pedro Martinez (Red Sox) 1999
Randy Johnson (Diamondbacks) 2002
Cliff Lee (Indians) 2008
In 2009, Cliff Lee is 7-9 with a 3.14 ERA (3-0, 1.44 ERA in last 3 starts). He's still 29-12 with a 2.78 ERA since the beginning of 2008.
