Trade him now.
On another note, I may have been wrong about Cliff Lee being an ass. He just donated $1M to Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock.

What's $1M when you're 39 and getting paid to start 12 games for the Yankees for $23M a year? That's like Tom Cruise donating a dollar to the Jimmy Fund at the 7-11 cash register.

Its just nice to see someone giving back, especially that much. I heard that 60% of players in either the NBA or NFL end up bankrupt at some point and I guarantee you that none of them claimed gifts to charity when they itemized their deductions on their taxes....... if they even did their taxes.

The above doesn't really have anything to do with Cliff Lee, I just remembered it and wanted to work it in. It amazes me how poorly money is managed with the basketball and football players. I think we all can make assumptions her about why this is the case.

Gee, I guess its ONE MILLION DOLLARS that wouldn't have been available to save a kids life. I never understood how some people minimize a good deed because of its relative value to the givers income.

When he's 37 and washed up he's going to be just like most other Arkansans...getting paid to sit on his ass...
