Phillies Bolsters Staff

This afternoon the Phillies landed LHSP Cliff Lee from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for pitchers Jason Knapp and Carlos Carrasco, shortstop Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson.

Lee's record against the NL is a respectable 12-2 with a 3.18 ERA.

Lee, 30, is eligible for free agency after the 2010 season. He is earning $5.75 million this year, with a $9 million club option for 2010 that should be exercised.

Lee becomes the fourth left handed pitcher in the Phillies starting rotation, along with Cole Hamels, Jamie Moyer, and JA Happ.
