    I thought it was just the Astros and Phillies always swapping at this time of the year. I guess the Dodgers aren't the ones who claimed Cliff Lee then...

      Kind of weird to quote myself, but it looks like the Dodgers are the ones who claimed Cliff Lee. We'll see if a deal is worked out. According to Amaro it doesn't look like it. (If so, why would he put him on waivers...IDK)

        They needed a 5th starting pitcher. Blanton is decent for that. He had 3 good years in Oakland.
